Lucky lady ... Victoria with Neil and Chris

'I WAS lucky enough to be the only journalist invited to see the PET SHOP BOYS perform an exclusive gig with pals including ROBBIE WILLIAMS on Monday.
NEIL TENNANT and CHRIS LOWE gave a storming 90-minute set with an all-star cast at the Mermaid Theatre in London.
The legendary duo proved It's A Sin to have been off the stage so long as they belted out their pop classics backed by the 60-piece BBC Concert Orchestra.
The lads also performed tunes from their forthcoming album Fundamental before Robbie took to the stage to sing Jealousy - the first song Neil and Chris penned together.


Crowd pleaser ... Robbie

Neil told me at the aftershow party: 'I thought Robbie did a brilliant job. I loved the way he phrased the lyrics.'
Robbie was equally complimentary. Talking backstage at the Radio 2 concert, he told how honoured he felt and what a huge fan he was of the duo.


In full flow ... Neil

Fellow fan SIR ELTON JOHN turned up to soak up the atmosphere with the 600-strong audience, who were also treated to performances by Canadian singer RUFUS WAINWRIGHT and actress/singer FRANCES BARBER. TREVOR HORN, behind FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD hits like Relax, played bass. Hear the gig on Radio 2 on May 27 at 9pm.'
