Mid-August means the mass migration of London’s glossy set to the party isle of choice. After several rocky summers, Ibiza’s Aena airport recorded 1,601,193 arrivals leading up to June.

A game of beer pong played with Margot Robbie, Eiza González and Jess Glynne gives a hint.

Winstone is jetting off to Ibiza today.
