I'M A CELEB-LADY
A VERY British Scandal viewers were left gobsmacked after discovering the Duchess’s surprise connection to a rather familiar face.
The BBC drama is based on the true story of the Duchess of Argyll, who was accused by her husband of cheating on him with 88 different men in 1963.

Margaret Campbell was the daughter of a self-made millionaire and famous for being an “it girl” before her second marriage to Ian Campbell in 1951.
Ian was the 11th Duke Of Argyll, inheriting the dukedom from his first cousin once removed, Niall Diarmid Campbell, in 1949.
He had been married twice before he and Margaret tied the knot.
His first marriage was to Jeanne Campbell, with whom he had two sons - including Lord Colin Campbell, who went on to briefly Lady C, from 1974 to 1975.
And fans of the show were stunned to learn that the controversial former I’m a Celebrity and Celebs Go Dating contestant was connected to the family.
Alongside an open-mouthed emoji, one viewer tweeted: “Just discovered that Margaret’s younger stepson was Lord Colin Campbell who very briefly married Georgie Ziadie - aka Lady Colin Campbell.

Someone else said: “Just reading up on tonight’s A Very British Scandal and found out that the Duke’s younger song went on to marry Lady Colin Campbell.”
A third penned: "The Duke’s younger son ended up with none other than Lady C - you really couldn’t make it up.”
Lady C came to the attention of reality TV fans in 2015 when she took part in I'm A Celebrity, and made quite a stir while in the Australian jungle.
She then took part in Celebs Go Dating in 2019 and also had her own documentary entitled Lady C and the Castle on ITV.
The finale of A Very British Scandal will be shown on Tuesday, December 28, on BBC One.
