MARTHA HAS A MUSICAL CURE

Now heading up the Government’s digital inclusion task force, the 36-year-old co-founder of website lastminute.com reveals: “At school I started a dating agency but that was more to find out who my friends fancied rather than for any business reasons.”

Since then Martha, who is the great-granddaughter of the sixth Marquess of Anglesey, has launched a chain of karaoke bars and is a non-executive director at Marks & Spencer and Channel 4 Television.

But she admits she is no Leona Lewis at karaoke. “I’m pretty bad she says. I like The Lovecats by The Curebecause it doesn’t matter if you sound off key.”
