Ziggy LichmanWell, well, so Ziggy Lichman had dinner with Paris Hilton when she was in Blighty.

Was it the start of something beautiful?

Nah, not quite. See, the Zigster wasn't alone, his BB8 pal Liam McGough joined him and of course Paris' beau Benji Madden was there too.

We caught up with Ziggy and Liam for an exclusive chat at Nikki Grahame's birthday at Embassy, and they told us some rather tasty morsels.

Chatting about their Paris dining experience, which went down at Gilgamesh in Camden, Liam said: "We had dinner with her, she was incredibly beautiful."

And, it seems, Ms Hilton knows what she wants.

Liam said: "She asked for things to be prepared before she got there you know, the food was on the table before she got there. But there wasn't much of it left by the time we were finished."Paris Hilton

Ziggy was also singing Ms Hilton's praises, but it wasn't his Paris natter that really stunned us, it was his reveal of what he's up to now.

He told us: "I am doing something a bit different, I'm training to be a cage fighter."

To get into shape for his cage action he's been running five miles every day and hitting the gym with a vengeance, and said his whole journey is being filmed as a TV documentary.

Seems the BB8 boys are an active bunch as Liam said he recently ran the London Marathon, finishing it in three hours and one minute.

Bravo.
