The quick-witted Australian novelist Kathy Lette may once have turned down a date with George Clooney, but she's happy to let Lorne Spicer into her house. Kathy is now settled in a celebrity enclave in North London, where her neighbours include Stephen Fry and Ronni Ancona. Her auction items include dresses that belonged to her friends Dannii and Kylie Minogue. Kathy wants to fund drama workshops for the charity Kids' Company.
