Dempster's Diary

Rachael Stirling and John Lycett-Green

What next for Diana Rigg's gorgeous actress daughter Rachael Stirling? This week she was cuddling her boyfriend, John Lycett-Green, at a theatre party, just as the final part of her controversial lesbian drama, Tipping the Velvet, was being shown on TV.

But she tells me: "All I've been offered so far are slasher movies or porn, so I'm not rushing into anything. I'll probably do more theatre."

Rachael was helping John, grandson of the late Poet Laureate, John Betjeman, as he worked as the DJ at the aftershow bash for Michael White's brilliant new musical Contact at the West End's Queen's Theatre.

John, who runs a company called Digitall, is a regular DJ at Mayfair's Buddah Bar, and a nightclub in Bristol. "He's a fantastic DJ. I am just his deck dolly," says Rachael, who was accompanied to the show by John's mother, Candida, a close friend of the Prince of Wales.
