Morning

6.30am: I’ll be up nice and early as I like to seize the day – plus it’s the first year Sunday [three] is aware of Santa, so it’s going to be really magical.

7am: Having Sunday means I get to re-live all of my childhood Christmas traditions. I will put a sack full of goodies at the end of her bed, just like my mum did for me. I can’t wait to see her face when she sees Santa’s been!

8am: We are massive foodies in my house. We usually go all-out – full fry-ups, plus continental breakfast including cheeses, pastries and smoked salmon! To me, Christmas is all about food and family. Oh, and I’d love to have a boyfriend too for Christmas, that’s top of my list this year! Hopefully we’ll be able to spend it with my mum and sister at least.

10am: After our breakfast feast, we’ll unwrap gifts. I’ll be cramming my mum and sister’s stockings with all my favourites from my Yes She Cann Beauty range at Poundland. Like everyone else, I’ll be trying to budget this year. It’s been a hard year for everyone, but the most important thing is being with family.

12pm: I will be glamming up, I’ve lived in PJs and tracksuits for too long! Me and my mum will be wearing heels, false lashes, the lot. I’ll be doing full make-up using my beloved MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation, Benefit Hoola Bronzer, and Becca Love Glow Highlighter. I’m a high-street girl so my outfit will be from River Island or Zara – nothing new, though.

Afternoon

1pm: Once we’re all ready, we have Champagne and canapés while waiting for the Christmas dinner to cook. Mum usually does the bulk of the cooking, but I’m going to get involved this year.

2pm: We have Christmas dinner. My favourite part is the stuffing balls and pigs in blankets. And there’s nothing more delicious than gammon on Christmas Day – we have turkey, too.

3pm: After lunch (we usually consume about 20,000 calories!) we love to play games around the dinner table, dance and play cards. We used to love watching Downtown Abbey. We will still have Christmas films or music on in the background.

5pm: Sunday is really into slime this year so no doubt I will have to play with that at some point! She got a bike for her third birthday [last month] so we will have the classic post-lunch Christmas walk and she can have a little ride on that. Me and Sunday love foraging in the woods, so before Christmas Day we will collect lots of leaves, twigs and acorns to decorate with. You can make memories from the simplest things.

The OG TOWIE star spent £4,000 on her new nose and following the procedure she confessed: "I do feel prettier and sexier. I can't wait to go out and show off my new look."On TV, from certain angles, my nose would look really awful and the more I watched the shows, the more of a complex I would get about my appearance."

"After getting his new nose, Mario told The Sun: "I broke my nose playing football when I was 11."It didn't bother me until five years ago when Arg and Diags picked on me about how big it was live on TOWIE. I'm proud of my Italian heritage – our nose is supposed to be a striking feature, like David Gandy."But everyone jumped on the bandwagon and I was bullied on social media for years, with people setting up Twitter accounts dedicated to slagging off my nose."

Her nose is suspiciously slim but the barmaid denies any surgery. Before entering the Love Island 2018 villa she said: "Physically I'd say my bottom is my best asset. I'd also say my lips because a lot of people think I've had my lips done when I haven't, and my eyes because my eyes are quite unusual."
