William Banks-Blaney

William Banks-Blaney (born 20 December 1973) is an English interior designer.
Personal life
Featured in the Society pages of newspapers for a number of years, Banks-Blaney had his personal life brought into the public eye in October 2006, after details of his relationship with the Conservative MP Gregory Barker became public. Several months earlier, Barker and his heiress wife Celeste had separated amicably. In the fevered tabloid press coverage that followed, many false accusations were levelled at Banks-Blaney. However it was announced in early 2007 that Banks-Blaney, advised by solicitors Carter Ruck, had received damages from various national newspapers for false reporting. The Daily Mail has since reported that Banks-Blaney and Barker remain close and that Banks-Blaney is on good terms with the Barker family as a whole.
