Billy Connolly's wife takes gal pals to Highland Games

BILLY Connolly's wife Pamela Stephenson took her gal pals to Highland games yesterday - while he was filming abroad.

The Big Yin was working in the Arctic Circle as his missus staged a girls' weekend at the Lonach Gathering near the couple's Highland home.

More than 20 friends - including telly presenters Ulrika Jonsson and June Sarpong - enjoyed the games in Strathdon.

Yesterday was the first time Connolly has missed the event since 1998. One local said: "It was disappointing Billy was away, but the girls were easier on the eye."
