‘Eva is an incredible
woman and I love her so
much and I’m learning so
much from her’ Victoria
hit Disney film Frozen, along with several other
big-name guests.
“David was in a private box with three nannies,
Romeo and Harper, tucking into a buffet,” a
source told hello!. “Rather sweetly, when the
film began, Harper sat on David’s knee and
watched the whole film, transfixed. They looked
like they were having a great time.”
Victoria and Eva meanwhile had plenty of
famous company of their own at the Global Gift
ceremony. Lord Archer acted as auctioneer, with
items up for grabs including a trip to watch the
2015 Monaco Grand Prix from a super yacht with
Eva. The former Desperate Housewives star joined
him to encourage guests to dig deep. She and the
novelist quarrelled playfully as she refused to give
up her microphone.

GLOBAL SUCCESS
By the time the auction was over, Eva was
delighted to learn that it had been the most
successful Global Gala ever held in London,
raising more than £405,000 to support women
and children around the world.
A galaxy of stars turned out for the night, with
Eva, Ricky, Victoria and the event’s host Steve
Jones, who brought along his new wife Phylicia
Jackson, joined by Nicole Scherzinger, Alexandra
Burke – who performed her hit Hallelujah at
Eva’s behest – and Strictly Come Dancing contestant
Thom Evans, who attended with his dance
partner Iveta Lukosiute.
Although Thom is now out of the competition,
he told hello! that he is looking forward to
reuniting with Iveta for the Strictly Come
Dancing Live tour. “I didn’t think I really reached
my potential and hope I can during the live tour,”
he said. “It was a huge shame to be voted off.”
Lindsay Lohan also dropped in to lend her
support to Eva and enjoyed a quick catch-up
with Victoria.
The morning after the event, an exhausted
but happy Eva told hello!: “What an amazing
evening it was. To be there to see my dear
friends Ricky and Victoria on stage talking
about their charitable journeys was
humbling and very special.”
