Comedy bad boy Heydon Prowse, famed for digging a pound sign into Alan Duncan’s front lawn at the height of the expenses scandal, was honoured for his services with a golden gong at Sunday night’s Baftas.
Steerpike hears he hit the celebrations at the Southbank Centre after-party a little too hard. Prowse was the last guest standing, running around asking if anyone had seen his Bafta. When he finally surfaced he told me:
‘I left it on the dance floor. You have no idea how heavy those things are, like genuinely heavy.’
But who would pinch a gong at an awards show? Prowse has a theory:
‘I reckon the Made in Chelsea lot nicked it. They see us as a threat to the establishment. Don’t you reckon?’
Perhaps, Heydon, perhaps.
