If you've got your hands on the October issue of GLAMOUR, you'll have clocked our cover girl: the star of Doctor Who and now ITV's Poldark- beating hit Victoria , Ms Jenna Coleman.

To celebrate her cover, GLAMOUR threw a fabulous dinner in her honour at the Notting Hill restaurant Farmacy (very snazzy), where she was joined by her Victoria co-stars Tom Hughes (Prince Albert), Jordan Waller (Lord Alfred Paget) and Margaret Clunie (Duchess of Sutherland), as well as a cherry picking of her closest team.

What we ate: loads, in short. Beautiful coconut curries, falafels and avocado bowls, then exquisite sundaes and raw chocolate torte.

What we drank: Clean Queen cocktails, wine, and beers for Tom.

How we felt the following morning: magnificently terrible. But what a super evening.

Here's our cover girl! It's Jenna Coleman with Victoria castmates Margaret Clunie, Tom Hughes and Jordan Waller.

Fit for a queen: Jenna and Tom casually hanging out in front of a massive blown-up picture of her face. Nothing unusual here. Just carry on as normal.

Our drinks beforehand: wine, more wine, and Clean Queen cocktails.

How beautiful was the table setting! Margaret and Jordan were pretty keen on the candlesticks. As were we all, in fact. Also, absolutely cracking floral effort.

Jenna and GLAMOUR's Editor-in-chief Jo Elvin get to grips with the opening shot "injection" - just squirt it into your mouth (or shot glass if you're wearing white, it's safest), NBD.

At about this moment in time, Tom was talking about how he had to lose two stone for a film part. How? Where was there two stone hiding? Does he have particularly plump ankles?

GLAMOUR's Social Media Editor, Kat Brown, telling yet another inappropriate anecdote to Jordan. He seemed totally okay with it, like a trooper.

Jenna's publicist Pippa Beng keeps a sensible eye on what her client's signing - luckily, it's just her GLAMOUR cover and nothing binding.

Oh, lovely Tom.

Another ridiculously gorgeous picture of Margaret, who could probably even look charming in her passport pictures.

Pre-pudding lols with Jordan, Margaret, Tom and Jenna's publicist Sarah-Jayne Dines. FYI, the raw chocolate tart with coconut "nice cream" was to die.

Some lovely goodies from the boys' goodie bags...

...And lovely Liz Earle goodness for the girls.

A Prince and two Queens (we have to say that, she's our boss). Tom, Jo and Jenna, saying goodbye to a wonderful GLAMOUR dinner.
