The Strictly makeup artist, who has won awards for her work on the BBC show, looked relaxed as she posed for an Instagram photo. It showed her enjoying the sunshine amid lockdown, wearing a white T-shirt with rainbow print and blue Ray-Ban sunglasses, with a nude lip and flawless skin. It was the first selfie the 43-year-old had shared since the news that she and her ex-husband, Saturday Night Takeaway star Ant, had finalised their divorce earlier that week.
