He’s been convicted for fraud

The Portland Place mansion where Bonnie Blue claims she completed her stunt is owned by Lord Davenport, 58 – dubbed Fast Eddie. The location is notorious for having the police called on it a lot after out of hand sex parties. Lord Davenport posted a video on Instagram of him leading Bonnie Blue into the space before the claim of her stunt.

Last year police tried to shut the mansion down, but Lord Davenport successfully contested it and won. Police have been called to the residence 63 times – including for two reported rapes.

‘Only beautiful people come’

One party was said to have 300 attendees and guests could only get an invite if recommended by a previous attendant. Entry cost £80, and Davenport said of the event “Only beautiful people come, only beautiful people are allowed in. Money is no object to these people.”

Lord Davenport mad this name in the 80s, when he was just 20, after hosting a raucous posho party called the Gatcrashers Ball attended by posh teenagers. In 2011, he was jailed for seven years for running a finance company called Gresham where he conned clients out of sums up to £285,000 in loans they never received.

Clients included Elizabeth Emanuel, Princess Diana’s wedding dress designer, who through the fault of Lord Davenport lost her entire life savings.

The judge proceeding over the trial deemed Lord Davenport a ‘very, very dishonest man’ over the £34.5 million fraud – however, due to illness he only served three years of his sentence.

The mansion has been used for a lot of filming

Scenes from The King’s Speech were filmed there, as well as the Amy Winehouse music video for Rehab. Davenport goes by Lord after the manorial title that he purchased.

Lord Davenport on Instagram has a picture of himself holding a gun, and declares himself as an “infamous party host”.
