Hi everyone, hope you had a great summer!!

I’ve loved the reaction to the new show, Fill Your House For Free (Channel 4), it’s got some great tips so check it out if you haven’t seen it yet!

This month I am supporting Save The Children who are doing great things to help the awful situation in Syria.

Despite the challenges, Save the Children has reached over 4.1 million people across the region including over 2.6 million children. They are providing food, supporting hospitals, helping schools to keep running and offering specialist emotional support to children. If you want to help please take a look at their website.

Hi guys! Did you know that every day, around 11 children in the UK are diagnosed with cancer? Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens is a campaign to raise money for research into cancers affecting children, teens and young adults. With your help we will find cures and kinder treatments for young people facing cancer.

I met the beautiful, cheeky, creative and confident Sumiya who was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. We spent a wonderful afternoon doing what we love most – fashion design! Find out more about what Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens does, and how you can help, on their website.

Thank you! xx

Hello Lovelies!

We all love a bit of cake!! x

Hello my darlings, I hope you all had a good Easter break!

I’ve only just got back from an amazing trip to Australia and Malaysia where I was filming a new food related programme! – watch this space for more details!

Also speaking of food, you have to check out the new show on ITV at 12:30pm called Gok’s Lunchbox, you’ll love it!

This month I want to help UNICEFs efforts in Syria. They are one of the few agencies working for children inside Syria and in surrounding countries, as well as for children seeking refuge in Europe. More than 8 million Syrian children are in urgent need of life-saving aid. Please help by donating whatever you can afford online: unicef.org.uk/donate/donate-now/

I cannot actually believe it’s February already! I am working flat out on two new shows- Off The Rails with my bessie Fearne Cotton, and a fun new cooking show called Gok’s Luchbox! – Long hours but lots of fun!!

This month I want to give the charity ELOP (East London Out Project) a mention. They do a fantastic job looking after the wellbeing of LGBT community members in East London, including counselling, support groups and generally providing a voice for the community. ELOP has been supporting for 21 years and makes a difference to over 5000 people a year. If you would like to help, please donate  here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a great New Years Eve. I’ve been down in Plymouth at Panto and will be here until the 16th January. It’s been full on but sooooo much fun! So a new year with new beginnings! Why not have a January clear out of your wardrobes and at the same time help my charity of the month – Hospice UK.

Feel free to take your clothes to your local hospice charity shop, or donate to Hospice UK www.hospiceuk.org/donate to support hospices across the country so that more people and their families can get the care and support they need and deserve, when they need it most.

Here’s to a healthy, happy and fun 2016 for all of us! xx

It’s finally December and I am getting geared up for the Panto season where I will be performing in Plymouth this year as The Fairy Gokmother – I can’t wait! Come see me!!

This month I am putting my best foot forward and taking a slipper selfie to support Slippers for Shelter. Donate £3 to Shelter, wear your slippers to work/school and take a “footsie” and upload on Twitter/ Instagram/ Facebook using #SlippersforShelter . It’s happening Friday 4th December.

Finally I want to wish you lovely people a early Happy Christmas, and a fantastic New Year! Have a great one, you all deserve it. Xx

As if it’s November already!!

Where has the year gone?!

I hope you’ve packed your Halloween outfits away and have your winter wardrobes at the ready?

This month I am focusing on a charity that has worked tirelessly since the 1970s to support women and children who experience domestic violence. Refuge helps thousands of women and children access safety across the country every day with a range of services from emergency accommodation to legal advocates. One in four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime which is a shocking statistic.

Please feel free to donate whatever you can to help Refuge continue its great work: refuge.org.uk/single-online-donation

Thank you lovely people, xxx

Loving this weather! It feels like a second summer, but you can tell Autumn has definitely arrived. My new Sainsbury’s Tu collection, inspired by the 60s, launches online and in store on 13th October. There are some fab Autumn pieces so be sure to check it out!

That’s not all that is happening in October. Me and my Fashion Editor friends are getting on the Fashion Wagon for an entire month in aid of charity. We are abstaining from alcohol to help raise money for Oxfam.

Please give what you can by donating on our Fashion Wagon Just Giving page so we can help the MILLIONS of people who have fled Syria to neighbouring countries!
