We have worked with
that many famous names here at Team Fake Bake, we often lose count of
them all. But some we can call absolute friends, people who are just so lovely,
down-to-earth and inspiring that we stay in their lives. Josie Gibson is
definitely in our Golden Circle. Josie first captured our hearts when she won Big
Brother 2010, and since then she has stayed in the public eye because
women, girls (and guys!) everywhere really relate to her. She’s been open about
her life in a way that lets us all feel better about feeling the same - and
that sharp sense of humour has taken her everywhere, from The Wright Stuff to
The Jump.
We have always enjoyed
getting Josie ready for red carpet events and she is always more than
happy to share before and after images. But once she hits the limelight she
always looks hot. Fact.
When we heard Josie
and her amazing partner, Terry, were expecting we stepped in to help
organise her Baby Shower. With the help of the team at Piccolino Heddon Street, we packed our spray guns, tan tents, and highest heels ready
for a day filled with laughter.
Knowing Josie as we do, we knew there
was no chance of quiet pots of tea and fancy cakes, sitting in a corner. Not a
chance. The music was turned up, the shoes came off, and the guests let their
hair down. Some of our fave celebs and bloggers joined Team Fake Bake
for a memorable day of tanning with no tantrums. What can we say. We only
invite the nicest names, including Ashley Louise James and Pink Tartan
Dolly.
Our very own
Victoria Halliday told us, “As a brand, Fake Bake have worked with Josie
for eight years now. Over that time, I have also got to know her really
well, and we see her as family. She’s such a warm person, brilliant fun to be
around, and the day was fabulous. We know that Josie is going to be a fantastic
mum.”
Little did we know that
the Baby Shower would make headline news. Josie took on the
gorgeous Debbie Bright and her daughter, Lydia, in a dance off and let’s
just say they gave it everything they had. As Josie admitted later - twerking
at nine months ‘preggers’ isn't always the best idea. But we like to think it
helped, as Josie’s waters broke straight after, and later on in the week she
gave birth to Reggie-James at Royal United Hospital, Bath.
In a world of
picture-perfect celebs, Josie is always a breath of fresh air to us,
because she is one of us. She has her gorgeous days, talks candidly about her
not so fantastic moments, and always makes us smile with her Bristol banter.
We want to wish Josie
and Terry so many congratulations on the birth of Reggie-James and
say a huge thanks to every one who attended the Baby Shower, or as we
now call it, Waterbreak-Gate. A special thanks to Debbie and Lydia for
bringing a huge shot of glamour and warmth, as they always do.
Reggie-James, your world awaits and is ready for the
taking. Now we need to do a bit less twerking and a lot more working. It’s a
busy time up at HQ. We’ll keep you posted…..
Thanks to all the team at Club Individual and Piccolino Heddon Street for
helping us to organise Josie’s Baby Shower - it’s a gorgeous venue!
