Paris Hilton buys London house

Paris Hilton has splashed out on a £2 million home in London.

The US socialite - who is in the UK promoting her TV series My British Best Friend - forked over the hefty sum for a stylish townhouse in Camden, reports the Daily Mirror.

Paris, who has often spoken of her love for the city and once said she would like to name her child London, apparently viewed the plush six-bedroom pad last week and soon decided to snap it up.

The hotel heiress - who is single following her split from Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden - has already hired decorators to help her add some bling to the house.

Paris's TV show sees 12 young hopefuls battling to become her official "British best friend". The contestants complete various tasks and at the end of each show the star dismisses the person she thinks is the least capable of being her new pal.
