McCartney is friends with Cheeky Girls?

Paul McCartney has reportedly made friends with The Cheeky Girls at his local gym in East Sussex.

Monica and Gabriela Irimia's mother said McCartney spoke to the girls about his training regime and asked for advice on stretching.

"The girls have met Sir Paul McCartney several times down their local gym in East Sussex," said Margit Irimia. "He has been utterly charming to them and they have seen him on the treadmill several times.

"They have given him some advice on his stretching exercises as they are trained ballerinas."

Margit was speaking at Gabriela's engagement party to MP Lembit Opik at London's Embassy Club.
