EMILY PRESCOTT: Scandal-hit hedge fund manager Crispin Odey, 64, heads to favourite hangout with his glamorous wife
Where’s the best place to find hedge fund manager Crispin Odey when a scandal hits? Celebrity hangout Scott’s, of course!
The multi-millionaire has recently had his name removed from his £3.5billion hedge fund over accusations of sexual misconduct, but he still found something to smile about when he visited the posh Mayfair restaurant with his wife Diana Vitkova, 38, last week.

Odey was spotted outside Scott’s when his fund suffered huge losses in 2015 and the arch-Brexiteer was seen lunching there with Jacob Rees-Mogg during the parliamentary chaos before Boris Johnson called an Election in 2019.
Last September, I revealed that old Harrovian Odey would marry Vitkova just months after his split from ex-wife Nichola Pease in what was dubbed one of Britain’s most expensive divorce cases.
Odey, 64, and Pease, who were married for 30 years from 1991, were known as the ‘Posh and Becks of the City’, owing to their shared worth – estimated at £825million.
It’s a plumb venue!
Plumbers founder Charlie Mullins, 70, and his fiancée Rachel Leavesley, 31
Plumbers founder Charlie Mullins is such a romantic – he has booked St Paul’s Cathedral for his wedding to singer Rachel Leavesley, both right, because it ‘could be his last one’.
Multi-millionaire Charlie, 70, who has been married twice before, is allowed to use a chapel at the historic venue because he was awarded the OBE in 2015 for services to plumbing. His first marriage to Lynda ended in a £12 million divorce settlement after 41 years. His next marriage to Julia, an employee, lasted just four years, though Charlie told us that divorce ‘only cost a couple mil’. Bargain!
