My Big Fat Gypsy Communion: Meet the nine-year-old girl who spends 24 hours getting dolled up for her service
With their thick fake tan and WAG-style hair and nails, the girls are perfect versions of the gypsy brides millions of viewers have grown to love
With their thick fake tan, heavy make-up, and WAG-style hair and nails, the girls are perfect versions of the gypsy brides millions of viewers have grown to love.
But there is one crucial difference. Nangirl is only nine and she and her pals are not dolled up for their weddings, but for their first Holy Communion.
My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding is back, and it’s more outrageous than ever.
“It’s very important you look good,” Nangirl declares. “There are going to be loads of people there. I don’t want them to say ‘Oh God look at her, she is ugly’.
“So I can’t have ugly nails, ugly make-up, a spray tan with patches or an ugly dress. God wants to see you looking good.”
The nine-year-old is speaking from her “salon of choice” called Sin City as she gets one of her regular treatments.
She has begun getting ready more than 24 hours before her first Holy Communion begins in the Midlands.
On this year’s Big Fat Gypsy Wedding series, viewers will see everyone pulling out all the stops as the stakes get higher and the dresses get more outlandish from a much earlier age.
The smash hit Channel 4 series, which pulled in over eight million viewers last year, returns with a quartet of cousins all trying to outdo each other with bigger dresses, more make-up, bigger nails and deeper tans.
Nangirl’s cousin – and biggest rival – Margaret explains: “It’s a really big day and the most important thing is the dress. And receiving Jesus Christ.
“We are Catholic, this is what we have got to do.”
