My friend Gary's like a toddler on a sugar rush - and sorry Royals, he'll be in the BB house to the bitter end

Gary Goldsmith, a multi-millionaire businessman, referred to himself as a "too sweet" in the first episode of the all-new Celebrity Big Brother series. It's a word that sums up everything you need to hear about the uncle of the future Queen of England. His words took me right back to a holiday I spent with him in 2014 in Ibiza, where he later named Maison de Bang Bang (after his favorite house music rather than anything more suspicious) and now renamed Tesoro de Oro (Golden Treasure). When I lay down in the pool trying to relax with a book, he let my hair fall into the water. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, my sunglasses, and now my flipflops. Just like a toddler. 'I'm just trying to be a good host and making sure everyone isn't as drained as I am,' he said, groaning at me as I groaned. I'd already played endless rounds of the card game Nomination Whist with him. For the facts, I know better than most how much 'Uncle Gaz' gets as a friend of ten years.

CRAIG BROWN: In seven hops, from Le Carré to Imelda Marcos

CRAIG BROWN: Writers tend to be overlooked, though I do have an old book titled Sleeping With Bad Boys and subtitled: 'A juicy tell-all of literary New York in the 1950s and 1960s.' Alice Denham, the author's former Playboy playmate, wrote in more detail about her obsessions with modern American authors such as Norman Mailer, Joseph Heller, and Philip Roth ('a sex fiend). . . I was breathless. . . He hung in long and stale ('). Sadly, Ms Denham never appeared to Britain in the 1950s, so she missed out on tweedy, pipe-smoking nights of ferocious literature with our own admired writers of the day, such as J.B. Priestley or J.R.R.R.R. Tolkien. In the meantime, we can now enjoy The Secret Heart by a former John le Carré's family, Suleika Dawson. The book is described as a 'personal memoir.'
