Nick Leslau: 'I'm rich, but does anyone like me?'


Insecurity led property millionaire Nick Leslau to spend 10 days posing as a social worker in a deprived area of Glasgow.

If Nick Leslau were still running a public company - as he was, aged only 23 - he would be a household name.

Rich man, poor man: Leslau was horrified by the deprivation he witnessed
Rich man, poor man: Leslau was horrified by the deprivation he witnessed

Some would love, some loathe this ebullient, outspoken man who comes across as business's answer to Boris Johnson - but we would all know about his part-ownership of the Saracens rugby club and the collection of sporting memorabilia that adorns his double-height office near Oxford Circus.

"I'm a sucker for toys," he says as I goggle at the glass-roofed space where W.G Grace's cricket bat vies with the bonnet of a Mini signed by the 2003 Rugby World Cup team, plus a poster of Muhammad Ali in his glory days.

By association, these possessions endorse the view that their owner is also "the greatest" - which, in his view, in the world of property he is. Prestbury Group, the private company of which he is chair and chief executive, has assets of £3 billion, including hotels, hospitals, Madame Tussauds and Alton Towers.

Ryan Seacrest

Ryan Seacrest - American: Not Idle.

To Britney and Paris, he's a shoulder to cry on. To Larry King, he's a friend. But to his on-screen sparring partner Simon Cowell, he's a 'little Chihuahua' - albeit one with plans to take over the world. Nicole Laporte meets Ryan Seacrest.


'We get in here in the fives,' Ryan Seacrest says, by way of explaining why, at eight o'clock on a Tuesday morning his faux hawk hairstyle is sculpted to Tintin-like perfection - despite the threatening presence of big, black headphones - and his hazel eyes are darting and alert. Seacrest, best known as the spritely, Simon Cowell-baiting host of American Idol - the US adaptation of Pop Idol - is referring to the hour he began work at his weekday radio show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, on Los Angeles' KIIS-FM (which has been broadcast in Britain under the name The Entertainment Edge). The show, a potpourri of pop singles and celebrity dish, is one of a growing number of Seacrest's non-Idol duties that are making him one of the most unavoidable and unstoppable personality-cum-businessmen of the 21st century....

Prince Charles

The Prince of Wales: 'If that is the future, count me out'.

The Daily Telegraph today publishers a big exclusive interview with Prince Charles. In his most outspoken interview yet, the Prince of Wales attacks the 'disasters' of industrial farming.


As I follow signs to the castle, doubts begin to stir. This doesn't look right. The road, such as it is, seems more like a lane to a dairy farm. Have I gone wrong? Why don't hire cars have sat-nav?

In a career littered with embarrassing moments, missing an appointment with HRH The Prince of Wales will be right up there in my premier division of professional blunders.

Calm down, Randall. This isn't The Mall, it's Caithness, the bit of mainland Britain that's so far north its residents regard Inverness as "doon sooth". The terrain, as the travel brochure says, is "an unspoilt land".

Just as irritation is turning to panic, my destination - the Castle of Mey - emerges on a grey skyline. It possesses neither the grandeur of Buckingham Palace nor the well-groomed estates of Sandringham and Balmoral. ....
