Long before becoming a Real Housewives of Cheshire star, Ampika Pickston was already part of the "it" crowd, as she partied with the who's who in the entertainment industry. The beauty salon owner of Opium dishes on how it is to party with Elton John and Hollywood's A-Listers.
“At the parties here you’ll often see a naked person or sexual acts being encountered between two people,” the 32-year-old divorcee told Heat World. “You would be very, very surprised between who they were! Men do try and chat me up but more so in London when I’ve been to Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball.”
Yes, everyone. It turns out Ampika’s been attending Elton’s infamous balls – which raise money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation – for the past four years and she’s had some A-list admirers trying to win her over.
“The people there that I’ve met are unbelievable. They are at the top of their game and I can’t name names but on two occasions of being there I have met two Hollywood people who asked for my number.
“Being the ambitious lady that I am I will never be a notch on somebody else’s bedpost. I don’t really want to shatter anyone’s A-lister Hollywood ego…”
“His parties are unbelievable,” Ampika added. “They’re on a different scale. There are celebrities everywhere you look.
“One minute you’ve got Yasmin Le Bon on one side and there is Eva Herzigova on the left side of you. Then you walk down the stairs and there is Sandra Bullock and you go back up the stairs and there is Uma Thurman, it is just unbelievable.”
