Tamara Ecclestone reveals she lives in just FOUR of her 57 rooms: Once-wild heiress now snubs parties - and 'wasn't upset' by kidnap of Bernie's mother-in-law

As the midday sun warms the giant cashmere cushions in her daughter's nursery, one of the richest women in Britain, Tamara Ecclestone, is discussing why she has decided to give away a large portion of her £5 million designer-stuffed wardrobe to raise money for charity, writes LOUISE GANNON.


In light of all those Ecclestone billions and the bizarre criminal activity (from petrol bombs to kidnappings - more of which later) surrounding her family, however, Tamara's life seems less 'normal mum', more Dallas meets a Netflix drama. And then there is the sense of surreal from the moment you walk through the vast iron gates of Tamara Towers. 'There are definitely rooms I haven't been in for ages,' she says of her 57-room London pile. 'I don't use the swimming pool and I haven't been in the bowling alley for a long time. I generally just use four rooms. But I like to have the space for when people come round.'
