Sachs, granddaughter 'reunited by Adam Ant'

Andrew Sachs has apparently patched things up with his granddaughter Georgina Baillie thanks to the intervention of Baillie's new boyfriend Adam Ant.

Sachs is said to have fallen out with Baillie after the infamous Manuelgate scandal, in which Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross left a series of messages on Sachs's answering machine revealing that Brand had slept with Baillie.

However, '80s popstar Ant - who has been dating Baillie for just over a month - wrote a letter to the former Fawlty Towers actor pleading with him to see his granddaughter again, and Sachs has now reportedly agreed to a meeting.

A source told The Mirror: "Georgina is elated her grandfather wants to see her again and hopes they can begin to put the past behind them and move on.

"It's all down to Adam. He was desperate to help and wrote a letter off his own back. He has a way with words. It was very personal and explained how much Georgina loved him and was sorry for any upset she had caused."

Baillie is also apparently planning to invite her grandfather to one of Ant's future gigs, at which she will perform with the 'Prince Charming' singer.

Last year, Baillie told DS that she still cannot stand the sight of Brand.
