Apple Martin 'more polite' than Chris

Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter Apple has been deemed "more polite" than her father Chris Martin.

Shop assistants in New York accused the Coldplay singer of being rude while the toddler impressed them with her outgoing nature.

PageSix reports that the pair were looking around the Ink Pad boutique on a recent visit to the city when the three-year-old began chatting to people nearby.

An onlooker said: "She was so cute, speaking a mile a minute and telling the clerk that her dad was taking her to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks [movie]."

But her father did not receive such glowing praise, with the source adding: "He wasn't polite to the staff at all."
