Does anyone else receive those mystifying emails? The ones that read: "A-lister party at Aura... Join Xtina Aguilira getting Dirrrty!" Or, "Fashion party this Saturday, top catwalk moddels in their underwear... Dress to Imppress!" Or, "Nikita and Claudia are back from Ibiza. VIP guestlist. Cute crowd guranted!"

Those familiar with these missives may have noticed that many of these parties took place at the Penthouse, the kind of place where girls fantasised about meeting Scholes and Neville for a fantasy spitroast, and BB's Nicky might tout for business in her previous trade.

Thankfully someone with taste has taken it over - it was always an impressive site - transforming it into a nightclub deluxe. Skip past the bar and restaurant and head straight for the eighth floor Suite, a members' bar entered with personalised key cards.
