The BBC reporter nicknamed the 'Beirut Beefcake' may get more attention for his dishy looks and perfect abs than his news reports, but they're clearly not enough to find him love. Foreign correspondent James Longman, 29, has been looking for love on dating app Tinder – using screengrabs of himself reporting on the Syrian conflict from Beirut. The hunk's profile, linked to his Instagram account, also features a snap of him reporting from Paris and a racy shot of him in a chest-baring body stocking.

James was ticked off by the Beeb last month for breaking their social media policy after he shared an Instagram photo comparing Donald Trump's press conference to a speech by former Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddafi. What will they think of him using his role at the Corporation to get a date?

They fly all the way across the Atlantic to enjoy its luxurious and exclusive ambience.

But soon US-based regulars of Mayfair club 5 Hertford Street – including Bella Hadid, Alexa Chung and a selection of rock stars and supermodels – will be able to get their fix much closer to home.

I can reveal that the plush club’s owner Robin Birley is attempting to raise £100 million to open a New York branch.

It will be the coolest club move to the Big Apple since Soho House opened there in 2003. And it will be seen as a direct challenge by Birley to his London nightclub nemesis Richard Caring, owner of Annabel’s and a major shareholder in the Soho House empire.

Heather Kerzner, ex-wife of hotel billionaire Sol Kerzner, told me of her Valentine’s Day proposal from PR man James Henderson when I called to congratulate her last week. ‘James took me to dinner at Scott’s and gave me a Valentine’s present, but when he pushed it across the table I realised it was an engagement ring.’ She then put me on speakerphone so James, CEO of Bell Pottinger, could add: ‘I bought it at Boodles.’ They will host a two-part wedding, with a Thursday Thanksgiving dinner followed by a party on Saturday, organised by Tom Freud, nephew of fellow PR guru Matthew.
