| Elle Macpherson in hot bikini |
Elle Macpherson, veteran of bikini shots that reduce mortal women to tears, has been pictured in Ibiza.
At 48, she is still as annoyingly sun-kissed and leggy as ever, in that straw cowboy hat she must have been born wearing.
But hang on — one thing has changed this year.
Who is that rather uncomfortable-looking bald chap she is canoodling with so enthusiastically? A music mogul? A Hollywood titan? Well, no — he’s rather more controversial than that.
The Body’s new man is one of the big beasts of the City pages, the banker who saved Barclays and is known as Roger the Dodger. Or should we say tax avoider?

Roger Jenkins, 56, said to be worth £300 million, is a Scottish-born hard-nut who was at one time the highest paid man at Barclays when he ran their legal but much-criticised tax avoidance division.
Before he left in 2009, his pay packet was big news because, on a rumoured £40 million a year, he pocketed more even than his old boss at Barclays Capital, Bob Diamond of Libor fame.
They look like an odd couple, she so girlish and frisky, he as dour as a tax return. But on closer examination, this new couple make perfect sense.
Not only is he very rich like all Elle’s boyfriends (self-made women don’t trust those without) but he also has extraordinary athletic stamina and a known taste for strong, glamorous women.
