For the man who sang Love is the Drug, age has never been much of a barrier to satisfying his addiction.

Bryan Ferry, 63, famously dated his backing singer Katie Turner six years ago when she was 21.

But his latest relationship has raised more eyebrows than usual - because 27-year-old Amanda Sheppard is one of his son's ex-girlfriends.

The pair have been seen out together in London, first at a party, and then at a nightclub.

Five years ago Miss Sheppard had a brief relationship with Isaac Ferry, 22, who hit the headlines last year when police questioned him over his ownership of a pistol-shaped cigarette lighter.

The young Ferry produced the lighter during a scuffle with a photographer.

The Mail understands Ferry senior and Miss Sheppard have been together for two months and look like remaining close for the immediate future.
