The lead up to christmas is always chaos. We all turn into machines it seems who think we must do every task humanly possible before the world stops on Christmas Day.
Today I’m tired.
My eyes are stinging, my hair looks like a nest and head is saying “goooo to bed Fearne, eat Quality Street and don’t get changed out of your pj’s”. Basically my body knows its xmas but my work schedule doesn’t.
It’s all been fun though. TOTPS was so fun this year! You’ll get a crimbo day Top of the Pops and a New Year’s Eve special. The line up is incredible. Calvin sans pineapple turned the studio in a rave, Kasabian rocked it and Robbie literally made a girl in the audiences dreams come true! Watch Xmas day to see what I’m on about.
I still have shopping to do and I’m having a party at my house that I have not prepared for yet in any way! It’s an on radio party on Wednesday with special guests so listen out for that!
Still lots to do. I have my priorities in order though. My house is fully decked and looks like an elf’s grotto!!
Merry christmas you gorgeous lot and I’ll see you in the next decade
I don’t think any of us realised what this trip back to Africa meant until we were actually all standing amongst the masses with nets in our hands.
It was certainly a poignant and emotional trip and extremely positive too.
On day one we got a chance to climb all over thousands of nets in a warehouse. Nearly a million bought down to you lot donating so thanks!
The second day lead us to a huge field in a community who desperately needed mosquito nets. We stood at the foot of the crowd and handed them all out to thousands of smiley faces. An incredible day!
The rest of the week was spent doing more net distributions and I visited some families in villages who had recently received nets. It was so nice to be taken around communities and see bright blue nets hanging in every home! Many families getting a stress free night for the first time in ages!
This trip made climbing that blimmin mountain so worthwhile!

Looking good is pretty important when you’re in the public eye as much as Fearne is, so it’s only natural that she would want one of the best coiffeurs around tending to her locks - Mark Hill. Fearne and Mark first met years ago when she was in dire need of some hair care help and since then he’s transformed her do from a straw-like horror to the gorgeous golden barnet she currently rocks!
When Mark did Fearne’s hair recently -check out the video HERE- the pair thought it would be a great idea to share the love (well, it is nearly Christmas after all!) and giveaway some amazing prizes from Mark’s fantastic hair care product range. There are three incredibly special prizes on offer including the chance for YOU to get a makeover haircut from Mark himself!
