Tara Palmer-Tomkinson
- Profession: Socialite
- Place/Date of Birth: Hampshire, 23 December 2020
Michelle Mone has all the top celeb women queuing up to be the new face (a-hem) of Ultimo Bra’s, now that Rod Stewarts girlfriend penny Lancaster has stepped down. Tara PT was one of the women asking for the £200,000 modeling contract, along with Martine McCutcheon, Emma Bunton, Nell McAndrew, Tracy Shaw and glamour model Victoria Silvstedt.
But Michelle apparently wants ’someone who is world famous’, which means don’t expect to see our Tara strutting her stuff in an Ultimo sometime soon.
Tara the lecturer - 04/12/03
Tara’s lecture to school children on the perils of drug addiction did not have the effect that she had hoped for.
Tara PT had gone back to her old school in Dorset, Sherborne Girls School. She spoke for some time to the girls of the Lower and Upper Sixth about the terrible effect drugs can have on you, and how drugs have shaped her life. Towards the end of the lecture, Tara asked if there were any questions. After a minute a girl’s hand shot up.
’Where did you get your coat from?’ Naturally this wasn’t the type of question Tara was expecting, but never mind!
Tara lights up - 01/08/03
If you have accepted to be the new face of Nicorette (how can anyone be the ’face’ of a flesh coloured patch is beyond me), then you should possibly try that ’giving up smoking’ thing.
Our fave crazy, if not mental, Tara P-T has signed to represent Nicorette, yet was seen chuffing away in Selfridges café. The waitress had to ask her to move, as Tara was still sitting in the non-smoking section. Maybe she has part time amnesia as well, or just a severe case of denial.
Tara’s agent said ’It is quite wrong to say Tara is smoking again Every now and then she might have the occasional puff, but she is trying.’
C’mon, every now and again does not usually mean getting through 3 fags in 15 minutes now does it? But you never know on planet Tara.
Tara’s posh crisps - 18/06/06
Chelsea based socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson is the new ’posh’ face of Walkers crisps ads...
The socialite is taking over from Victoria Beckham, who starred in a TV campaign last year.
In one of the new commercials for Walkers Sensations - to be screened for the first time on Thursday - Gary Lineker poses as her chauffeur.
But he gets an earbashing when he tries to steal Tara’s crisps while driving her to a premiere.
The second advert will hit TV screens in July, when Tara will promote Walkers Sensations Oriental Crackers.
Tara, said: "I think the Walkers Sensations brand is a perfect fit for me, and I am happy to send myself up in a fun and glamorous commercial."
Tara’s Blue movies - 06/06/03

Tara made a comeback with an appearance on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! She won the nation’s hearts with her ditzy upper class ways and was soon a regular on our screens. She was given a behind the scenes show for the next series of I’m A Celeb, which she continues to present in her own inimitable style.
Although a classically trained concert pianist Tara is undoubtedly better known for her high profile relationships with the likes of Robbie Williams and Duncan James. She has also been linked to posh popstar James Blunt.
In 2006 Tara hit the headlines again - her nose had collapsed in response to her years of cocaine abuse. However, Tara underwent surgery to correct the problem and has since been working on a pop career. Rumour has it that she has been working closely with Louis Walsh to change her tabloid image and top the charts.
