Danny Cipriani on bench as Kelly Brook has night out with richest man

Can there be a better way to celebrate turning 50 than a night out with Kelly Brook?

And so it was that Eric Watson, regarded as one of New Zealand's richest men, took the model, actress and near full-time bikini-wearer for a turn about town last night. What she saw in the businessman with a fortune estimated at £200 million is not clear.

Ms Brook, 29, who is dating England rugby star Danny Cipriani, dined with Mr Watson at Zuma restaurant in Knightsbridge before moving on to a casino and, inevitably, Annabel's nightclub.

Mr Watson, who turned 50 earlier this month with an extravagant Thirties-themed party at Istanbul's Sirkeci station — the original home of the Orient Express — is famous for a previous appearance at Zuma in 2002.

On that occasion Mr Watson, owner of the New Zealand Warriors rugby club, traded blows with actor Russell Crowe in an argument over the sport.

Keith, I don't think you understand the media very well. Kelly was able to push Britains Got Talent off the front pages the day after the first programme because she was on a beach and quite rightly too!

Cipriani isn't even on the bench for the British Lions so why is this duy making the papers almost every day?
