Sometimes as
a brand, we work with certain companies or at events and have a ball. We are
really enjoying our Dancing On Ice
stint at the moment, and we love the team at ITV so much, we were more than
happy to be the Official Tanning Partner
at the National Television Awards for yet another year and, as a little
reward to some of our fave celebs and
hard working Team Fake Bake members, we also got to party stage side once
everyone was ready to tan and roll.
What is it
about these awards that gets everyone talking? They have been going a long time
now, and are getting more competitive as each year passes, and ITV do tend to
bring home a lot of the prizes. How can anyone in category with I’m A Celebrity or The Chase hold out
hopes of winning? There are always exceptions, though, and Strictly Come Dancing is hard to beat, and it was great to see Danny Dyer win for his role in Eastenders.
He really is the guv’nor.
We spotted
so many Fake Bake tans on the red carpet
and friends of the brand that it became impossible to count. Jess Wright and Gemma Collins looked
super glam, as always, and of course, it always feels like the real drama gets
saved for the main event: the after parties! But for Team Fake Bake there was a massive task to carry out first: to get
from Glasgow to London, in record time, and get everyone ready before they
could even think about posing for the cameras.
Our Fake Bake leading ladies Victoria and Emily
headed up the team, and these two are more than used to VIP tanning by now -
and they still kept everyone in good spirits, quelling nerves alongside our
fave hair and beauty experts, to make sure everyone was red carpet ready in
just a few hours. And we have to say, we are pretty proud of their work,
because everyone looked stunning by the time they got papped!
Our fabulous Victoria looked glam and glowing herself by the
time she got to clink glasses with Josie
Gibson, who we managed to prize away from her beautiful new son, Reggie
James, for one night only…
Love Island’s Ellie looked super-glam and major league
hot. Our team used loads of our finishing products to get that lovely skin
sheen. In January, you have to, it’s as simple as that…..
Our gorgeous
friend, Helen Flanagan, looked so
elegant and chic in her draped dress, updo and dazzling jewellery. She’s all
grown up now, and she suits it well….
What can we
say about Lydia Rose Bright? Our own
Essex Carrie Bradshaw, she always goes fashion forward and this year went
really bold with this gorge, backless dress. As always, her undone hair and
accessories were spot on. And that flawless back proves that sometimes, it
really is best to let a Fake Bake
pro loose with a spray gun…
Megan McKenna is never far from the headlines and
we cannot wait to see her on Celebs Go
Dating. She’s such an in demand girl right now with her music career, too,
and BTS she’s an absolute sweetheart. In front of the cameras? An absolute dream
and her Fake Bake tan is seamless…
Love Island’s Alexandra looked like a Hollywood movie star -
we couldn’t believe how absolutely beautiful she is in real life, and a dream
to tan…
We met Jake Quickenden properly on DOI last
year, and it was love at first sight. Jake went for a Fake Bake Darker spray tan and top-to-toe tailoring. What an
absolute sort…
We love
working with Love Island’s Laura
Anderson as, obviously, being from the same part of the world, we are so
proud of her success. She looked an absolute knockout, as always, and is always
our type on paper, or on the red carpet…
Once the
ceremony was underway, we settled in our stage-side box and really enjoyed the
sights and sounds of the show, Westlife being
a highlight for the girls. Everyone enjoyed their Fake Bake goodies and it was wonderful to relax and catch up with
some of our fave stars.
Power couple Josh Cuthbert and Chloe Lloyd both
opted for chic black and gave us all a lesson in class dressing. Every style
detail was on point. Swoon, literally.
Every year,
the media is filled with NTA After Show
stories and they are never happy until there has been an argument or at least a
bit of snarling going on. It must have been going on somewhere else, because we
had a drama-free time, but let’s just say, we were feeling it the next morning.
One of our best clients, Charlotte
Dawson, even managed to look chuffing gorgeous the next morning. Well,
lucky for Charlotte it’s her job to look this stunning the morning after and
not Team Fake Bake’s….
We had an
amazing night and it is a real reward for some of our team to see their efforts
take centre stage. It makes all of that hard work worth it. Will we be back
next year? Try stopping us. And we managed to get through a whole post there
without mentioning Holly Willoughby’s
dress. (It was fabulous, BTW!)
And while we
love hanging out with some really lovely people, who also happen to be famous,
it also reminds us of why we like being civilians. We get to mix with the real
influencers, movers and shakers, and on a freezing cold night, we don’t need to
walk a red carpet for a couple of hours.
And even
when we did nip out for a look, we didn’t bother taking our coats. We might not
be famous but we are from Glasgow. You don’t think a cold night in January
scares us, do you?
Good.
