No wonder Duncan Bannatyne appears to be giving wife Nigora Whitehorn’s daring outfit a double take when they stepped out on Friday – she wore it on one of the coldest nights of the year so far.

Nigora (41), was at risk of getting a cold in her creation just as Storm Arwen came in.

The pair were at the Butterfly Ball, organised by Phones4U billionaire John Caudwell and partner Modesta Vzesniauskaite for his children’s charity.

Former Dragons’ Den star Duncan, who himself is worth £175 million, wasn’t hanging around.

Wise man!

Mirabelle Pierre Blanc, 19, has abandoned her dreams to become a professional dancer and is instead joining the family business

Despite the timescale, the 59-year-old, who recently opened a Mr White’s in Leicester Square, has already been dispensing advice to his daughter. 

‘I told her to enjoy the staff but don’t get too close to them because they take advantage.’ 

Sounds like Marco’s had his fingers burned before…
