After all the excitement of Eurovision it has to be said that Darrell was on a bit of a downer, so when Hugh suggested that he travel back to London with him and spend a few days at his Notting Hill pied a terre to recharge his batteries it was a no brainer.
Hugh had work commitments to meet for an up and coming game show, but while he was going hither and thither Darrell was most welcome to come and go as he pleased, avail himself of Hugh’s staff and all the luxury comestibles and beverages in his extensive pantry. Let’s just say Darrell just couldn't wipe the happy grin off his face.
As ever, Hugh has proved to be the most attentive of hosts, making sure that Darrell was be surrounded by fresh flowers …and knowing how much Darrell loves a daffodil, he’d had a crate especially flown over from North America, as they are now well and truly out of season in the UK, to help further lift Darrell’s spirits. It was emotional.
Said daffodils were then meticulously arranged throughout Hugh’s flat in the most en trend of en trend receptacles, with Hugh explaining to Darrell that no one, but no one was to be seen without “ …. zee zebra zis season darling”
……. or they really were a no-one in the world of style, a la mode and Donatelle Versace!
Hugh had also arranged for Darrell to be put in his newly refurbished guest wing …….. again, it was emotional, especially as Darrell has never in his life slept between two bare naked ladies before ……
…….. and though initially somewhat distracted, he did manage to start making copious notes on zebras, anxious that The Towers would not to be found wanting of them upon his return.
Hugh is just such a hero to Darrell, someone to truly look up to, someone who is so generous in sharing his knowledge of all things de rigueur, his wonderful home(s) and the occasional morsel of showbiz or royal gossip.
Darrell felt truly blessed in a Hello magazine type way …… even if Eurovision was now another year away, it didn’t seem to matter anymore.

What a wonderful visit. I don't think zebras have caught on in Mexico.
There's a space in that bed - Darrell I'm on my way...but I refuse to go naked!!! JantheFan x
Darrell sounds like he’s having a fantastic time in London, it certainly sounds luxurious.

I have very good news! Those zebra vases are in Poundland for a pound! They were a sensation amongst my fellow sewing pals on Instagram last month. Fingers crossed they still have some!
