Tory peer Zac Goldsmith and ‘Godiva’ protester take a break from saving the swift… for a swift coffee – just weeks after the multi-millionaire reportedly called off his close friendship with Ellie Goulding
An an environmentalist, Tory peer Zac Goldsmith has always had a keen interest in feathered friends.
And now, weeks after the multi-millionaire reportedly had his close friendship with singer Ellie Goulding called off, he has been spotted in a cosy chat with ‘naked swift’ activist Hannah Bourne-Taylor.
Former model Hannah, 37, who last year marched topless to 10 Downing Street as a ‘swift’ to draw attention to the plight of our birds, laughed with Lord Goldsmith over a coffee in West London.
Onlookers might be forgiven for thinking the ex-MP, 48, had moved swiftly on from his friendship with Starry Eyed singer Ellie, 36.

It was reported earlier this year that Ellie’s four-year marriage to art dealer Caspar Jopling, 31, was struggling and they were spending time apart.
They have a son aged two. But the couple are now said to be reconciling.
