As I scroll through the vibrant world of social media, I find myself captivated by the infectious energy and determination that radiates from Keely Hodgkinson. Her recent Instagram post announcing her latest achievement, a stunning mural painted in her hometown, is yet another testament to her incredible journey.


On Saturday, Emma Willis, Jess Glynne, and Keely Hodgkinson all donned their finest attire for The National Lottery’s Team GB Homecoming event held in Manchester.

Host Emma, at the age of 48, was absolutely stunning and exuded elegance while wearing a striking yellow maxi dress with cuts that accentuated her style.

As a fashion enthusiast with years of experience, I must admit that the ensemble caught my eye immediately. Its low neckline, cut-out panel at the bust, spaghetti shoulder straps, and flattering fit were not just stylish elements, but a perfect blend of sophistication and modernity that resonated deeply with me. The way it accentuated one’s silhouette while maintaining an air of elegance was truly remarkable, making it a standout piece in any wardrobe. In my opinion, this ensemble is a testament to the power of timeless design and forward-thinking fashion choices, and I wholeheartedly recommend it for those seeking to make a lasting impression.

Emma significantly increased her height with a pair of transparent, puzzling high heels and accentuated her style even more by wearing a golden heart pendant necklace.

She was joined on the red carpet by her co-host Vernon Kay, 50, who cut a dapper figure in a black double breasted blazer and tailored trousers.

Hold My Hand hitmaker Jess, 34, also put on a very leggy display as she graced the red carpet. 

The performer was absolutely stunning, donning a plush crimson jacket, a coordinating miniskirt, and transparent black tights.

She momentarily exposed her well-defined waistline, choosing to wear only a slim black bra beneath her jacket.

She increased her height noticeably by wearing patent black leather, diamond-encrusted slingback heels, and completed the look with a pair of sleek, oval black sunglasses.

Jess opted for a flawless palette of makeup and styled her red locks up in an elegant updo. 

In her Team GB jacket and track pants, 22-year-old four-time world medalist and Olympic champ Keely looked athletic while striking a pose with her gold medal.

The athlete wore vibrant, bulky sneakers and arranged her golden hair in a sleek, half-up-half-down style.

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but feel the thrill when The National Lottery pulled off the grandest of welcomes for our triumphant Team GB athletes as they returned home from the unforgettable Paris 2024 Olympic Games!

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d say this event was a fusion of sports, music, and entertainment, all coming together in an extraordinary way. It showcased remarkable collaborations, especially designed to honor the Olympic champions.

A stellar line-up of UK artists also performed including Clean Bandit, Jess, Pete Tong, and Rag’n’Bone Man. 

On Sunday, 18th August, I’ll be glued to my screen, as I can’t wait for the show – the one where Emma and Vernon take center stage to honor the remarkable athletic accomplishments and unwavering commitment of these sporting heroes. This exciting event is set to air, as Radio Times has announced!

After Keely, a resident of Wigan, successfully clinched the 800m women’s final, becoming the first Olympian in her career to win a gold medal – shattering the British record that had stood for 20 years, set by Dame Kelly Holmes.

1. She reached the end first in 1 minute, 56.72 seconds, nearly a full half-second quicker than Ethiopia’s Tsige Duguma who came in second at 1:57.15.

Through her gold victory, she etched her name into history as the inaugural British athlete to claim athletics gold in this year’s sports competition.

In just a few short days following her remarkable achievement, a mural was unveiled on Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter, honouring Keely.

The Team GB star shared the thrilling news with her 514,000 Instagram followers by posting an update on her account.

Posting a series of photos, Keely presented a relaxed image in her dark blue denims and a short black blouse. She paired the outfit with a petite Chanel handbag.

She left her golden hair loose and chose a minimal makeup look, radiating beautifully before the artwork.

Painted over a red shipping container, the mural featured an illustration of Keely with the caption ‘All the greats don’t stop at gold’. 

The mural was commissioned by sports giant Nike and also featured the band’s slogan ‘Just Do It’.

Next to the post, Keely shared: ‘At last, back home! Had the pleasure of witnessing this amazing artifact crafted by Nike and numerous gifted people!’ or simply, ‘Home sweet home, finally! Got a glimpse of this fantastic work made by Nike and numerous skilled individuals!’

Over the past six months, this project has been a work in progress! It’s truly heartening to witness its completion and to have it displayed in my very own hometown!
