Police responded to a two-vehicle collision in Stret Ewyn, Newquay around 9.20pm on Friday.

Mathews, of Hilgrove Mews, Newquay, allegedly smashed her yellow jeep into a parked vehicle just minutes after she left a book promotion event at the Teylu homeware and fashion shop in Nansleden.

The owner of the grey Ford Kuga that she allegedly struck contacted police, The Sun reported. Gaffer tape was also seen near the vehicle’s left rear wheel arch.

It is understood that Mathews was breathalysed at the scene and taken into custody on suspicion of drink-driving. She has since been charged and is scheduled to appear in court at the end of the month.

Mathews had advertised the book launch on her Instagram page in the build up to the event, which she called Cards, Margs & Menopause, in a nod to the Tarot reading, Margarita cocktail making and book signing that was taking place.

Organisers described her new book as a ‘no-holds-barred guide to menopause designed to entertain and empower women in equal measure. 

‘It’s full of Meg’s personal insights as well as the latest information and advice from a wide range of menopause and lifestyle experts.’

Mathews was one of the most recognisable faces in the Nineties party scene, courtesy of her relationship with Mr Gallagher and famous pals including Kate Moss, as part of the infamous ‘Primrose Hill Set’.

Her four-year marriage to Noel ended in 2001 but the pair continue to co-parent daughter Anaïs, 23.

She moved to Cornwall in 2021 and has supported a number of local charities, including Surfers Against Sewage.
