PIPPA Middleton has a new gig!

The sexy sister of Kate Middleton has just taken on a new “green” job working for her ex-boyfriend George Percy, who runs a geothermal energy firm.

She is juggling the role with her two-days-a-week commitment to party planning firm Table Talk and editing an online magazine for her parents’ firm Party Pieces.

“Pip and George are really close friends so when he needed someone to help out with office stuff, she was the obvious person to ask. She’s enjoying getting stuck in to something new,” a source said.

George set up the business last year with mining magnate Algy Cluff, who owns gold mines in war-torn Sierra Leone, to find ways of turning hot water stored underground into heat and electricity.

Along with experts from Newcastle University, they are drilling boreholes in Co Durham, and Pippa is expected to help with lobbying for a new licensing system from the government so they can go into production. The job is a return to the Middleton family’s roots, as Pippa and sister Kate’s great-great-grandparents were Durham coal- miners.
