London - Rebekah Wade has been arrested for a series of sartorial horrors involving some truly horrendous hacking jackets.
A series of disgraceful equestrian haute couture faux pas has seen the wife of ex-National Hunt trainer Charlie Brooks hauled over the coals for her nasty tweeds.
The former jumps champion trainer was staying tight lipped about today's developments at the couple's Suny Bay Funny Farm home, named after his 1998 Grand National runner-up.
But a shopping pal who 'knows Rebekah's tastes' said today there was nothing wrong with her Harris tweed riding gear with its classic slanting pockets and amusing rear vents.
"Hacking is about getting on your high whorse and going out in public," Daisy Dogstooth told QM NewsCorpse reporters at lunchtime.
"You need rough and ready mannish attire to complement those perfectly groomed copper curls."
Style cops are having none of this nonsense, of course, and claim the arrest is over something else.
"Think Sunni - as in Islam - and Bey - as in Turkish Ottoman tribal warlord and you'll soon get the picture," a Women's Wear-N-Tear Daily source commented.
Lester Piggot is 104.
