David Cameron splashes out on £8,000 luxury hot tub at his £2milllion coastal retreat
DAVID Cameron — mocked for telling of his love for “chillaxing” — has splashed out £8,000 on a hot tub for his coastal retreat.
The former PM chose a wood-fired, fresh water version that claims to be “authentic” and eco-friendly.
Its blurb says it is aimed at those who “believe the objects in your life must have a soul and a higher purpose”.
And it adds: “Great for parties or just you and a glass of wine.”
A neighbour of Mr Cameron, who quit after calling and losing the Brexit referendum, said: “Critics think he should be in hot water — but this is not what they had in mind.
“Dave can chillax to his heart’s content.”
The six-person, two-ton tub costs a basic £5,800 but the total is thought to have topped £8,000 when expenses such as transportation and installation are added.
Dave can chillax to his heart’s content in his brand new hot tub. Critics think he should be in hot water after Brexit gridlock, but this is not what they had in mind.

It sits at 52-year-old Mr Cameron’s £2million hideaway on a Cornish clifftop, near a house owned by TV chef Gordon Ramsay.
Alongside the tub is a £25,000 “shepherd’s hut” like the one he bought for his main Cotswolds home.
Holiday-loving Mr Cameron got that to write his memoirs in amid rumours he was struggling to knuckle down despite an £800,000 advance.
The tub could provide some extra inspiration for Mr Cameron, who has another pad in London’s Notting Hill. Maker Forestflame boasts it offers “the romance of the great outdoors” and is for customers who want to be “free of constraints”.
You can “rest your aching body” while you “luxuriate in the embrace of 40C water”.

Fussy buyers are also told: “If you’re enjoying the final moments of the sun’s ebbing rays on a warm summer evening, the last thing you need is the constant drone of a water pump.
“With a Forestflame hot tub, all you will hear is the faint crackle of the wood fire, the birds’ evening chorus and the bubbles popping in the top of your champagne flute.
“Peace at last!”
