Tara Palmer Tomkinson took two carjackers for a drive after they tried to steal her luxurious vehicle. The 'I'm a Celebrity…' star was driving her BMW on Oxford Street in London when the teenage boys jumped into her car. Undeterred, the 33-year-old brunette didn't panic and took the would-be thieves for a spin instead. She is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I was driving down London's Oxford Street in my BMW convertible when two boys jumped in the car. "I simply said, 'Hello darlings, where are we going today?' It was a beautiful day so I took my pals Callum and Pete for a drive around Hyde Park. My goodness, they were so over-excited!" The stunning socialite revealed she even gave the boys cash to get a taxi home. She said: "They told me they were from 'da ghetto', so I stopped at a cash point and gave them 80 quid – well, a taxi back to the ghetto must be terribly expensive."
