This is Somerset

Supermodel Kate Moss missed out on her beauty sleep after spending the night partying – with a band of gipsies in Somerset.

Kate, 35, sang and danced 'around the clock' with the travellers at their makeshift camp in Shepton Mallet.

The multi-millionaire huddled among the bearded itinerants for hours of 'hippy-style' singing, drinking and dancing.

She joined the 20-strong group last Monday evening ahead of a glamorous photoshoot on the site of nearby Glastonbury Festival the following day.

But Kate shunned local hotels and 'slummed it' with the gipsies.

Kate stayed in a designer campervan, while her crew's fleet of expensive Range Rovers joined the traveller's horse-drawn carts and teepees.

But the night obviously took its toll.

The following morning she headed out with a pal for a hair of the dog – still dressed in her pyjamas.

Kate sunk a quick pint of Guinness at the Highwayman Inn in Shepton Mallet, before heading off with a convoy for the shoot.

Onlookers said Kate, who is dating The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, was 'glamping' – camping’s more glamorous cousin.

One said: "No one could believe it when they saw a glamorous woman like Kate Moss slumming it with a bunch travellers.

“She certainly seemed to be enjoying herself at the hippy-style event, and it was clear that she could more than hold her own.

"But let’s not forget that she was glamping – she was still living in the lap of luxury in her own campervan."
