Jorgie Porter from Hollyoaks to Dancing on Ice superstar

At 5 foot 1 inch, Jorgie Porter is a right bundle of hyper activity. Her form is perfect, as is everything about her. Hard as it is to believe, things didn’t always seem so perfect for thee Hollyoaks’ star. She’s had her share of drama and insecurities just like us mere mortals.

Jorgie Porter

At 16, Jorgie left home to attend Chester ballet school on a scholarship. Like most teenagers, she had a lot of puppy fat and was made fun of. So every day before a six hour dance class, she would run as much as three miles. If being bugger than other girls wasn’t enough, Jorgie had it much harder as she wasn’t as rich. “I had holes in my tights, my ballet shoes weren’t clean enough. And I had this really Manc accent.” Although she had a close knit group of friends, Jorgie was usually singles out and made fun of. ‘Pizza face’ and ‘Sweaty Betty’ were amongst the nicknames she was called during her teenage years. We’re guessing the bullies feel pretty bad about it now.
After graduating, Jorgie and a couple of girls who were with her in college moved to Greece. They worked as hotel entertainers, performing in a dance troupe. Soon the girl realized they were encouraged to “get off with the hotel managers” and decided it was the end of working there.

Luckily enough, as soon as she got back to the UK in 2008, her agent told her to audition for Hollyoaks. Since then, Jorgie Porter has been recognized world wide as the jail bait teen temptress, Theresa McQueen and things have never been the same. Soon, she was on the cover of magazines, being followed around by the paparazzi and she was making tons more money than she had imagined.
With all her confidence issues gone, Jorgie now focuses solely on her career and love life. She is dating James Atherton, 24, who also plays her on screen lover, Will Savage.
Once she started Dancing On Ice, Jorgie has gone from the darling of the lads to gaining a female audience. Although according to her, she’s a “girl’s girl” and much prefers women’s company to that of men.
As this year’s celebrity daredevil, Porter has been learning difficult lifts in her training with Matt Evers. Her “special skill” is known to be her fearlessness on the ice. Porter has admitted to being petrified of something going wrong on the rink. Be it falling over, not being on time with the music, or even accidentally hitting Matt in the privates with her skates. During the last week of February, her fear became a reality when Jorgie accidently slashed her partner’s face with her skate during a practice session. This happened when practicing a move called the “neck spin” which required Jorgie to wrap her legs around Matt’s neck. The cut was between Matt’s eyes and required several stitches. However, this did not dishearten either of the dancers and after Matt’s speedy recovery, he tweeted stating “we won’t let these things stop us.”
Although she loves her life at the moment, Jorgie admits to not wanting to stop acting, “acting is my first love. That’s what I want to do. But I’m having the time of my life at the moment and I don’t want it to end.”

Big Fat Gipsy Wedding: is it a trend here to stay?

The show ‘My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding’ has been a great success in the UK. Not only has it captured the UK audience, but it has managed to dominate itself in the American media as well. The show is essentially about travellers and gypsies from Britain.

The interesting thing about the show is that it is not only just something that has dominated itself on television. The theme of a big fat gipsy is now being used in weddings very commonly as well.
The show itself featured a very remarkable wedding dress that most people couldn’t resist to take a look at. The show had a wedding dress in it which was decorated with a lot of lights. The dress also featured butterflies which were made of fabric, and they moved too! Though it might not be something that most brides would want to wear to their wedding, it was something that captured people’s eye. Though brides don’t come up with the same dress as seen in the show, some brides come up with better, tasteful ideas for their wedding
dresses, inspired from ‘My Big Fat Gipsy Wedding’.

Wedding Favours

The show also highlighted that the normal age the characters got married at were 16 or 17. However, this might not be so true in today’s time. People tend to get married later on in life and they plan on settling down once they feel that they are financially stable enough to grow together as a family.

The show is of particular interest to those people who are utterly fascinated with weddings. The show has a lot of entertainment to offer these kinds of viewers. The gowns of the show, that the brides wear on their wedding day, will be of the highest order of entertainment that one can experience. Many of the dresses that have been featured in the show have been said to weight over 70 pounds. These dresses left most brides injured after the ceremony was over and done with! The excess use of wedding jewellery, long veils and massive skirts on the dresses, along with the gigantic tiara are all part and parcel of the entertainment that the show has to offer. Though brides in real life are not going to go to the same extent as the show, they may draw some inspiration from it when it comes to planning a theme for their wedding and picking out jewelry for the big day.

Wedding Favours

‘My Big Fat Gipsy Wedding’ seems like it’s a show that is here to stay. People thoroughly enjoy themselves when it comes to watching the show and seeing what entertainment every episode has to offer.
When it comes to using the show as a theme for a wedding in real life, it is not as preferred as you might think. The theme might be a little over the top if its details are followed to the tee, but people might like to take some ideas from the show and use them as their own!

Celebrities Wedding in 2012

Everyoneloves the tabloids. So here are some of Hollywood’s rumored couples.

Snooki from jersey Shore has been seen wearing a pink square-cute diamond clarifying rumors that had been spread earlier this week of Jionni LaValle popping the question. At 24, Snooki is already expecting her first child with her boyfriend. Earlier this year, Snooki had told People Magazine “I know he’s the one so I know the ring’s gonna come soon.”

Natalie Portman sent the gossip columns wild when she walked down the red carpet at the Academy Awards with her boyfriend Benjamin Millepied. The shock was when she was seen wearing a wedding band set. Rumors started spreading about her getting married on the sly. Looking stunning in a red, vintage Dior gown, the attention was less on her dress and more on herbfinger. Everyone knows Portman keeps her private life on the down low, but the press was at least expecting a picture of her wedding gown.

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake decided to take their relationship to the next step when they got engaged. They have yet to announce wedding dates but the press is going crazy trying to figure out the next move for the gorgeous couple. Insiders have let leak that the wedding will take place at a private estate in the summer. They’ve opted for a small, secret
wedding with no press. Big shock there! Biel has been said to have her eye on Monique Lhuilier, one of the premiere designers for A- listers. Another source said the ring had a vintage look to it, “wasn’t huge” and “might have been custom made.”

Rumor has it that Halle Berry and Oliver Martinez are to tie the knot sometime this year. Berry’s daughter Nahla is said to be happy with her mother’s choice of a husband. Nahla and Martinez get along extremely well and the little girl will no doubt be happy with her new family.

After a child and a rollercoaster ride of a relationship, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disik have finally decided to make it official this year. After her sister’s 72 day wedding, Kourtney may have had a bad taste in her mouth about marriage, but has decided with her beau, it’s totally worth the risk. If they’ve been together this long, might as well make it official with a ring and vows.

Being married twice before, one would think Drew Barrymore wouldn’t be walking down the aisle yet. But with Will Kopelman, she’s decided settling down is the best option. We couldn’t be happier finally seeing a ring on Drew’s finger. This one seems like the real thing, according to Barrymore.

Here’s a couple we thought we would never see taking the big step. After two kids, Vida and Levi, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves are going to tie the knot sometime this year.
Kate Hudson certainly has a thing for rock stars. Previously married to Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, she has been rumored to say “I do” to Matt Bellamy this year.

Last but not least is the ever famous, Britney Spears. Britney’s manager Jason Trawick popped the question last year and we couldn’t be happier. At least this time she knows she’s getting married to someone who cares about her more than he does about her bank account.

Permanent make up also known as micro pigmentation is responsible for generating a lot of hype especially in the tinsel town; the major argument in the favour of permanent make up is that it saves women the trouble and energy of applying makeup every day.
