WUTHERING Heights star Margot Robbie would soak up views of the Yorkshire Dales from a bath while there for filming, a hotel owner has revealed.

Staff said the 35-year-old Aussie became a real “Yorkshire lass”, wearing wellies and a wax jacket — and pulling pints.

Margot, who plays Cathy Earnshaw in the tragedy, spent three weeks at 17th-century Simonstone Hall Hotel in Hawes, North Yorks, last year.

Other cast members also stayed including Jacob Elordi, 28, who plays brooding Heathcliff.

Barbie actress Margot was given the hotel’s best room, the luxury £300-a-night Langtry Suite.

Staff said she was obsessed with having a daily bath in its free-standing tub by a large window so she could enjoy the view.

Hotel owner Jake Dinsdale told The Sun on Sunday: “Margot was absolutely lovely.

“She was very down-to-earth — a real Yorkshire lass at heart.

“Margot is effortlessly beautiful and even looked good in wellies and a wax jacket.”

He added: “I’ve got an old school Land Rover and she asked me to drive her to the set in it a couple of times.”

Jake said Margot had a go at pulling a pint of Simonstone Ale.

He added: “There were a few wild nights, drinking negronis and martinis, or hanging out in the hot tub or by the fire.

“But on weekends it was always very relaxed.

“Margot had a Sunday roast in the restaurant and enjoyed our afternoon tea.”

Filming took place in the Yorkshire Dales National Park 30 miles from Haworth, West Yorks, where Wuthering Heights author Emily Bronte grew up.

Margot returned in the summer for a break with producer husband Tom Ackerley and their baby son.

They visited Hardraw Force, England’s highest single drop waterfall — where Tom, 35, had a dip to recreate a scene in 1991 film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Custodian of the falls Mark Thompson said: “I remember Margot saying how much she enjoyed Yorkshire and they bought a photo of the falls from the gift shop.”

Wuthering Heights was released in cinemas on Friday.

GORDON Ramsay has opened up about his childhood – revealing he was so poor he ate toothpaste and didn’t have food for days.

On Wednesday his new six-part Netflix documentary Being Gordon Ramsay airs, detailing his efforts to launch his latest ambitious project.

Britain’s highest eaterie, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High is on the 60th floor of skyscraper 22 Bishopsgate in the City of London.

Having trained under Marco Pierre White, aged 35 he set up his first eponymous restaurant, winning three coveted Michelin stars shortly after.

He now has eateries all across the globe, and is arguably the planet’s most famous chef.

His work ethic is relentless – possibly a result of his humble upbringing.

KITCHEN CLOSING

In one episode, Gordon gets emotional recalling his own childhood struggles, growing up on a council estate in Glasgow.

Relying on food vouchers at school to eat, he speaks powerfully on the embarrassment of being desperately poor.

Today, he has teamed up with a fantastic charity, Feeding Britain, to tackle child poverty. The aim is to provide Britain’s 800,000 kids in poverty with affordable food.

Gordon has quietly and personally donated “very heavily” to the cause.
Shockingly Gordon recalls: “I was hungry all the time, there was no food in the house.

“I was sometimes too embarrassed to use my vouchers to get mt free shepherds pie in case, you know, aged 15 or 16, a girl I fancied saw me.

”I was a skinny f***ing bean. I remember eating toothpaste thinking that was delicious because there were multiple nights where we never ate.

“It is appalling that we’re in this situation now. It’s disgusting, an embarrassment. The system’s dysfunctional.”

While Gordon’s father, who died from a heart attack aged 53, was an alcoholic, his younger brother Ronnie is, tragically, a heroin addict.

Having gone for long swathes of time not speaking, he reveals the pair had  a reconciliation of sorts on the phone last week.

Becoming visibly emotional, Gordon recalls: “It was just sad because at the end of that call he said, ‘did I hear you ask for my bank details? I’ve got no electricity’.

“And so I said, ‘Come on, Ronnie, you know damn well if I knew that was going on electricity, I would. But I know full well that’s going to go on drugs.’
”’And it pains me, it kills me, mate.’ 

“We’ve been down this road so many times.”

Gordon’s new Netflix series will see the star put all his energy into his new project, 22 Bishopsgate.

Home to Britain’s tallest restaurant, its Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High, an intimate 12-seater chef’s table experience, has already earned him another Michelin star.

I’ve seen the show, and it’s brilliant, giving viewers a fly-on-the-wall look into Gordon’s frenetic and fabulous – he and Tana are parents to six kids – home life, as well as the sheer hell of getting a new business off the ground.

”I won’t watch it,” he smiles. “I never ever watch myself on telly because it’s just incredibly nerve-wracking.

“I think when you’ve done it and lived it, the last thing you want to do is sit there with lots of popcorn. There’s a level of embarrassment.”

Even without Gordon’s viewership, it is sure to be another Netflix smash.
