Everyone knows that when a male celebrity leaves a venue alongside a woman, she must be identified by her hair colour and preferably be a "mystery".

So when Night Manager star Tom Hiddleston was seen exiting a London restaurant at the same time as one, the Sun was quick to label her his "mystery blonde..."

Lipscomb has written a number of books on Tudor England, as well as presenting history programmes on the BBC and Channel 5.
