Although Demi Moore is often referred to as the original cougar, she's just one of a whole host of female stars who have bagged themselves a toyboy lover.
TOWIE star Lauren Pope is the latest celeb to get tongues wagging after she was spotted leaving a star-studded bash with Tom Daley – 11 years her junior.
The 29-year-old model and 18-year-old Olympic diving star held hands as they exited Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am’s party at posh One Marylebone on Sunday night.
And it seems Lauren was hoping to head off home for a naughty game of cards with the Olympic medallist.
She took to Twitter during the night to write: “Strip poker anyone??”
