HE might be an A-list Hollywood film - but that hasn't stopped Glasgow's Lord Provost asking George Clooney for a date.

Sadie Docherty now faces an anxious wait to see if she'll have her invitation accepted or if she'll be stood up.

Mrs Docherty has asked the heartthrob if he and his wife will attend her Burns Supper in 2017 to give the Toast to the Lassies.

And she hopes his wife Amal will give the Reply.

The Lord Provost had the good fortune to meet George at the recent Scottish Business Awards in Edinburgh where he was the keynote speaker.

She took the opportunity to gift him a bottle of her special reserve whisky.

He also signed another bottle for her to auction at her forthcoming Burns Supper, which will be held at the Hilton Hotel on January 22.

Mrs Docherty said: “He was absolutely fantastic. I was very impressed. A lovely man.”

A long-time fan, the Lord Provost admitted she had watched him since his days in hospital drama ER.

She added: “I’ve got to be careful, because there might be a fall-out with my husband, but Saturday night with George was essential viewing.”

The Lord Provost also handed newly-wed Mr Clooney a letter formally inviting he and his wife, a renowned human rights lawyer, to her Burns Supper.

She also asked the couple to consider attending the 2017 event at which he and Amal could give the Toast to the Lassies and the Reply.

In the letter the Lord Provost’s explains how her Burns Supper, officially recognised as the largest in the world last year, brings together people from business, entertainment and politics across the city, and beyond, to celebrate the works of Robert Burns.
