I have been gripped to CBB this year. What horrors are the twins?? They are so mean and the way Nicola McClean has joined is just ruthless. I love Denise Welch so I hope she kicks their butts and beats them to the final.

Fosters Casting

2012-01-18T15:23:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Its been a lovely week with lots of exciting news.
One of my close friends gave birth to her first babygirl. She called her Harriet Lilly which I think is simply beautiful.
I also went down to London to cast as one of the Fosters babes for Fosters online Ad campaign. I had quite a laugh at the casting as I had to put on a Australian accent. I had Jack up all morning teaching me how to pronounce everything. As we'll as watching a lot of Youtube clips to try and nail the accent. Which I thought I did well.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
This week Versace are releasing a new spring collection for H&M again. I missed everything last time as it sold out within minutes. This time its online only so I'm hoping to find a few bits online.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
Ah I'm hating that Desperate scousewives has finished. It became my guilty pleasure every monday night. I hope the cast get a second series as they are still in the dark whether they do. But I'm routing that they do as I know how hard the have worked.

Lots of Love,

Hey Guys and Dolls,
2012 has kicked off to be a good one so far. I did a interview for Fighters Only Magazine this with which is going to be accompanied with a shoot I did for March Edition. Its really good spread so can't wait for it to be released.

Ringing in 2012

2012-01-04T06:35:00.000-08:00

Heys Guys and Dolls !!!
Happy New Year everyone, hope 2012 turns out to be one of the best for you all.
Mine was rather quiet as I ended up having to pull out of going to Las Vegas for personal reasons. I ended up just going for a nice curry and quiet drinks to celebrate it.
It was sad to see that Haydn Evans was tragically found. I really was hoping they would find him alive, Godbless to all his friends and family.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I've been starting to get Crystal Clear facials every fortnight. They're a bit pricey but I think they are well worth it. I never had trouble with my skin but lately its been really playing up,however these Crystal Clear treatments have really helped.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I've started a non card diet. All I've been eating for lunch and Tea is salads with either Fish or Chicken. I'm a little tired of not eating carbs but soon that should pass.

New Year New beginnings

2011-12-29T16:58:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls.
Well 2011 has certainly been a eventful one. Overall I would say a very productive and forward moving one for me Career,love and friendship wise.
It seems each year we get older and the years fly by more.
I was due to fly to Las Vegas today but sadly I haven't gone so instead I'm left twiddling my thumbs thinking of new year plans. To be fair I'm thinking of scrapping this year and just going and treating myself to a new pair of shoes.
Christmas was quite a quiet one aswell for me this year and I didn't get to spend much time with my family as I'd have liked to. Hope it was a better one for all you lot.

This week I'm loving !!!
I was however spoilt with lots of lovely gifts, I'm a huge Marilyn Monroe fan and I was given her boxset of films as a gift, which I've been addicted to.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I can't believe they haven't found the young lad who is missing for Mold. I really hope he is safe, Especially the time of year its happened. My heart goes out to all his Family and Friends and I hope he is found soon.

Lots of Love and wishes for 2012

Christmas Festivities !!!

2011-12-22T09:07:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!!
I'm so glad to be celebrating christmas this weekend. Its been pretty stressful as we had to travel to Ireland as my boyfriends Nana had passed away. Although ireland was so beautiful and was a lovely time spent out there.
I've had all my christmas presents prepared for weeks, I really can't wait to give my gifts I bought for everyone.

This week I'm loving !!!
I've ordered some jogging sweats and a coat from Victoria Secrets in America.
I really didn't think they would come in time, however I received them this week and I'm so happy with them. My mum also gave me a Celeb Boutique jacket for my christmas gift. It is absolutely beautiful.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
Its a shame I won't see my Brother,Mum or Dad over xmas as we are all in different parts of the country and world at the min. Then I fly to Las Vegas on the 29th for New Year. However I will see them in the New Year which matters the most.

Lots of Love,

Xfactor Fun

2011-12-15T03:10:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I have a feeling the snow is on its way....
I was glued to the TV Saturday night watching the XFactor, my nana hasn't been too well so I went round and sat with my aunty and cousin to watch the final. All the way through the series Marcus Collins and Little Mix were my favourite. I was torn on Sunday night which to vote for but I think in the long run Little Mix was right to win it. Marcus won't be shy of a long career after it either.
I also went for a fitting at KUSpendlove for my new years outfit and it is out of this world. Can't wait to wear it New Years Eve in Las Vegas.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I'm addicted to Channel Lip Glosses, I've got so many now and although they are all different colour they work well If you mix them on the back of you're hand with a lipstick brush to achieve unique individual colours.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I've started to go the gym, its like pain getting me up first thing to train. But once I'm there I'm ok. A few of my friends have been having a session each week with a personal trainer, which I might start to think about as I haven't got the will power sometimes when I'm there and give up to easy when it gets hard.

Lots of Love,

A week with Marilyn

2011-12-08T03:26:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I went to watch “A Week With Marilyn” this week, Marilyn is my absolute Classic Idol of all time. Her Timeless Beauty, Skills and personality just shone and I was really impressed how the actress Michelle Williams Portrayed it all on screen with every inch the sparkle. From and actresses point of view to be given a role to play such a iconic role must put so much pressure on you but she was astonishing in the film and I predict will be nominated for many awards this year.
I went shopping to Bicester Village also and got a beautiful pair of Jimmy Choo's, My first of I hope many, they are so comfy but unfortunately I've had to put them under the christmas tree.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I am really organised this year I have all my christmas presents purchased and all wrapped under my christmas tree at home. I've never been this organised before, I'm really excited for this years festivities though.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I've heard we are due for snow this week, I really hope we don't I'm such a grumpy girl when we get snow as I hate snow. I'm not good when its chilly outside.

Desperate Scousewives

2011-11-30T14:37:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I have to say over all the Desperate Scousewives saga that I was hooked. Fair enough its tongue and cheek banter but for fun cheesy tv you have to love it. There not trying to make a tv drama or anything serious that people should really calm down over it all. It was nice for me to watch people I know do something good for themselves. Given that they are receiving the amount of hate and death threats, I really don't think its needed and the people doing it need to see it for what it is FUN and take it with a pinch of salt. Its helping young people network around the city and give local businesses good media coverage. A all round clap on the back from me I say.
Given all the coverage from Towie and Desperate scousewives I ordered my New Years eve dress from Ku Spenlove, a local designer from Liverpool. I'm totally inlove with my outfit.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I went to watch Twilight this week at the pics. I was gripped all the way through, I am little gutted though as I'd only seen the first and then went the pics without watching New Moon and Eclipse but luckily I have caught up and watched them all this week.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
We tried to go and watch Dirty Dancing the musical at the weekend but it was fully booked in Manchester so hopefully we will get tickets for this week.

Lots of Love

Christmas Markets

2011-11-24T01:06:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Its all starting to feel all christmasy now :).
We went upto Manchester this week to the outside christmas markets. It was bitter cold and dark and just made me all excited for christmas. However we tried Mould wine for the first time and eeewwww it was horrendous.
The was lots of little unique little stands selling different foods so we came home with lots off food goodies and spent the night just watching the X Factor. I'm not to keen this year with the X Factor, the only really outstanding talent is Misha B I would say, but people don't seem to be warming to her. I'm excited to see who wins.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I've found my new years eve dress which I'm going to take to Las Vegas with me. Its by a Liverpool designer called Ku Spendlove. She has been dressing a lot of the Towie and Desperate Scousewives cast. She is just fab.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I had a audition for another big TV show. I will have to wait two weeks till I find out. I hate to wait but hopefully it will be good news at the end :)

Desperate Scousewives

2011-11-17T05:15:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!
I feel really relaxed and organised at the moment, I have completed the whole of my christmas shopping, which for me is a first.
With us going to Las Vegas a few days later I'm glad I haven't got the stress of christmas to have to think about now.
A couple of my friends have just been confirmed for Liverpool's version of TOWIE, its being called Desperate Scousewives. I know the majority of the cast and Splash Media who have cast it have done a great job as the cast is fab. My two friends Jaiden and Ellissa are absolutely everywhere in the media at the moment and its great to see. Its will Air on E4 on the 28th November.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I'm absolutely loving Twitter now. I deleted my facebook account and can only be found on twitter now. Follow me peeps @MissCLCatterall

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I had a crash this week luckily we wasn't hurt and was safe. Someone went into the side of my car accidentally. But the main thing is that we are safe.
I went shopping with my dad and babe cousin Lexi and its crazy to see how her little personality is coming on,she has us in stitches constantly.
I'm gutted that The Only Way Is Essex has finished, although I'm excited also as I've heard that there is a new show starting called Desperate Scouse wives is going to air. Everyone loves scousers so I can imagine the show to be massive.
I started a bit of christmas shopping this week, I can't believe how quick it is coming round.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I had a audition for a pilot drama which if I get it will air in the USA. The audition went really well so I'm keeping everything crossed as I'd love a career based in the US.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
My best friend lost her baby this week she was 9 1/2 weeks. She was so excited. So we are all rallying around making sure she is ok. Its a really sad time.

Lake District

2011-11-02T15:05:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!!
We had such a beautiful time up in the Lake District. We arrived pretty early on and was welcomed to a big buffet off food laid out by his aunty. We were absolutely stuffed by the end of it. It was nice to finally meet and catch up with the rest of Jack's family. Once it had started to go dark we decided to let some fire works off, we had taken a huge box up with us. We were able to let a few off but as it had been raining heavily a lot of the fuses had gotten wet and we were unable to ignite them.
I've been watching the series “Top Boy” this week and its been absolutely wicked its totally had me gripped. Its so true to life and got a pretty decent cast in it also.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I've been using Collagen Red Light Treatments bed a couple of times a week. Its been brilliant and really relaxing. Its designed to tackle everything concerning skin. I've been mainly using them as it helps SAD disease which I get in the winter, now I'm up and motivated thanks to a few sessions a week.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
As Panto season is coming into action most of the castings slow down. I feel at a loose ends most nights as there's not much to do. Good job TV is good at the moment.

Lake District !

2011-10-27T03:18:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Its coming to that time of year when they start to look for the new Miss Flintshire for Miss Wales. I hope all you flintshire girls have been putting you're applications in. It is really a fantastic event and you'll have the time of you're lives doing it, with you're preps meeting new friends and the actual event.
I'm going upto the Lake District this weekend to celebrate my boyfriends mum and auntie's birthday. We got a giant cupcake cake make and it looks so delicious. They are really cute creations, cupcakes are just the rage nowerdays everywhere is doing them.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
Its only 8 weeks till christmas and I'm really excited as will be the first one ill spend with my boyfriend plus were going to Las Vegas to celebrate New Year. I'm literally counting down the days. Although it aint going to be the warmest but the time of year that we are there will be something to remember. As the Americans always do everything amazing so christmas and new year will be lovely out there.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I really felt sorry for the two Sisters off TOWIE which were attacked. Nowerdays its scary to think people plan these type of things. I really hope they are recovering well as I read the Eldest sister Sam was left nearly for dead by the attackers. Poor girls all they are doing is trying to make something off themselves. Jealousy is really a nasty thing.

All My Love,

Dubai

2011-10-19T07:17:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls!!!

Ive been in talks this week about a possible job over in Dubai for a new TV show. Its going to be based on a sketch like "Friends" and they are using English speaking cast. Ive never visited Dubai however everyone i speak to has always spoke highly off it. I have alot of friends out there also so would settle nicely for the few months i would need to stay for. What a opportunity it would be also.
I have also been in talks with a SKY TV channel called Venus TV about a presenting role with them. Currently they are a Asian based Chanel looking to broaden their market and introduce a English feel show. I will meet with them in London next week to discuss their ideas.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
Now that the winter nights are here i have started to wind down and relax alot more at home. I don't deal with the cold that well so come winter i start to go into hibernation mode. Thank god tv is good at the moment and i can get cosy on the sofa and watch all my favourite programmes.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I am a huge Kim Kardashian fan and i haven't had chance to watch the wedding yet which aired on Sky TV this week. Hopefully they will repeat it through the week so i can catch up and watch it. I have seen the advert for it and she just looks breathtaking.

Weekend in Rye

2011-10-12T13:39:00.001-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls!!

I visited a small little seaside town in East Sussex called Rye this weekend. It was my boyfriend's aunties birthday. It was brilliant we booked into a static caravan on a seaside holiday park and spent Saturday night in the parks entertainment hall. I thought i was going to be bored senseless in the campsite but we was with a great group and really made the most of the night. His family are a great laugh and Paula had a fab birthday.
The next day jack and i walked across the beach and we fell in love with some of the houses that were built on the sea front,each one was like something off the Great Designs program you see on the TV. Looked more life something in Miami than the UK, i was really impressed and fell in love with the town.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
On the day of Paul McCartney's wedding in London i got to see his East Sussex house as he has a countryside house down where we was staying. It was unreal and i was starstruck just seeing his house ha.

Hey Guys and Dolls,
What gorgeous weather we had for the end of september\October. I made the most of it by visiting the beach with friends, shopping and nice evening drinks...And know they say to expect snow.
I went to the Soap awards after party this weeks which was unreal, my friend who is in a soap up north had a spare ticket and thought he would cheer me up and take me. I went to drama school with a lot of the actors on the northern soaps so was nice to catch up with them all.
My boyfriend went away for the weekend and I thought it be nice to spend a few days with my nana. I don't half miss her company she always makes me laugh.

This Week I'm Loving!!!
I bought some new dolly shoes from Office this week with little studs on, I was made up as I was gonna buy them the day earlier which would have ment me paying full price, where as I was able to get the red pair as well as what I would have paid for one. Bargain.

Birthday Girlie Fun !

2011-09-28T15:21:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!!
I've had a really lovely week. I had a casting for the new Sainsbuy's Christmas commercial. I had to travel up to Bury in Manchester for it, the casting was one of the funniest I've been too. We all had to dress up in Panto costumes and the casting director was so down to earth that he kept cracking jokes and making us all laugh.
It was one of my close friends birthday's saturday so a fee of us went out into Liverpool. We went to San Carlo for drinks and then to the Bar & Grill and Living Rooms. Sadly our fun filled night turned into tears as I fell down the stairs in my friends house and broke my toe, so now I have a beautiful bruised pedicured toe.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I have been looking around for some nice winter shoes and found some gorgeous Vivienne Westwood Boots. They are rubber and smell like cherries. Great for the winter months now wet smelly feet just warm cherry smelling tutsie's instead.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I've was really disappointed with the new series of TOWIE. It just doesn't seem to have the same appeal anymore, fingers crossed when they release the Liverpool version of MerseyShore it will have me gripped to the TV again. I'm gutted as I loved TOWIE aswell.

York Log Cabin !!

2011-09-22T08:40:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!
I spent a beautiful few days in a log cabin up in York. We stayed at Griffon Lodge forest, usually I'd always want to go abroad but it totally changed my perspective on UK get aways. The Cabin was absolutely massive with our own Hottub outside.
We spent our days looking around York sightseeing,shopping and looking at the local attractions. There was an international food market on, my boyfriend loves his food and to cook so you can imagine he went crazy. We had friends join us on the Saturday and we spent it having drinks and chatting relaxing in the outside hottub. Its something I highly recommend.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I filmed for Hollyoaks this week for their Black Wedding storyline. I also filmed the Iceland commercial for the I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here teaser.

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Well we are well and truly hitting winter aint we. I'd like just another week of a bit of sun and then I'd welcome winter with open arms.
Lifes a little up in the air at the moment but fun. I've been asked to go and work as a air stwardess over in Qatar for a VIP jet company which handles government and top officials in the country. It would mean relocating and giving up on all my hard work over in the UK. So at the moment I aint favouring the option.
My friend Louise Cliffe went into the Big Brother house so I've been glued to the TV,she's doing really well.

Heys Guys and Dolls !!
Things had been slow the past few weeks and a lot had happened, but I'm glad to feel back to myself again. I was meant to fly Ibiza this weekend but we have had to cancel our trip for certain reasons, so instead by boyfriend has booked a log cabin in York for us to go to which I'm looking forward too.
My big audition I have been talking about the past few weeks was for Channel 4's hit show “Hollyoaks” I had been waiting to hear as I auditioned for the role of Jodie, however the role went to the sister of Kimberley Walsh from girls aloud. However the producers were really impressed with my audition and I feel positive that I will get another audition for them for another role fingers crossed. Its all about being positive in this game.

An Angel lost to Heaven

2011-08-24T09:34:00.000-07:00

Dear Guys and Dolls !!!
what can I say my weeks been filled with laughter and tears and more so tears this week. I celebrated my 26th birthday on wednesday and all my family and friends made it such a beautiful day.
Also a very special lady passed away this week, My nana's best friend Nia. I have so many happy and funny memories from growing with Nia and her family. She was a true angel doing so much for charity and raising a incredible amount of money for charity, she met the queen,went on children in need and was really recognised for her work,which she truly deserved. Her and my nana worked so hard to help others.
I can't go on enough about her as she truly was one of a kind.
It really is so sad and a shock she has gone, there will be plenty of angels waiting for her at heavens gates to welcome her home.
My heart truly goes out to all of her family.

I will be back next week with news about me but this week I want to tribute it all to Nia a true Angel :)

Lots of Love,

Movie Week

2011-08-18T01:42:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls!!!
I've been non stop to trips to the cinema this week. Its that time of year when all the decent blockbusters get released. I went to watch The Rise of the planet of th apes with my boyfriend and for a fictional movie I have never seen something I enjoyed so much. At one point I was sobbing like a baby on my boyfriends shoulder it was that sad. The baby ape was so adorable also.
I also went with my boyfriend and our friends to watch the new Inbetweeners Movie. Omy gosh I've never seen a cinema so busy in my life it was jam packed and selling out of all the screenings. I don't think I stopped laughing from the beginning credits till the end it was that funny. I definitely recommend both to go and see.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
Its my birthday week this week coming and I'm looking forward to meeting up with family and friends to celebrate. Eeeekkkkk I'm going to be 26!

Rioting is a disgrace !!

2011-08-11T03:45:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!!
I'm very proud to be British but certainly this week I have felt quite ashamed to call myself British. What has the world come to for people to behave in the manner they have, rioting, setting people's cars and homes on fire and destroying peoples lives. I'm lucky that I don't live in a big city and haven't had to experience in personally but I have friends who have and they've been scared to death.
I said goodbye to my friend this week who has moved to the US for a new start in life, there was lots of tears.
I also went to meet a friend of mine for dinner in San Carlo, the food there is just to die for. We hadn't seen each other for a long time so we had lots to catch up on.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
My boyfriend got back from Thailand last night. I'd missed him so much so we spent the night just catching up on what the other had been upto. He got me some really nice presents too. He got me also one of the PC laptop tablets it is so tiny but amazing.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I'm still waiting to hear the outcome of my big audition last week. Its been a week and half since I met the casting director and they told my agent it would be a few weeks before I would hear if I had a call back. So fingers crossed I hear something next week.

Lots of Love

2011-08-04T03:26:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!
Its been quite a week for me, my agent put me up for a role in a major tv production,and I had my audition on Monday. I will have to wait for a week or two before I hear if I they are re calling me for a second audition. I'm hoping everything turns out good from it as the casting went really well.
I put a lot of work preparing over it with my agent and gave my all so my fingers are crossed.
I managed to spend some time with another close friend this week, Jaiden Micheal,he hasn't been too well, it was really nice to catch up with him.
I also attended a friends wedding over the weekend, it was a brilliant day and she looked truly beautiful.

This Week I'm Loving !!
I caught up with my two best friends Sally and Leanne for some girlie chit chat and wine. Leanne is moving to the USA which I'm really sad about but I know she is going to love it out there.

This Week I'm Hating !!
My dad and boyfriend have gone on holiday to Thailand. I'm really missing them but I had to stay and prepare for my audition and it means so much to me so holidays can always come again.

Lots of Love,

R.I.P Amy Winehouse !!

2011-07-24T09:48:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I opened the papers this week and it was truly devastating to read that Amy has passed away. I'm quite sick to read people constantly say she deserved for it to happen and was only a matter of time. People should be actually looking at the positive side of Amy, and what she achieved in life. She started out a young girl with a dream and the talent to take over the world and she achieved that,selling multi million sale albums. She really was a musical genius.
She never hurt anyone and from what I've always heard she was a pleasant lady. Just a shame the fame brought her nothing but pain and encouraged her demons to be highlighted let's face it the pressure the girl had at the status of her existence would have been hard for anyone.
Recently I worked with her boyfriend Reg Traviss on a film and when I read the news my thoughts went straight out to him and Amy's family. Godbless you all and I'm sincerely sorry to hear about such tragedy. Amy's will live on in peoples hearts with all the greatest she truly will.

Lots of Love,

End of a year !!

2011-07-21T04:38:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!
I'm down in London this week with the Miss Supranational team. Its seems mad that its been a year since I won the title and after tonight it will be handed over to another girl. Its been a fantastic year, working with great charities and organisations trying to make a difference. My highlight was definately my time spent in Poland at the international final. The next girl is going to have just as good of a year as I did. I wish you all luck girls and treasure the experience.
My lovely friend Sophie Anderson competed in the Miss England World final on Tuesday and she did so well. She made the Top 15 however she was the winner in my eyes.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I auditioned for the new Carling commercial this week also, I'm still waiting to hear on the outcome. Also I'm still keeping my fingers crossed about the MAC cosmetics role I interviewed for.

Hey Guys and Dolls !!!
The sunshine has definitely arrived hasn't it ??
I've had a very positive week, I applied for a part time position for MAC Cosmetics as a Make Up Artist. I have past three interviews so far and just not waiting to hear if I have been successful or not.
I have also just signed up with Elite Asia Group Management as Miss England to travel to Korea on the 1st of October to compete in the world finals of Miss Asia Pacific World. After I have competed I will stay a couple of months to work and build a good working network out there. I have never travelled to Korea so I'm pretty excited to go and see the culture and country. I love Thailand so I can see myself loving Korea.

This Week I'm Loving !!

A big congrats to the Beckhams on their new babygirl. However I'm really not feeling the name they have called her Harper Seven. I guess its all down to personal choice.

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I've had a beautiful week celebrating everyone's birthdays, it was my Dads,best friends and boyfriends birthday all in the same week.
All weekend I was working over at the Circus casino for a charity poker tournament. We went along to support the Francesca Bimpson foundation. We had a great laugh watching the Poker 10k freefall tournament and we were all also taught how to play. I'm a little dap hand at poker now :).
On the saturday night we celebrated my boyfriends birthday watching the David Haye fight, I was devastated he lost I was really routing for him to win. It was a fantastic night though and all our friends were out and we celebrated his birthday in a good way.

Just in a Pose !

2011-06-22T16:11:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls!!!

Ive still been fighting of this flue ive had the past week and half. Ive never known something to last so long and so many people to have the same thing at once. To get over it fully I've just spent time relaxing and seeing friends and family so not to aggravate it any more. I went to the cinema to watch the new 'SENNA' movie as i had heard great reviews and things about it. I didn't think i was going to like it as i ain't much of a F1 fan however i was really engrossed in the film, my boyfriend couldn't believe i didn't moan about it instead i came out raving on about how good it was.I definitely say its a Must to see.
I had a photoshoot as i needed to update all my official headshots for my spotlight and IMDB pages for my acting work.I popped over to my friend and photographer Nikki Lyons at Modelworx and we shot some on Tuesday and I'm so pleased with them. Here's a few for you to take a sneaky peak at.

This Week I'm Loving!!!
I have a casting this week ahead for a new film by the producers of 'Screwed' my previous film. Its for the lead female role so all my fingers and toes are crossed.

My good friend is still fighting for his life in hospital. Thankfully he is back from Tenerife now and back in the UK. Lets all pray for a miracle.If i could have one wish in the world it would be for him to be ok.

Under the weather

2011-06-16T03:32:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
My weeks plans all had to be scrapped this week as I had come down with the flue. I thought at first that possibly I was coming down with a little bit of hayfever but when I attended Rumble at the Reebok on saturday night ay the Reebok Stadium in Bolton I started to really feel awful and been in bed since.
It was such a shame though as we had a lovely night at the Reebok stadium I joined friends Mark Strange and his pr manager and had a right giggle. I'm not a big fan of boxing as I don't like the violence even though it is a regulated sport,but I have to say Thai boxing is worst than any,however was a fun night.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
As I've not moved out the house because of this flue I've managed to catch up with all of the soaps. I'm like a complete soap geek now :).

This Week I'm Hating !!!
It was horrible to see my friend Carly White fight although she is amazing at what she does. Sometimes though it makes it more horrible to watch because its a girl. Although she didn't win we all felt she should have and she is going to have a re match with her opponent and fingers crossed she wins this time :)

Sunshine weekend

2011-06-09T00:56:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
where has the weather gone?? Last weekend it was absolutely beautiful. I spent the weekend relaxing with a few of my best friends in the back garden having bbq's and sipping wine and lots of gossip enjoying the sunshine.
On the Sunday we all went to watch my film Screwed in the pictures. My friends had heard all about it and was dying to see it. We had a good old giggle and was lovely to share the experience together. I have so many friends wanting to watch it,so I have a feeling it gonna be a case of me never being out of the pictures the next few weeks. But it's nice and great having my friends supporting me :).

This week I'm Loving !!!

I hadn't spent much time with one of my best friends Summer,as we had both been so busy. This week we decided to hang out and we watched all three episode's of Geordie Shore.

Exciting Week

2011-06-01T03:03:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

It was lovely to read the lovely write up Joanne Shone wrote about me in this weeks paper. The paper has followed me from a young age now and watched me grow in my footsteps and i just want to say a massive thank you for being there and supporting me all the way through.
The Film 'Screwed' was screened in the UK for its press premiere on Monday night and it had alot of great feedback. Unfortunately i couldn't attend as i had to attend a audition for ITV. All the cast and crew are now really excited about its release in UK cinema's Friday. Please do go and watch it as its a really gritty story line that will have you gripped.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I went to watch the 'Hangover 2'last night. I love comedies and the last one i went to watch was 'HallPass' and didn't think it would be beat, but i have to say Hangover 2 was so much funnier and even funnier than the first Hangover.I couldn't stop laughing all the way through the film.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I feel for Cheryl Cole, i really to think she has been used and spat out in a very horrible public way with the whole X Factor USA saga. but i agree she is a strong soul and will come back bigger and stronger. Definitely Team Cheryl here !.

2011-05-25T08:48:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I went down to the Body Power event at the NEC this weekend to help my friends at Vyomax with their brand. WE definitely had the best stand at the event, each day we were joined by Boxers Ricky Hatton,Scott Quigg,Mark Strange, Mathew Hatton and many more. The whole event was filmed for Hatton TV productions which is Ricky Hattons production company. Everyone of the boxers were really friendly and caused a frenzy amongst the exhibition visitors.
I'm over at the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend for the weekend which I'm really excited about. I'm attending and hosting a pageant out there Miss Monaco Grand Prix then going to relax and network at the Grand Prix.

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Ive had a beautiful week, over the weekend i wet to see a psychic from Chester called Ken. I'm always intrigued by them and was told alot of positive and uplifting things from him.
My boyfriend took me away for the evening also to the Double Tree Hilton hotel in Chester, it was a beautiful night we went to a restraunt then ordered a few bottle of champagne and enjoyed each other's company. The next morning we got up early and used the hotels Spa which is just breathtaking. If you're looking for a spa break i definitely recommend.

Royal Wedding

2011-05-04T16:25:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Well haven't we been spoilt with the weather the past few weeks. Whilst I was away I looking forward to returning home but I must admit I had doubts about returning with our typical english weather, However its been perfect it hasn't stopped being beautiful since I got home.
I've got to say the Royal Wedding was beautiful wasn't it? I sat from 10am right through till the kiss around 2pm. I was glued to the telly watching everyone arrive and what they was wearing. Kate just took my breath away in her dress and I have to say even her sister was shinning beautifully like her. I suppose it was lovely for two sisters to share that day like they did. I wish the happy couple all the best.

This Week I'm Loving!!
It was lovely to see Chloe-Beth Morgan was crowned Miss Universe Great Britain on Sunday. Chloe isn't only beautiful on the outside but just as beautiful on the inside. Goodluck Chloe at the Internationals in Brazil in September.

This Week I'm Hating!!
I guess I'm relived to find that the worlds a little more safer now that Osama Bin Ladan has been killed and the USA got their Justice, but I still fear that the protests and terrorism is going to get more out of hand from protest attacks from Al Quaida. Just a shame it happened on a weekend that was spread with joy from the royal wedding and the happy news headlines.

Back to normal

2011-04-21T01:52:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I've finally landed back in the UK and starting to get settled back into things after a month travelling the world.
Las Vegas was absolutely amazing, I don't think I have had much more than 20 hours sleep the whole time I was there. I didn't get much time last time I went to see vegas so I made sure I used every minute spare to see and visit places. I went to watch a show put there called La Verve at the Wynn hotel, it was outstanding I was completely blown away.
My good friend Nick Gold from London who runs the night club Jalouse, he has started a club out over in Las Vegas in the Bellagio hotel, each night because he was missing British company we went over and joined him for drinks.
I also had my photographer from modelworx who was over for a wedding shoot me over in the Wet Republic in the MGM pool. The shots turned out beautifully and I felt like a little celeb shooting there as Kim Kardashian and david guetta were shooting and making an appearance there the day before.

This Week I'm Loving!!!
I'm so glad to be home and get in the swing of things, I missed my family and boyfriend so much. Although I had a lovely time with all my friends out there its still lovely to be back.

This Week I'm Hating!!!
The flight was awful back from Las Vegas, I was really un comfy and couldn't sleep. It made it worst as everything was rushed getting to the airport as I had been shooting before my flight so I didn't get much sleep before it. I was so glad to land in the UK.

Have a fab easter!!
Lots of Love,

Viva Las Vegas

2011-04-12T23:10:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
What a beautiful weekend we had, I landed back from Thailand and enjoyed the sunny mornings and afternoon. It kept my spirits high and jet lag at bay whilst I prepared for Las Vegas.
I'm flying out to represent europe at Miss World Dreams today in Las Vegas. I'm really excited to go, there's a great group of girls going I know and I just Love Vegas. I last went in 2007 to do a different International pageant and fell in love with vegas but sadly because I was so busy didn't get chance to see much of it. I'm going to make sure that I take every opportunity I get to venture out and see more whilst I'm here on this trip.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I had two auditions this week one for a new feature film by Castdiva Films and one for Max Factor, fingers crossed I will receive some good news whilst I'm away.

This week I'm Hating !!!
I haven't had chance to see my nana since returning from Thailand as I've been so busy, I'm missing her loads now but ill go and spend some time with her when I return and tell her about both of my trips. Love you Nana :)

Leaving Thailand

2011-04-06T04:33:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!!
I've said goodbye to the beach resort in Thailand now to backed with a beautiful tan and headed to the hustle and bustle of what is Bangkok. We have checked into the 5 star Landmark hotel for the final night and enjoyed a nice relaxing meal before we catch out flight back to Manchester tomorrow.
Its going to be a busy couple of days of manic preparation as I have only a few days to prepare for my trip to Las Vegas. In between my preps I have a few auditions I must attend that I arranged whilst I've been out in Thailand. Fingers crossed I should receive some good news whilst I'm over in Las Vegas.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I have caught the most beautiful tan and I've only spent four days in the sun. I have never gone so dark and was being a bit cautious as I knew I was going to vegas and didn't want to go too dark over there. I feel really healthy and refreshed now.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
Its been lovely spending time with my dad out here, was a little sad leaving him today as he will stay a few extra weeks over here in the sunshine. Won't be long before he is home :)

Sunbathing heaven

2011-03-29T22:42:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Sawadee (up to now that's all my Thai I have learnt which is Hello) , we've had not very good weather the past few days as it had been raining over the whole of Thailand non stop. It became a little repetitive as there is only so much you can do when it rains just like back home, however the sun is shining beautifully again and I'm sat around the pool enjoying the sunshine and writing my column here on my IPad.
As we'd had a few nights out we fancied a nice chilled evening the other night so we decided to go the cinema over here and watch Jennifer Anniston's new film Just go with it which also starred Adam Sandler . It was hilarious not only did the film have me in stitches but the experience was a different one too. Firstly the chairs were like sofas and the comfiest cinema I've been too then before the film started we noticed all the Thai people were stood up saluting the king. As we were in their country it was only right we did the same but I thought it was a really nice cultural thing they did and shows the respect they have for their king and country. I wonder if our country will introduce it when our Wills marries Kate this month coming?

This week I'm loving!!!
I've been eating really healthy whilst I've been out here as the Thai people have a really healthy balanced diet anyway and that's all I've been eating is the Thai cuisine. I'll be coming home feeling like I've had a health overhaul rather than coming back from usual holidays feeling like I've done nothing but gain weight.

This week I'm hating!!!
Someone has hacked into my best friends bank account this week which is terrible especially as they are saving for their wedding next year and don't need the hassle and stress of it all. She is really careful where she puts her bank details also, so be careful out there everyone and check up on everything.

Back to my sunbathing however I hear the sun is shunning back home also. enjoy the sun :)
Lots of love

Viva La Thailando

2011-03-23T05:01:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!!
Hope you are all enjoying the weather back in the UK as I hear the weather is beautiful. The weather is scorching over here in Thailand a little to hot. I'm out here with my dad and boyfriend and having a wonderful time with them both.
We flew over with Emirates on the new A380, it was some experience the plane was massive and never seen anything so big. I didn't think it was gonna take off the ground. We bought jacks IPad with us, didn't half keep us entertained.
We stopped of at Dubai airport and again was the first time I had been to that airport and that was just as unreal. I'm gonna have to make it a point of visiting Dubai for a holiday.

This Week I'm Loving!!!
I went to Holland and Barrat's before I flew out to Thailand and brought some tanning vitamins to take whilst I'm out here. My tan is coming out deliciously.

This Week I'm Hating!!!
I am Hooked at the news as I can't believe what is going on over in Japan and the trouble in Libya. We have to really count or blessing right now. Hope everything settles now and returns to normal.

Thailand

2011-03-17T04:19:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I've been looking at flights all week to travel to thailand for a few weeks, I've finally found some and will travel this Saturday. I haven't been since Christmas 2009 so I'm really excited to getting out there and catching some sunshine. Plus its always good to spend a few weeks with my dad. My Dad is staying for 4 weeks, however I'm flying back after 2 as I will fly straight to Las Vegas.
Not only have I had to look for flights to Thailand, I've also been searching for flights to Las Vegas where I am a delegate at Miss World Dreams. I will fly on the 13th April for a week. I haven't been Las Vegas since I competed in Miss Hawaiian Tropic in 2007, and I didn't really get chance to see much of it then so this time I'm gonna make the most of it. The UK team are all really nice girls so plenty of fun on the agenda.

This week I'm loving !!!
I can't wait to just get a nice tan. Especially as now I will be tanned from Thailand and won't need to use False Tan in Las Vegas. When you're in these competitions its always nicer to have natural tanned skin.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
The next few days are gonna be pretty manic as I'm gonna have to prepare for both trips as there isn't much time in between to prepare. However I'm really lucky and blessed to be going to two beautiful places so I shouldn't be moaning.

Stay Blessed keep Smiling !
Lots of Love,

Fakin it Event

2011-03-09T03:05:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I attended an event this week to support a charity against Skin Cancer called 'Fakin It'. The charity aims to stop young adults getting addicited to sunbeds in the aim to have a all year round tan and instead to use fake tan to achieve the same goals. It was held over at the Newz bar in Liverpool,they had different fashion shows and stands where you could go and have skin analysis and treatments. I was invited down as Miss England Supranational and made an appearance.
I also was hosting a dinner over in Liverpool on saturday night in San Carlo in Liverpool which was lovely and we were joined by some of the England rugby team.San Carlo is one of my favourite restraunts, afterwards we finished the night off over in a club called Reform in Liverpool.
'Footloose' the musical is on tour currently and over at the Liverpool Empire theatre, i headed down there on Monday night to watch the show with jack and it was a brilliant show. The cast were all really talented and got the crowd up dancing at the end. If you're wanting to watch the show its being shown all week before it moves theatre's.

This Week Im Loving !!!
My brother was home again at the weekend,although i was busy i got to spend all of Sunday catching up with him. He's always like a whirlwind when he's home as when he isnt catching up with the family he is making his rounds around his friends to catch up with them. Its always good to have him home for a few days.

This Week im hating !!!
I've had to do loads of jogging this week to shift all the extra pounds from Pancake day.I was being really good aswell for my preps for Las Vegas in April, However its only pancake day once a year and its allowed to loose control and eat so many. Hope you all had a wonderful Pancake day :)

2011-02-23T04:07:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!
I spent all weekend over in Manchester at a wedding event which was lovely. It was held at the Place hotel and apartments of Piccadilly. I was at the event with a few friends I hadn't seen for a while from past pageants. It was wonderful to sit and chat and catch up over things.
Afterwards my friend came to meet me and we headed over to San Carlo restraunt and had a beautiful meal and some drinks. Afterwards we headed to the Living rooms and Hiltons cloud 23 bars. Both my friends who I was with are heading to live out in Marbella this week, so we made sure we made it a good night.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
My best friend Summer has moved back from her teaching course this week, its been years since we've been apart working on our ambitions. Now were back home its lovely to spend lots of time with her.

This week I'm hating !!!
I'm hating this weather at the moment, its neither here or there. My dads been feeling a little down so I'm gonna head to Thailand the next few weeks with him. Be nice to spend some quality time with him.

Lots of Love,

Woodland Cross

2011-02-16T01:21:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I've been reading the script for a new film I'm in the process of accepting called “Woodland Cross” its a deep thriller and the script has had me hooked where I haven't been able to put the script down. The role I'm reading over is for Tammy which is the mistress to a character played by UK and Hollywood actor John Hannah. People will know john from big budget blockbusters The Mummy and Slidding Doors to name a few. I will film over a period of 3 months in Canada and East Europe.
Did anyone see the Brits last night? What an amazing show with Rihanna and Tiny Tempah's performance's. They blew me away they were that good. It as good to see Tiny Tempah win he is truly talented. I seen him at the Mobo's last November and he was holding all his gongs he had won at the Mobo's. It wasn't till he walked away that I realised it was him.

This Week I'm Loving!!!
I'm addicted to the new series of 90210. I used to love the series in the 90's but the new version is definitely the better series. I'm hooked and love addrianna's look and style.

This Week I'm Hating!!!
I'm devastated that My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding has finished. I loved that programme and didn't miss one. I have so much respect for them after watching the series they have such high morals. Some of the wedding dresses were just incredible and the money they spend on them. I really hope they make another series.

Lots of Love,

Mumbai Agent

2011-02-09T01:49:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!!

Its been a rather exciting week, I found out that the film “Screwed” I filmed last september with Director Reg Traviss has got a release date and will be released world wide in july distributed through Momentum Pictures. So fingers crossed the trailer will be released the next few weeks.
I also was scouted by a Actor and Model management over in Mumbai which is something I had been thinking about for a while trying to break into the market over there so was a little surreal when I was approached by the agent. I have two friends who have done huge Bollywood blockbusters out there,which they said its like a different world the way they work. Ill look forward to see what the agency brings in for me.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
My dad lost a friend recently and has been a little down so we are booking a holiday to go away for 2 weeks in the next 3 weeks. I'm really looking forward to spending some quality time with him as I didn't go away at christmas with him and have missed just spending a few weeks hanging out with my papa and having a giggle.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I seen that Shotton Lane social club had burnt down. I couldn't believe the damage to the club when I drove past. I hope everyone who lives close by are safe and ok after it. That club has been there for aslong as I can remember such a shame it has gone.

Lots of Love,

Buisiness Plans

2011-02-02T00:21:00.000-08:00

Hey guys and Dolls,
I've been attending lots of buisiness meetings and classes to learn about setting up my own buisiness. I've always wanted to set up my on drama school so I've finally took the steps to try and make it happen. The Welsh assembly have been helping me and run some really good courses and I have learnt so much just in a week. I have a long way to go yet as the course runs for 16 weeks. I don't mind attending the course though as I know I'm learning everything correctly and gaining the right knowledge. Its always been an ambition to help in the community and give younger people than I opportunities in the field that I work. I have made a lot of contacts over the years and seems sensible to teach and share it all what I've achieved.
My good friend Jaiden Michaels blogg site Is going from strength to strength in the UK. He markets himself on Perez Hilton who is a huge celebrity blogger in the states. However I prefer jaidens style and can see he is gonna go huge. For all the current celebrity gossip check out his site www.jaidenM.co.uk. He was also nominated for a Liverpool lifestyle award recently which we were all so proud of him for.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
Over the past few months I have put on a few pounds so I've decided to start jogging. I was given a gorgeous pair of K swiss tubes running shoes at a event recently in my goody bag,so they have come in handy to shift them extra pounds.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I'm hating all the trouble over in Egypt at the moment. My friend is over there on holiday celebrating her birthday and engagement, I can't wait for her to come home so I know she is safe.

Lots of Love,

Another Manic Week !!

2011-01-26T02:27:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Life has started to get a bit crazy again now. I attended a fashion show for a charity event in Liverpool on friday,which I really enjoyed. The event was held for the charity Help for Heroes and they did so well. I'm such a fashionista that I wanted all the clothes.
Its a shame dates clashed as I really wanted to go and watch Miss Flintshire,however I had arranged to attend the fashion event a while back and couldn't pull out. I had a look over the winners and what a lovely group of girls that got places. Congratulations to Caroline Firth who won and a big good luck in you're journey to Miss Wales. My friend. Laura Gaine came 2nd which I was do happy for her as she had tried and put so much effort in.
I also had a phot shoot with a photographer called Adam Yaffe in Southport. His work is out of this world and he has shot so many famous faces from Alex Curran through to the reigning Miss Great Britain Amy Carrier.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I'm back down London this week for a casting which if I get I will fly out to LA for 3 weeks in April. However its a fly in fly out visit as I need to be back up north to film Coronation Street.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I have been really poorly at the same time as being so busy this week with tonsillitis. I had to battle through as there wasn't anytime to rest and get over it properly but I'm back to my good old self now.

Lots of Love,

Good Luck Girls !!!
I had a photoshoot yesterday for a magazine and although i woke up feeling really poorly i didnt think the photo's would be very good. However they turned out really nice and i have a test shot from yesterday which i can show you.

This Week Im Loving !!!
I was given some really nice products from Fake Bake last week to try. I'm a huge fan of their false tan anyway, now i have enough stock to keep me through the winter. Thanks to Fake Bake.

This Week Im Hating !!!
I have a meeting on Friday to set up a drama school around the area. I have been keen to do it for a while as i have alot of contacts now in the industry and feel it would be great to help out around the area. I have had my Buisiness plan done for a while now. Im just a really impatient person but as they say "rome wasnt built in a day". So i need to be patient go through the each step and fingers crossed hope its a success. Will Keep you posted when im about to launch it.

London Town

2011-01-12T03:48:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I was down in London this week having a couple of photo shoot's, one was with Modelworx. and the pictures are just divine. I need to update my book and I couldn't have imagined better pictures, I'm really happy with them.
My friend Jules Knight from the classical band Blake was at Champneys spa this week and asked if I wanted to go a long. Which I was a little sad about not being able to make it.
Whilst I was in London I went for a lovely meal at Nobu with my agent who treated me to the experience. I had never been before and wow the food is out of this world. I'm not normally a fan of fish and sushi but it was incredible. Hopefully go back one day.

This Week I'm Loving!!
I read that the Beckham's are expecting another child. I'm sure if she has a little girl she will be hitting the best dressed lists like Tom Cruises daughter Suri Cruise.It will be like battle of the tots.

This Week I'm Hating!!
I was so excited that Dancing on Ice was starting and because I had a meeting Sunday I missed the show. I'm fans of a few of the celebrities this year so been looking forward for it to start. Hopefully I can catch it on catch up before next weeks show.

Lots of love,

2011

2011-01-06T00:41:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!!

Firstly Happy new year to you all and hope you all seen 2011 in with a bang. I wonder if we have all stuck to our new year resolutions???
My Resolution for this year is to drop a few percent on how much of a workaholic I am and actually have a bit of fun this year. I Love what I do so much that sometimes I haven't been letting my hair down so this year I'm gonna balance them both out.
I just ended up celebrating New Year with all my close friends and family and it was really nice. However I did have a bit too much champagne and paid for my hangover the next day.
I also read that December was the coldest recorded month ever, which I'm not surprised as it was freezing last month. That's why I hardly did anything as I couldn't face going out in them conditions.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I've become a huge fan of Kerry Katona after watching her show on ITV2. I'm really happy she has turned her life around. I was really excited to see she is going into Dancing On Ice. They have a good line up this year,so no doubt it will have me addicted.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I love all the soap and especially Eastender's at the min but I'm not enjoying the baby storyline that's going on with Ronnie and Kat. I understand its real life they base their story lines on, but I just think its a really sensitive storyline for people to watch. I read that they have had over 350,000 complaints regarding it.

Lots Of Love,

Saying Goodbye to 2010,

2010-12-23T03:14:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Its that time of year again when were about to say goodbye to another chapter in our lives and say hello to another. Waving goodbye to 2010 can't come quick enough for me,Although I have had some wonderful things happen to me and been give some amazing opportunities, but this year has been the worst year in my life also. Experiencing loads of different traumatic experiences and life lessons. In a way its true what the say everything happens for a reason because it all changed me as a person. It taught me to stop being Naïve and so trustworthy of everyone I meet, but on the flip side it turned me into 100% woman and removed the girl.
I'm attending my friend Timmy Chen and Liverpool footballer Ryan Babels birthday in Hale this week. They both turn 24 and its been a invite only party which I'm excited to go to. Hope you all get Merry and see New Year in with a bang, and ill see you all in 2011.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I loved all my christmas present this year, I have got some Christian Louboutin shoes and a Links of London bracelet. I don't think ill have any of them of in the new year. Hope santa looked after you all too and gave you a big smile on christmas day. Also how lovely was it to see the Haiti disaster children that's were left orphaned from the disaster paired up with their new adoptive family in France yesterday. I was in tears watching the news.

This Week I'm Hating !!
I really can't cope in these cold climates, every time I drive anywhere I'm sliding everywhere till I get on the main roads. I actually resorted to walking the shop yesterday cos was to hard to get out my drive. By the time I got home I was froze through. I know now why going away out these climates is the best idea. It gives me SAD disease from it all.

Happy 2011 everyone !!!
Lots of Love,

White Christmas !!!

2010-12-20T04:25:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Girls,
Its definitely going to be a white christmas for us all this year isn't it. I couldn't believe how deep it went over the weekend. I had a friend who was coming over for the weekend from Germany, but because of the snow they cancelled all the flights from Munich into Manchester so he couldn't come. I was really sad aswell as I was looking forward to him arriving.
Instead I had drinks with the girls and went over to a new club in Liverpool. Its been nice to have to not worry about work and just relax with the girls. Especially at this time of year as I don't normally see them as I'm always in Thailand every December celebrating the holidays.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
My brother was home again for the weekend to celebrate christmas a little earlier as he can't make it for actual christmas day. We did a bit of shopping for our last minute presents and then my mum gave us a gift each early. She had bought us both Links of London bracelets which were beautiful. I'm gonna save mine though until christmas day to wear it.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I have a photoshoot on the 11th january so I'm gonna have to be extra careful not to over eat at christmas like I normally and probably everyone else does. So gonna be a case of counting calories for me rather than opening that advent calendar and eating the chocolate inside.

Merry Christmas everyone,
Love

W Hotels Miami Launch

2010-12-15T07:21:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Well what did everyone think of the X Factor??? After the X fever has took over us all for the past few month's I think that the best winner won. I think Matt is more present in his work. I loved Rebecca however and I did think she was the most talented but I just don't think she was quite ready for what would have been thrust upon her. Her confidence wasn't quite there to take that much pressure on.
I went to Manchester to a event for W Hotels from over in Miami at Rosso restaurant and it was delicious. We were joined by the Everton Football team and the party got underway and ended up to be a brilliant event. The Champagne went down well and I've been paying for it for a few days.

This Week I'm Loving!!!
I have just had a casting for Piz Buin sun care products for the summer campaign for Boot stores. Ill hear next week. Fingers crossed it will be a nice welcome for 2011.

This Week I'm Hating!!!
My brother can't come home for christmas so he has come home this week to celebrate christmas a little. His work won't allow his holidays for christmas so he has to stay in Scotland. However we will all still have a lovely time celebrating it.

Lots of Love,
Claire-Louise Catterall xxx

Miss Motors Liverpool 2011

2010-12-08T03:32:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Not long now till christmas and new year hope all you're preparations and plans are going to plan for you. I haven't even started,I'm going to have to get a move on.
I went over to Liverpool this week to judge Miss Motors Liverpool 2011 model search, produced by Wady and Young management. It was a really good event and they held it over. In the Newz bar. They had one of JLS's younger brother performing Juls and he was. Unreal and very talented. The Winner Madina was beautiful also. They had show girls and fire eaters welcome the guests to a champagne reception which I thought was rally classy.
Afterwards I popped over to a club called Mood in Liverpool to meet my friend Mikey Fisher who was with Mark and Lauren from ITV2's reality show This is Essex. I had a few drinks with them whilst they did their PA for the club and then we all headed down to Blue Bar on the Albert Docks.
I wasn't up for doing anything then all weekend, especially because how cold it had got, I literally went over to Manchester to have a read through with all the cast for the independent film I'm doing `Lightning Falls' then headed home and got cosy to watch. The X Factor. I was gonna head over to Liverpool to meet my friend Jake Jervis but I couldn't handle to cold.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I'm so happy Rebecca Ferguson made the final of the Xfactor. I wasn't best pleased Mary got kicked out over Cher Lloyd...and was even more outraged that I'm the press Mary spoke about how she had won the public vote over Cher Lloyd but wasn't as marketable enough so they got rid of her. Mary is that talented that she will go in to do well, she's another Subo I'd say.

Lots of Love

winter wonderland !!

2010-12-01T03:50:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Hope you're all enjoying the snow, and I'm guessing its gonna be a white December and christmas for us this year. I'm not a big fan of the cold and snow so I'm hating it right now. Especially because of where I live I can't get out of my street for it as the gritters haven't gritted the roads,which means the cars are skidding everywhere.
Due to the snow all my weeks plans have had to be put on hold also.
I read that cheryl Cole has just signed a 3Million pound contract to be a judge on the American version of the X Factor, which I'm really happy for her. Possibly a new start in america will lift her spirits.

This Week I'm Loving,
It was lovely having my brother home for the weekend and catch up on everything. He is like a best mate to me also,so when he is home all we do is joke and laugh. He is back home for Christmas which will be great to see him again so soon.

This Week I'm Hating,
I had been cast in a small role this week for a new feature film called “How to stop being a Looser” but due to the weather I have had to pull out. Which has dampened my spirits a little as I'm so focused on my career right now and don't want anything to mess up. I guess this project wasn't ment to be.

Lots of Love,
Claire-Louise Catterall xxx

Mums Birthday !!!

2010-11-23T15:36:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Ive had a lovely week celebrating my mums birthday celebrations. My brother came home from Scotland to make her day even more special.We went for a lovely meal and a big catch up as it had been a few months since all three of us were together as a family, as with our comitments life can keep us seperated for a little while, A huge Happy Birthday to you Mamma.
Each year i tend to jet of into the sunshine with my dad to Thailand,I prefer to be in the sun celebrating the festivities. Due to a new film production ive just been cast in, my dates clash which means i need to stay in the UK to film. Im gonna miss my dad though and spending Christmas Day with him. But im sure ill jet away somewhere with him in the New Year.

This Week Im Loving !!!
Im not really a Royal Family fan, but when News broke about Prince William's and Kate's wedding date on the 29th of April i felt all excited for them. Ive really grown to like them and think they will modernise the monarchy.

This Week Im Hating !!!
Seriously what is going on with the X Factor??? In my opinion i felt that Cher Lloyd should have been the one to leave. Its become a little bit of a pantomine now with Wagner escaping the bottom two and great singers being booted out in a result of it.

Lots of Love,
Claire-Louise Catterall xxx

Boxing Bonanza

2010-11-17T06:36:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Doll's,

I attended the David Haye Boxing event at the Radisson hotel this week sponsored by Bluesq.com. The event was fantastic and full of the celebrities and footballer's.It had a lovely atmosphere to it also as it was the pre-drink and belini drinks event before we all went to the M.E.N arena to watch the fight. Im not a huge boxing fan so i wasnt so keen on the actual fight. Later i headed over to the after party in Bijou with a few of the girls and had a wonderful evening.
I was really disapointed in the new "Im a Celebrity Get me Out of Here" line up. I hardly know who any of the celeb's this year are, I guess ill get hooked though.

This week Im loving!!!
I took all my hair extension's out this week and could'nt believe the length my hair had gone. Im gonna keep my own natural hair from now on and lather it with Loreal intense conditioner to keep it in lovely condidtion.

This Week Im Hating!!!
I was told about the body being found in Wepre park this week. My heart goes out to the family at this time.

Lots of Love,

Lights,Camera,Action.

2010-11-10T03:06:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I had a wonderful time down London. I got chance to meet up with my agent Johnny and director Reg Traviss (picture above), for a nice catch up after we had wrapped filming on “Screwed”.
I managed to also get to see the behind the scenes footage that Sky 3D filmed for behind the movies.
I have a lot on this week as I am off to Leeds to meet my agent again and Director Jim Dickinson to chat about his movie I have just been cast in called “Rough and Ready” then I have to be back in Manchester as I am hosting a event there for Bluesq.com betting at the Raddison hotel.
I also have a read through for a short film I'm filming in December called “Lightning falls” directed by Sean Cernow, who I worked with on the set of Screwed.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I'm addicted to the book “The Secret” it has officially became my daily bible. Its all about positive thinking and the art of attraction. I definitely recommend reading it .

This week I'm Hating !!!
I couldn't believe the X Factor this week, Poor Trayc. For Cheryl not to vote was really unprofessional,she earns a ridiculously huge sum of money for her role on the show and perfectly understands what her role is. I couldn't believe she refused to vote.

Lots of Love,

new film deal.

2010-11-03T04:25:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Being around town the past few days I've had a few people wish me well after the Mobo Award's. Would just like to thank you all for taking the time to come up to me and say such kind words.
I was cast in a new feature film this week by director Jim Dickinson called “Rough and Ready” its a comedy starring some good stars, I'm really excited and chuffed about it. All my hard work and determination its starting to show its been worth it and its keeping myself really focussed. I have a long way to go yet however with the work coming in I'm just so thankful. The film's details are currently on IMDB at the moment,in the next few week my credit will go on. Its also filmed up north in Leeds to which is wicked.
I'm back down London also this week as I'm hosting a event at Vendome in Mayfair called American Dream Model Search. My good friends are coming down Actor Johnny Lynch and Director Reg Traviss and possibly Reg Traviss's girlfriend Amy. Reg and Amy only got back from LA on Tuesday so I'm over the moon they are coming.

This Week I'm Loving,
I loved watching Rebecca Ferguson this week on the X Factor covering Chris Issac's cover of Wicked Game. I love Chris Issac's version but I agreed with Danni's comments I could literally listen Rebecca's version all day.

This Week I'm Hating,
My skin has become really dry from the weather being so cold. Even after giving my face a nice scrub to get all the dead skin cells off, its dry again from the central heating. I've been using a Clarins Hydra-quench cream , that's really intense to try and balance my oils out and keep my skin feeling dewy and soft.

Lots of Love,

Mobo's chao's

2010-10-27T02:23:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Winter has definitely set in now, every morning is crispy and cold. I woke up yesterday morning and couldn't believe it was still dark at 8am.I reckon were in for a long and cold winter this year.
I attended the Mobo's Awards last week which was amazing,one of the best events I've ever been to in my life. I met everyone from Nelly, Alesha Dixon to Professor Green and more. After the awards we went to the after party over at the Hilton which again was jam packed and full of celebrities from the Hollyoak's cast and Alex Curran and all the singers from the awards. The party was really good until around 1am when a brawl erupted in the V.I.P area, a small fight kicked it all off and then escalated into a mass brawl where people were throwing champagne bottle's and glasses which was just uncontrollable, it was really scary. Then as the brawl started to become controlled by security there was gunshot's. The party was really good until that point but for safety reasons the Hilton officials decided to close and shut the event down.
I also attended the Liverpool Lifestyle awards which again was a fantastic evening over in Liverpool and was great to catch up with all my friends.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I'm addicted to Hollyoaks later which is being aired this week. The story lines are really gritty in it this time. Every night I've been glued to the TV and I can't see me moving for the next few nights either.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I'd been invited to London by my good friend Tony Baxter at Sincura to attend a beautiful champagne event at the Yatch private members club in London. Due other things. Up north I can't attend, but my mum is attending the event and I'm sure she will have a lovely time.

Lots of Love,

Mobos Awards Liverpool

2010-10-20T02:59:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Winter is definitely here....I can't believe how cold it is. I'm a typical sun,sea and sand girl so the winter never sits well with me. I've been just staying at home in th warmth as much as possible the last week,catching up with X Factor,The only way is Essex and all the soaps. However I got invited to the Mobo awards this week and no matter how cold it was there was no keeping me in for this event. I've also been given tickets to the official after party in the Hilton hotel in Liverpool. I'm taking Miss Motors England Claire Greene along with me,I'm really excited about it.
I'm also attending the Liverpool Style awards this week over at Sakura in Liverpool,I haven't been back to Sakura since the opening back in May, That night was amazing so I'm really looking forward to returning for the awards.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I was run of my feet looking for an outfit yesterday for the Mobo Awards, and just wasn't impressed with what was on the high street. I eventually found a gorgeous vintage babydoll style dress,which I've fell in love with. I said to myself ill get loads of wear out of this but I know myself to well that ill wear it once and it will remain hung up in my wardrobe never to be worn or see daylight again. I'm so bad for that.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I was a little gutted Diva Fever got booted out of X factor this week. I know they wasn't the most talented but every week they've had me shaking my booty round my front room. Wish them luck in everything I'm sure they will release something.

Lots of Love,

Miss Motors Hype !!!

2010-10-13T04:25:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls!
I went the launch of Miss Motors Liverpool on saturday over in Newz. The standard of the girls were really high and beautiful. The International has been being held at the same time this week over in Italy, and the UK did amazing taking two titles for best bikini body and Miss Fitness as well as 2nd runner up to the overall title of Miss Motors International.
I also had a photo shoot this week with photographer Adam John, he's a up an coming photographer and fantastic at what he does. The images are being used to send over to a US Publication, I couldn't have been more happier with the results. I also worked with up and coming model Daniel Nathan O'connor on some shots and they are just delicious.

This Week I'm Loving!!!
Now that the winter is here this is where I get into my hermit mode and don't leave the house and start to get into the X Factor. I'm just blown away with the talent in this years competition. I think Cher Lloyd is going to take this years X Factor Crown as she's just herself and unique and something we haven't seen before.

This Week I'm Hating!!!
I watched the new ITV2 series “This is Essex” this week and wasn't really feeling it. I was looking so forward for it to start and then I was a little gutted. Possibly it will be one of the series that hooks you as you keep watching it.

Lots of Love,

viva brazil

2010-10-05T14:57:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I've been all worn out this week and real busy bee. Thursday I attended the opening of a new restraunt in Liverpool called Viva Brazil. It was fabulous with great entertainment from singers to samba dancers. As we didn't manage to eat much on the Thursday the manager invited us back the following night for a complimentary meal and it was lovely. Definitely a great place and I highly recommend it.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
Under eye bags are not and black tired eyes don't look good so to perk my sparklers up I've been using Elizabeth Grants Biocollasis Complex eye pads. There full of collagen which will keep them bags,tired lines and puffy eyes at bay.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
Tan Mark streaks...with summer over and no sun about we all still want a glow but let's ditch the fake tan,orange streaks don't look attractive. I get my skin looking flawless by applying Sally Hansen Airbrush legs spray all over my body including my face before I apply my make up. It gives you a glow as well as flawless looking skin. Fab look on photos also.

Lots of Love,

Exciting week !!!

2010-09-29T06:18:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Its been an exciting week for me, after a busy one filming last week for Channel 4's new reality show “7 days” the episode went live this week. As its all real life when I was sat having dinner with ben I couldn't believe how relaxed I was having so many camera's around me. I'm quite used to the camera no but poor ben who the show is based around was a little up tight but he pulled it off well. Besides its his first episode so by the time the show finishes he will be all settled and ready for round 2 in 8 weeks time.
Was good to see Michelle Keegan won sexiest female again at the inside soap awards. She is beautiful and a nice girl also. Michelle studied at my drama school so sometimes you will catch her in and out of the school.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I've been blown away with how good the series “This is england 86” has been. It really has had me gripped with the issues it has tackled. The level of acting can't be faulted wither. My friend Andrew Shim plays the character “Milky” and he was telling me all about making it when we was working on set last week for feature film “Screwed”.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I've been full of the flue the last couple of days and really under the weather,I think I just ran myself down too much. Everyone seems to be catching it now though so glad I've had it and its now out of my system.

Lots of Love,

progressive week

2010-09-21T13:22:00.000-07:00

Hi Guys and Dolls,
I have been a little down in the dumps since breaking with my boyfriend,but I'm guessing fate always has her way.
I decided to just throw myself into work and network to the max and meet some new people. I went to London this week to attend the Big Brother party in Embassy nightclub,which was brilliant. I got to catch up with Miss Supranational Ireland as we hadn't caught up since being back. We were all a bit worse for wear the next day from all the champagne.
It was straight back to work then as I had a casting for the new DFS commercial over in Leeds and then headed straight to Scarborough to film “Screwed” the new feature film I've just been cast in by director Reg Traviss. Things just haven't stopped as after wrapping filming on Wednesday I went straight to London to start filming the new reality tv show “ 7 days”. Its the new reality show aired on channel 4, it feels strange as there is billboards everywhere for it and commercials all over the channel advertising it, and to think I'm part of it.

This Week I'm Loving!!!
Whilst I was in London I met a lovely lady who works highly for Endemol productions. We got chatting and exchanged numbers. We've arranged a meeting this week to discuss future shows she has coming up. Will be nice to sit and catch up with her.

This Week I'm Hating!!!
I suppose with everything going so well with my career I'd be the happiest girl alive,which I am really thankful for. However as I mentioned I broke up with my boyfriend and I'm still really sad about it. I'm trying to forget about it all and throw myself into work but I still miss us not being the same and just wish we could have worked out. I guess its gonna be a while till I stop missing having him around.

Lots of Love,
Claire-Louise xx

Face of Entice Beauty!

2010-09-15T04:02:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I became the face of Entice Beauty in Liverpool a few weeks ago and went to the clinic last night for some lovely treatments. DR Daud who runs the clinic is a lovely gentleman and a true professional. The Clinic is really relaxing and has a gorgeous oriental feeling to it.
I have just been cast in Reg Tavez's new film. Reg is the director boyfriend of Amy Winehouse and has gone huge within film. I start filming next week which I'm really excited about.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I've had a lot of free time this week and had chance to meet up with all my friends and family properly which has been nice. Usually I'm in and out and hardly caught up on anything,however I'm all caught up on everything and a happy girl I've had chance to spend lots of time with them.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
My dad flew over to Thailand yesterday and he text me to say he had arrived safely over in Bangkok. I wish I had gone with him for the month and soak up the rays. Have a fabulous time dad.

2010-09-08T03:20:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Im still exhausted from my trip to Poland, i can't believe how much of my energy it must have taken. However it was a fab trip so worth everything.
Its been busy since i've been back with photoshoot's and different appointments. I was approached by a huge US publication whilst away and have had to rush a photoshoot in to send some test shots over to the editor's of the magazine.
I had a lovely lady contact me through the Evening Leader this week asking for me to attend the audition's for the upcoming pantomine season. I have to meet with the producers on the 16th september, which im really looking forward to.
I was sent the official headshot from Miss supranational this week which i was really pleased with.

This Week im Loving!!!
i was back in drama school this week which was fun being back after 6 weeks off. i had missed everyone so much, was great being back.

This Week Im Hating!!!
I lost so much weight the past few months that im eager to put it back on. Ive been really eating as much as possible but having no joy. Possibly now my work schedual has calmed down i will start to put a few pounds on.

Miss Suprantaional Final

2010-09-01T05:38:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Wow what can I say the past 3 weeks have been one of the best experience's of my life. Out of all the international pageants I have done this has to be the best one I've done and even express how amazing or life opportunity it has given me. The memories I will share with people probably for the rest of my life.
The final was live and aired to 6 million people, the stage and production was just breath taking and pageant fans around the world have been saying it beat this years Miss Universe in terms of production, which for the organisers must be a lovely compliment to receive.
The overall winner was Miss Panama who was the worthy winner and so shocked at the results herself, after the show all the girls, organisers and production team partied the night away at the after party sipping well deserved champagne, which after 3 weeks of not a sip of alcohol had me a little merry dancing the night to a close.
On the Sunday I went along to watch Miss Poland with my mum as the same production team and TV channel were airing the event. The winner was a beauty with a lovely personality I wish her luck out at Miss World.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
Our Miss World selection for Miss England is being held this week, I'm always shocked at the outcome of this event but I think I have guessed the right winner out of all the candidates this year. I have a feeling Miss Liverpool Amy Jackson will win on the night and I wish her all the luck and aswell to the other candidates.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
I can't believe after just a few days being back in the UK how much I am missing being in Poland. I met some great friends and really missing being in their company.

Lots of Love

Birthday Celebrations

2010-08-25T02:59:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I'm two weeks into my trip in Poland at Miss Supranational, I can't believe how fast the time has past. I can't believe the final is on Saturday, all my preps have been going on for so long that the time has just flew past me.
I watched the Miss Universe final whilst I was out here and was really routing for my friend Tara Miss Great Britain to win, she did a great job though. Miss Ireland was favoured with Miss Jamaica to win however the title of Miss Universe 2010 went to the beautiful Miss Mexico.
It was my birthday on Tuesday and the whole of the Miss Supranational organisation and all the girls threw me a surprise party. I was resting in my room at the time and my chaperone called my room to come to the restaurant and everyone was there singing happy birthday with cake and champagne, Yummy Yum Yum.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
My mum arrived in Poland on Wednesday and I was over the moon to see her. It was lovely to see a familiar face from back home. She will stay with me now till Monday and we will travel home together.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
This is the first year I haven't seen my brother on my birthday, I'm really close to my brother and was a little down in the dumps not seeing him. But he sent me the sweetest txt message which popped a huge smile on my face.

Lots of Love,

Miss Supranational!

2010-08-18T01:33:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I'm having a wicked time over in Poland, its been a busy time however I've enjoyed every second of it so far.
We went into the Studio this week and all the girls recorded individually Micheal Jackson's “We are the world”
which will be released in Poland and perfomed by all the girls from the pageant on the final night.
I'm really excited to listen to the finished single.
We also had our Bikini shoot for all the Media material, I was really happy with my shots and how soft the
photographer made them look,I should receive some of the shots towards the end of the week. When I do I will upload
Some to my next column.
We left Warsaw for Krakow on Monday and we will spend a week here visiting different landmarks and tourist attractions.
We were invited to visit the Mayor of Poland where he met us all individually and was really a genuine sweet guy.
Although I've been having a lovely time out here I haven't been able to stop thinking about my nana in Wrexham, She has
fell Ill again and is back in hospital, hope she gets better soon.

This Week I'm Loving!!!
I've enjoyed being out here and able to think and relax a little bit. Life is just crazy for me when I'm back in the UK,
And whilst I've been out here has made me think I need to relax when I'm home and just concentrate on the important things.

This Week I'm Hating!!!
Because I've been eating really healthy prepared food over here the weight has dropped of me, My mum was looking at picture's
And was a little concerned. Think I best start eating lots of sweets and carbs and put the pounds back on.

Lots of Love,
Claire-Louise xxx

2010-08-11T03:30:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I Arrived today in Poland to represent England in Miss Supranational International. I flew over from Liverpool with Miss Ireland and all we did was natter and gossip on all the way, which made the flight fly by literally.
The weather is beautiful out here and I'm blown away at the friendliness and lovely culture that Poland is offering especially on my first day here, I just look forward to the weeks ahead.
It was manic however the past few days leading up to leaving to come, as I was running around picking up my dresses and national costume for the event. My dresses are out of this world and I feel a million dollars in both my evening gown and national costume, I. Won't ruin the surprise my explaining what the look like as I will print the media pictures after the final in 2 weeks.

This week I'm loving!!!
All my birthday surprises, as I'm away for my birthday everyone gave me my gifts early and I was spoilt. Thank you everyone for my lovely gifts.

This I'm hating!!!
Not taking the time to learn much polish before I arrived, in my free time over here I'm going to teach myself a few lines so I can communicate with everyone out here.

Lots of Love,

Toy Story,

2010-08-04T02:28:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

As im going away on Wednesday to Poland for three weeks to take part in Miss Supranational,I made it my priority to spend as much time as possible with my friend's and family. It's been hard as i've had to fit it in between dress fittings and other preparation's but i'm not going to see them for 3 whole weeks so i'm glad i've made the effort.
I spent time with the girls having Vino (wine) in Liverpool's Livingroom's and we went over to Sapora for a lovely meal which was a perfect evening. I also unleashed my inner child and went to the Cinema with my friend Jake to watch Toy Story 3, i did'nt stop laughing not only at the movie but at Jake sitting there in the 3D glasses, i definately reccomend going to watch the film.
I took a trip down to London also for a farewell goodluck meal for our Miss Universe Great Britain Tara. Im really excited for Tara and wish her all the Luck in the world.

This Week Im Loving!!!
Im addicted to watching E entertainment on sky, i love all the series "Keeping up with the Kardashian's" and "Life in the fab Lane with Kimora" im gonna miss it all whilst out in Poland. I have to peel myself from the TV when i get comfy watching them all.

This Week Im Hating!!!
I lost a little bit too much weight and my gowns for the final have become a little bit too big. Most of the girls are probably on strict diets and om here eating sweets and cakes trying to put a few extra pounds on.

Lots of Love,
Claire-Louise xxx

Thank you to my sponsors!!

2010-07-28T01:49:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I have had an overwhelming response to people wanting to help me on my journey out to Miss Supranational. I have a had make-up brands sponsor me aswell as Russian Hair UK sponsor all my hair entensions. Amanda Chin from KitsaLove has kindly sponsored to design and make my national coustume for the final. I want to say a big thank you to you all for you're kindness.
I have a very anticipated wait this week which im not looking forward to. I find out whether i made my second year of drama school. I love going to The Manchester School of Acting and will be devastated if i didnt make my second year. Mark Hudson condenses the classes down quite dramatically in the second year, i just hope im lucky enough and talented enough to make it.

This Week Im Loving!!!
I had become really sensitive to face and body products i had been using,so i tried Johnsons baby bath wash in Lavender and its worked a treat. Plus i smell great of lavender and its really kind to my skin.

This Week Im Hating!!!
I've been so busy that i haven't seen my dad for atleast two month's. Im missing him loads so im gonna try and get together with him this week for a long and needed catch up.

Roxie O Del Couture

2010-07-21T01:57:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Last weekend was manic for me i was a way with Alfa Romeo at the Pageant on Speed festival over in Malpas Cheshire. It was a great weekend and the team were great to work with, However i was exhausted after the two days.
There was no rest for the wicked though as i had to make a appearance as Miss Supranational England at a Mike Tyson event. The event was held over at the Devonshire hotel in Liverpool on Saturday, I had been working all day with Alfa Romeo and had an hour to get changed and be at the event. I really enjoyed it though and i have to say Mike Tyson is really polite. After greeting everyone all he would say is 'Thank you Mam/Sir' for attending, a real gentleman and it goes to show you can never judge a person before meeting them.
I was up at the crack of dawn monday also, after dragging myself out of bed as i was really really tired, i headed to Liverpool where i ordered my dress for the final out in Poland for Miss Supranational. A designer called Roxie O Del Couture is making my gown and its going to look beautiful.I dont want to ruin the suprise so i will upload some pictures when i wear it at the final in Poland.

This Week Im Loving!!!
I eventually managed to upload twitter to my Blackberry ....Whoop! Im addicted to just pressing the icon and seeing what everyone is saying on there. Im loving Kim Kardashian and all her tweets, as im a huge fan of the Kardashian's.

This Week Im Hating!!!
I can't believe the weather Tuesday just gone, I was away in Birmingham and i didn't see a single drop of rain, however my friend who works in a gym round here and it had flooded under a inch of water.

Lots of Love,

New Little Puppy

2010-07-15T01:45:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

We got a new little puppy this week, its a gorgeouse Lapa Apso. We got her from a Home in Wrexham where the former owner had had her for a few month's, as the previous owner was a breeder and was surrounded by dogs our little puppy was a little shy and scared and needed some one on one attention. She has settled really well now that she has the one on one attention she is like a different dog. We have been laughing as my name is Claire-Louise my family always shorten my name and call me Lou Lou. Its like this dog was sent to us as it's also called Lou Lou from her previous owner. Now i don't know who they're shouting when i hear "Lou Lou" whether it's me or the puppy.

Ive been away again this week working for Alpha Romeo through my agency Front UK. I love working on this promotion job as all the staff are lovely and the girls i work with are always really friendly. Alpha Romeo treat us all really well also and its they are great days out too.

This Week Im Loving !!!
Im going to a event on Saturday at the Devonshire Hotel in Liverpool. Its a Audience with Mike Tyson, Im a huge fan so getting the chance to meet him has got me pretty excited. We have great seats at the front with a 3 course meal, will let you know hoe is was.

This Week Im Hating!!!
I split up from my boyfriend this week and im glad that is has happened as it was my decision. Im really concentrating on my career and want to give it a 100%, i found we were arguing all the time and it was affecting my concentration. Oh well he was only Mr Right for Now not Mr Right.

Miss Supranational England

2010-07-06T16:25:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I've just been asked to go out to Poland on the 11th of August to represent England in the International final. I have never been to Poland before so I'm looking forward to go to Warsaw and see the city and culture of the country. I know a lot of the pageant directors from around the world who work with the Miss Supranational organisation as the majority of them also worked alongside Miss Intercontinental and Top Model of the world which I had competed in the world finals a few years ago.
There's a great bunch of girls going also from the UK and Ireland which I'm really good friends with them all. Although its going to be hard work it will probably turn into a bit of a girlie holiday us all catching up with everything we have been upto. As I have only just found out I don't have much time to prepare, I'm guessing the next four weeks are going to be pretty hectic getting prepared.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I haven't seen my brother Scott for a couple of months and I'm missing him so much. However I'm away in Edingburgh next week for a few days with work and my brother is going to come and visit me as he only lives down in Glasgow. Its going to be lovely catching up with him.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
With the sun being here everyone is looking really healthy and tanned. I'm really fussy about sunbathing in the sun nowadays as I'm scared of the sun UVA damage, I'm not a big fan of the fake tan look either that much. So I was a little stuck and hated looking pale but I've found a body foundation from MAC Cosmetics which looks lovely on the skin when you have a night out or event coming up and gives a lovely sun kissed look.

Lots of Love

Bumper Cars!

2010-06-30T04:41:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,
I was looking at the pictures of Miss Wales this week and what a final. All the girls looked amazing and didn't our Miss Flintshire do us proud. She looked sensational in her evening gown. The event is a lovely event and a lifetime memory which I'm sure all the girls will agree. The Winner was Courtney Hamilton she looked beautiful and ver natural. She is also a talented Classical singer, GoodLuck out at Miss World Courtney!
I had a bit of a bump in my car this week when I was over in Manchester,a taxi driver drove into the side of me luckily no one was hurt. My car just needs a new door so not too much damage. However the guy will not accept liability so it looks like I have a bit of a fight on my hands.

This Week I'm Loving !!!
I'm away working on a Alpha Romeo promotions job, its been a lovely job to be on as I'm working with Tara Hoyos-Martinez (Miss Universe GB). I haven't seen Tara since the final so we have had lots to catch up on. She is such a beautiful person and deserves to do well at the international finals of Miss Universe. I firmly believe she will as she has all the qualities. GoodLuck Tara.

This Week I'm Hating !!!
My good friend chris launched his new event “Mode” this week at Babyblue Nightclub in Liverpool. He smashed the event however the only downfall was he had the Fuel Girls performing as the club didn't do the correct fire procedures so when the girls performed they're fire dance it lead to the fire alarms off. The whole club had to be evacuated. However the event was still brilliant and I'm looking forward to the next one next month.

New Agent !

2010-06-23T05:57:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls !!

I've have had a wonderful productive week; Whilst i've been performing in the play "Wishful Thinking" a really good TV ageant asked me to get intouch with them. I had a meeting with them this week and it went really well. I have signed with them and hoping good things will come from it. I still have another year studying so im taking everything step by step and getting everything perfecto!
It was fab seeing the new family come into "Hollyoaks" this week, as my drama school teacher put forward to the Casting Director the majority of the actors chosen for the roles.Every week my teacher is looking for new talent for the North West soaps and it shows that keeping patient and working hard that the oppourtunities will come.
I upgraded my new phone this week to the new Blackberry Bold 9700, it is white with white leather and im over the moon with my new toy. For christmas my dad gave me a lovely white Samsung Notebook laptop for my christmas gift together they look fab and they both now keep me upto date with all my work.

This Week Im Loving!!!
I can't get enough of the "Black Eyed Peas" new single "Someday" that they have done for Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz's new blockbuster. Its a real summer sounding tune that's going to have us all shaking our Tush on the beach.

This Week Im Hating!!!
All the Negative media about England over in the World Cup. Give the lads a break they have enough pressure on them without us at home putting more on them. I just think we should get behind our country and support them either way.

Wishful Thinking!!!

2010-06-10T02:47:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I was on the edge of my seat last night watching the first episode of Big Brother. My friend Emma Blythe was one of the 80 finalist's at the event waiting to hear if she was going into the house,The camera kept focusing on her and i really thought she was in for a good shot of going in. Later on all the housemate's were talking about emma and how shocked they was she never got in the house. Finger's crossed they may use her later on in the series.
I have been on tour the past week in the production "Wishful Thinking" . The company was Madhatters set up by former Hollyoaks and Brookside director "Illy" and what a director to work with,it was a pleasure and honour to be part of his work. The play was about a young set of friends who are left to deal with their fears,confussion in life and secrets. We were mainly set in the Unity Theatre in Liverpool and went over to Preston for a couple of shows also. The cast was made up of some great Liverpool talent from Josh Bolt and James Johnson who have just appeared in the Liverpool production of "Nowhere Boy", there was also Jack McMullen and Tachia Newall from "Waterloo Road",Kris Mochrie from "Emmerdale" and Alex Sheldon from "Grange Hill". For me as i've just finished in my first year of drama school to be apart of such a great cast was amazing and taught me so much.Everynight the audience was full and they really gave you something to work off.

This Week Im Loving!!!
I have just been booked on a huge promotions job for Alfa Romeo, i will be away a few times this month working all over the country with them.

This Week Im Hating!!!
Over the last few months my brother has been going through a application process to try and get into the police. He had done really well and past all the stages but sadly was'nt accepted this time. fingers crossed next time he will be.

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend! I spent mine catching up with friends and dancing the night away on the tiles.
It's back to a busy time for me now as im a contestant in "Miss Manchester City" for the Miss Great Britain Final this weekend. The history behind this pageant goes back so far and the footsteps you would follow in if you won would be woman who have gone on to carve huge careers from the pageant.Former winners have been Liz Fuller and Danielle Lloyd. The pageant have banned bikini's and made it regulation that the swimwear round must be a one piece. Im more of a bikini girl so im going to meet with a Liverpool based swimwear designer who has sponsored me a one piece couture piece for the competition, Will let you all know how i get on.......!

This Week Im Loving!!!
I have just been asked to join Front UK as a area manager in Liverpool and Chester. I met David who is the director of the company at Miss Universe as his company sponsored the event and provided all the hospitality staff for them. I will work three days a week for him whilst i am still studying at Drama School.

This Week Im Hating!!!
Its been horrible the weather the past few days, i had just got used to the sunshine and having my summer wardrobe on. Fingers crossed the sun is starting to creep back out.

Face Painting Fun!

2010-05-27T00:02:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I have been away all this week on a Make-Up artists course. I was over in Manchester in the Raddison Hotel and had a fantastic time. I was always really good with make-up anyway but this has really boosted my skills, and i learnt so many different techniques and tricks of the trade.
I Also went on a course with Casting Director Michelle Smith who casts for Waterloo Road. When i go for auditions im always thinking to myself what is the casting director looking for, so going on this course was good as you got and insight of everything from the beggining to the end of the process. At least now i know all the tiny details of what they look for.

This Week Im Loving!!!
Who needs to jump on a plane the weather we have been having the last week. I had a brilliant weekend soaking up all the rays... i spent it down the Albert Docks in Liverpool, and my shoulder's were really sunkissed just after a few hours. I surely wont be booking anything whilst the weather is like this.

This Week Im hating!!!
My brother went back to Scotland this weekend, he had been home for a while as we had booked a trip to Monaco.I really got used to having him around again which was nice. Its gonna be a long few days missing him whilst i get used to him not being around for a while again.

Hey Guys and Dolls!

I was invited down to the launch party of Japanese restraunt Sakura over in Liverpool, i was joined by my friends Jaiden Micheal and Lewis aswell as Hollyoaks actress Nathalie Emmanuel and a few of the other Hollyoaks cast. The food was unbelivable and we were showered with champagne and drinks. I also bumped into my friend Jose Baxter who plays for Everton as he was dining with his family and we were then later joined by my friends Chris and Kevin and the cast from Liverpool based play "A fistful of Collars" which my friend Susan Collins is currently appearing in. The whole night was lovely, and if you're ever in Liverpool i recomend popping in for a meal and drinks.
I was also invited to the Classical Brit Awards last week by my good friend Jules Knight from Classical band Blake, I could'nt make it as i had already confirmed my attendance to the Launch of Sakura. However Blake did amazing and they are truely stars. !

Letting my hair down!!

2010-05-12T07:02:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls!!!!

With so much happening the last few month's ,i had become a workaholic and not really spent any "Me Time" and just socialising with my friends and enjoying the simple things in life. My whole week this week all i have done is let my hair down and celebrate what the past few months i have achieved.
Wednesday after my class at MSA i went to watch my friends Susan Collins who used to be in Brookside, in the Play a "Fistfull Of Collars" over in Liverpool.She was amazing and the whole cast put on a fantastic show. It was really toungue and cheek but would reccomend anyone to go and watch it one evening.
I went out for drinks in Liverpool on Friday night at the Hard Days Night hotel bar which was nice and had a lovely relaxing atmosphere to it, so i was able to chat away and catch up with everyone.
Saturday i spent it at a huge event over in Manchester at Bijou for a night called Vogue... i have to say the night was unreal packed full of really stylish beautiful people from footballers to TV personalities, I can't wait for the next event to come around.
Sunday night i was invited down to Circle in Manchchester for the end of season footballers party, i went with my good friend Colette and we looked like a pair of Dollies all glammed up partying away.I clearly did let my hair down and enjoy myself, which was nice as i have a busy week coming this week.

This Week Im Loving!!!
This weekend i also found out one of my best friend's is having a baby...(how excited am i!!!) she will be the first out of my group of friends so will be nice to all share the experience together, Congrats Kirsty!!

This Week Im Hating!!!
One of my best friends is a little down lately and im really feeling like i just want to give her a big hug and make her feel better. Sally is normally the life and soul of any party but she just isnt herself lately. Think all the girls need to rally round and rescue her.

Lots of Love,

Miss Universe Weekend!

2010-05-05T05:27:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I had a fantastic weekend at the Miss Universe GB finals this weekend.Beautiful Tara Hoyos-Martinez won the crown and it suited her perfectly,She was beautiful inside and out.
Vibe hosted a wonderful weekend for us all, from a beautiful dinner at the Malmaison the night before helping us all get to know each other through to a final to match the Latina's.
I also had a photoshoot for Ultimo on the saturday in one of the Malmaison suites for the brand to use in press and media aswell as all the sales material.We also all had a group shot for the national papers in the underwear.

This Week Im Loving!!!!
After the Miss Universe finals i went down to a club in Birmingham called Bushwaka with all my friends. The club was really edgy and glam,everyone in the club just seemed to be beautiful aswell with a mix of funky house tunes swating everyone hips. If you're ever about birmingham definately a club to hit.

This Week Im Hating!!!
When i woke up Monday morning i had lots of texts of people congratulating me. Someone had placed on pageant blogs all around the world that i had won and was all over wikipedia at one point. I even signed on to facebook to receive messages from people over in Indonesia congratulating me.I was a little upset as obviously it was untrue and this should have all been going to Tara.

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Yey my spirits have been lifted by all this sunshine im really hoping it treat's us to lots more over the next few weeks.
I had some great news last week im going to be presenting a fashion show out in Monaco for the Grand Prix. The show has some big names attending from Ralph Lauren and lots more sports and celebrity personalities. My Co-Host is going to be a huge sports personality but im unable to release his name at the moment. Im booked through SMG (Sports Management Group)who represent Christiano Ronaldo and many more and Static Management and cant wait to work with both companies. I fly out just after Miss Universe Great Britain, its going to be like a rollercoaster of events come May but would'nt it be lovely to be blessed in winning Miss Universe GB and hosting the show as the new Miss Universe GB, Im keeping my fingers crossed.
I have set up a fundraising page for people to donate towards my fundraising mission for the Joshua Foundation you can visit the site on the following link.

No Kim Kardashian and Wayne Bridge Arghhhhhhhhhh !

2010-04-07T01:16:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter! i had a lovely and peaceful break as i spent it catching up on lots of sleep that i had missed out on,I felt like a new revived woman on Tuesday after it all.
I've been back down London this week again to see my coach for Miss Universe GB, I had all my hair re-styled late last week so we had to chat over it and make sure that the cut and highlight's were perfecto,which they were. It makes such a change as i've always been so dark but the lightness through it really brighten's my complexion and gives me a more radiant fresher look.
Im arranging a charity car wash this week to fundraise for the Joshua Foundation,
if anyone is around the area pop through and help us raise lot's of money and get that car looking gleaming.

This Week Im Loving!!!
Catching up on all the soaps, Because i have had quite a few days to myself over the holidays its been nice to relax and catch up on all the soaps. I never get time to watch them and im always being given the updates by my nana. It felt nice to just sit there and watch them without clock watching.

This Week Im Hating!!!
I was on Twitter and was reading through Kim Kardashian's Tweet's, Im a huge fan of "Keeping up with the Kardashians" so when i read it wasnt true about her and Wayne Bridge from Man City being an item i was devastated, as i wanted Kim to be a regular on the streets on Manchester.

Exhausting week

2010-03-31T06:40:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls!

I was in London all week last week as i had a diary full of events to attend for up and coming projects. I had an amazing time but i was literally dead on my feet when i returned back home saturday. The past few days i have been in bed really poorly and run down from it all but like they say "They didnt say i would be easy just worth it in the end".
I went to Ikea this week also with my mum as im revamping my bedroom. Im hoping to have it all complete in the next few weeks so i can relax,im having it all black and white with a hint of Zebra print and nice green plants so its tranquil after a hard day and i can come home and clear my mind.

This Week Im Loving!!!
My best friend is a hairdresser and tracked my extension's in for me this week.She is amazing at what she does and im always being complimented on my hair. I have started using Remi Goddess hair with a body curl which is giving me the bouncy look through my hair. I love my hair right now!

This Week Im Hating!!!

Girl In the Capital!!!

2010-03-23T16:12:00.001-07:00

Hey Guys and Dolls,

After a fun night last Friday in Studio Valbonne in Mayfair i travelled back down to London Sunday for the week. Its quite a busy week for me as im down on a training course which has been exhausting.I've been staying at the Radisson hotel and been spoilt with the food here in the restraunt which has done all my gym work no favours.
Im attending the Pre Miss Universe GB final party this Friday at Wiskey Mist in Mayfair which im really excited about.It will be lovely to meet all the other finalist's and members of the team that run the competition.With the final only 6 weeks away it can often become a little nerve wracking at this point but the party will be a nice ice breaker to meet everyone.
I have a meeting this saturday down London also with a pageant coach who has worked with some really succesful names,they help prepare every detail from interview, fundraising and making sure my overall presentation and preparations are prepared well. Its the first time i have ever been to a pageant coach however i know its a good move for me to get the best advice as i really want to be fully prepared and presented to the best i can be for the final as its something that i really want to do well in.

This Week im Loving!!!
I have been really tired this week as ive been working really hard and have been running around like crazy. I was looking a little worn out and needed a little pick me up. I was given some Clarins Beauty Flash Balm and Beauty Flash Eye Revive and it has done the trick. as i havent been getting much sleep the products have been making me look like i have had a good nights sleep. If you need a pick me up i recomend having a try.

This Week Im Hating!!!
I Missed the Bruce Forsythe interview on Pierce Morgan, im a huge fan of Bruce and was intrigued to see what he was asked and said. However i did read that he had married two previous Miss Worlds... Woohoo go Bruce you little hidden Tiger with chatting up and marrying not one but two Miss Worlds !!

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I spent a few days down London this week partying in Cafe De Paris. My mum who runs Miss Supranational Great Britain is hosting her grand final there on April 26th the club owners asked us to go down and experience the atmosphere, it was amazing and the venue is beautiful and perfect.After the success my mum has had running Miss Intercontinental GB the past two years she wants to try and build Miss Supranational GB to the same level.
We have been given our voting line numbers for Miss Universe GB it would be wonderful if you could take a few moments to vote for me, the past few years you have all suported me so much and its an honour to say im proud and come from the community i come from in Flintshire, The voting is a simple process simply you can text 08 to 81118 or call 09012937997 and enter the digits 08 when asked. I need all the help i can as the votes count towards my final mark and this is something im putting my all in to.It would be wonderful to be crowned Miss Universe GB and do you all proud and work with the team down at Vibe all year.

This Week Im Loving!!

The designer who is based in New York is originally from Manchester and does the Urban style briliantly and his collection is fantastic. The brand is Called "Street Famous" and is due for release in the summer over in the UK.
My preparations for Miss Universe GB are all under way as there is only two months to go, i have confirmed my sponsor which is "GucceVIP" i have become really good friends with over the weeks and couldnt have asked for anyone more perfect to sponsor me,they wrote a lovely write up about me on their website check out the link and have a read over.

My gym programe is going well also, i go for an hours work out each morning and then a swim, its the first time ive ever had to go the gym as mother nature surely doesnt want to give me the figure naturally no more, im having to work for it now.
Miss Universe GB work closely with the Joshua Foundation also and im looking to host an event next month to fundraise for them, at the moment im brain storming and thinking of doing something with my sponsor as they are a big hosting company in London. The team from the Joshua Foundation sent me information about their "Absolutely Fabulous Girls Night Out" which is a night walk and sounds brillaint. Im hoping to make one of the next walks in a couple of weeks,its just a small donation each and will be a fun night out mixing with other girls and ladies, if anybody fancies doing it with me please get in touch.

My brother is coming home this weekend from scotland which im really excited about. The last time i seen him was when he came to watch me at the Miss Wales final last july.

However i am away in London so will only get a night to catch up with him.

Ive been hooked on the reality tv show "Keeping up with the Kardashians". I watch it religiously and this week i missed the new episode (Eeeekkkk Arghhhhh!).
