Polo, the Viking way, for Ellis-Bextor

Freddie Fox, who played Rupert Everett’s lover in The Judas Kiss, joined pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor and presenter Zoe Hardman at the Audi Royal Polo Challenge in Chester.

The Murder on the Dancefloor singer is recording her fifth album with Ed Harcourt, who uses Norse mythology to inspire her. “Imagine you’re on the fields of Valhalla,” he told Ellis-Bextor. “I’m your berserker, you’re the Ice Queen. We go on the battlefield and, like, destroy everything. Think about that while you’re singing”.

This advice might come in handy on the polo field.
