The 'Saga holiday couple,' spotted in Marbella to Cliff Richard and Cilla Black

Barely two months after I reported that the group had been looking at acreages together in Miami, they have been spotted in Marbella. They were dining at Polo House, a club in Marbella which is managed over by James Hewitt, the bygone lover of the late Diana, Princess of Wales."Cilla and Cliff looked like a pair on a Saga holiday," whispers my man in the Ray Bans. "Cilla has a place here and Cliff was staying with her.
"They appeared together and left together. They invited James to dine with them and seemed to have a great time. The talk was mainly about wine and it ended up with Cliff saying that he would send James some bottles from his vineyard in Portugal."Cilla has in the past been linked to John Madejski, the Reading Football Club chairman, but she has affected herself uninterested in remarrying after Bobby Willis, her beloved husband and agent, died of lung cancer in 1999. Still, one wonders: the abrupt number of sightings of her with Sir Cliff makes it hard not to.In July the pair were to be found sitting together in animated conversation in the Royal Box at Wimbledon. On Barbados, where they both own villas, the islanders have accustomed become to seeing them out and about together.At a lunch in honour of the "Bachelor Boy" at the Dorchester last year, Cilla said that she had accomplished to get under Sir Cliff's blue duvet.She had explained that she had been appointed to "outdo" a friend of hers who had been photographed in his bath. Sir Cliff was not in either the bath or the bed.
