Stars SLIMMED Down at Flower Show?! You Won’t Believe It!

BBG News

The stars were out in force on Monday as they attended this year’s Chelsea Flower Show. 

At the annual flower show held in the beautiful gardens of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, Gemma Collins, Ferne McCann, Tasha Ghouri, and Myleene Klass were among those who looked absolutely stunning, as if they were blooming flowers themselves.

Reality TV star Gemma from TOWIE, having shed weight from a size 26 to a size 20 within a span of three months through the weight loss injection Mounjaro, showcased her newly trimmed figure in a semi-transparent gown featuring flowing caped sleeves that she donned over a slip.

44-year-old television personality wore her sleek icy-blond hair in an elegant bun and added sparkling cat-eye sunglasses to her look during the outing, adorning herself with diamonds.

In a similarly fashionable manner, her fellow actor Ferne, aged 34, donned a vibrant lemon yellow midi dress adorned with a deep neckline and floral pattern.

With a cheerful demeanor, she stood next to her mother, Gilly, who was elegantly dressed in a stylish multi-layered gown and a crisp white jacket.

At another location, Strictly celebrity Tasha made sure all attention was focused on her at the gathering, with her donning an oversized floral head adornment and accessorizing her cochlear implant to sparkle similarly.

She matched the clothing item with a mini nude dress featuring ruffles and a long cape, which she held across her arms.

The Love Island beauty, 26, finished off her look with nude heels and large gold earrings. 

As I stepped out, I couldn’t help but feel confident and stylish in my vibrant watercolor-print green dress, just like the charming Myleene did at her recent outing. The frock, with its elegant design, accentuated my legs perfectly.

The tight outfit showcased a daringly high slit at the thighs, revealing her well-defined legs and tall platform shoes.

The celebs will be joined by the King and Queen for the first glimpse of this year’s  

This year’s Chelsea Flower Show will be first seen by the Monarch, the Royal Consort, and famous personalities, following a challenging dry spell that has impacted the show’s preparation process.

For several decades, England has experienced one of its driest beginnings to spring on record. As climate change progresses, it is expected that periods of drought, heatwaves, and floods will become more frequent. Some gardens at the Royal Horticultural Society’s annual gardening festival are therefore experimenting with what the future garden might be like under these conditions.

However, it’s worth noting that some gardens aren’t intentionally created with a specific message. For instance, Monty Don, in his debut – and what he considers to be final – garden for the show, concentrates on everything canine-related.

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I, being an ardent dog lover, have joined forces with the show organizers to bring forth the magical RHS and Radio 2 Dog Garden! This enchanting haven is specially designed for our canine companions, featuring a lush lawn for frolicking, water spots for wallowing, and trees that cast soothing shade. Not only that, but it’s adorned with beautiful plants like foxgloves and alliums, creating a picturesque scene for our four-legged friends to enjoy!

The television gardener justified adding the plants, explaining that they coexisted harmoniously with his pets in his personal garden. He advised pet owners to use good judgment when managing plants near their dogs.

He shared with the PA news agency: “I aimed for a garden at Chelsea that didn’t convey a specific message, didn’t create an exotic atmosphere, was firmly rooted in 2025 England, and was abundant with plants I own or are readily available from local nurseries, as well as trees or shrubs native to this country.

The garden, free from judgment, is being moved to the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in a nearby location. Any harmful plants will be carefully removed prior to the move.

On Monday, Charles and Camilla, accompanied by Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, will visit a renowned gardening exhibition. During their tour, they’ll discover their dogs’ names engraved on the garden paths.

The initial garden created under the King’s patronage, orchestrated by Joe Perkins, emphasizes resilience during climate change by showcasing hardy ‘pioneer’ plants that can flourish in both heavy rainfall and prolonged drought. This design symbolically reflects the tenacity of the youth empowered through Charles’ charitable foundation.

Among several green spaces, they are preparing for a time ahead that may bring harsher periods of dryness, intense heat, and heavy rainfall due to global climate shifts.

Following the success of the rewilding garden, which mimicked a beaver-altered terrain and won Best Show Garden at Chelsea in 2022, it is now the Wildlife Trusts’ turn to introduce a piece of the wild to the flower show, with their rainforest-themed garden.

The garden highlights the endangered Atlantic temperate rainforest ecosystem, originally covering roughly one-fifth of the land in western Britain, Ireland, and the Isle of Man. Today, it occupies only 1% of the total area.

At the Chelsea Garden, an initiative by the Trusts, collaborating with insurance firm Aviva, will spotlight their endeavors to revive and safeguard the ecosystem. This display also aims to demonstrate the beneficial impact of eco-friendly gardening on the native fauna of Britain.

In the lead-up to our grand spectacle where barren soil transforms into lush gardens within mere days, I, as the dedicated follower and admirer of Zoe Claymore’s work, share her vision. She aims to craft a garden that embodies the essence of ‘flawlessly imperfect’.

Her inspiration comes from the lush Dart Valley in Devon, teeming with ferns, mosses, and lichens adorning rocks and trees. The garden features plants that tumble over rocky ledges, and a gracefully bent silver birch to underscore nature’s delicate balance and tenacity amidst harsh conditions like storms.

‘My job is to make the British public love temperate rainforest,’ she said.

Due to the arid environment, keeping the plants that thrive on moisture, such as ferns and mosses, adequately watered has proved challenging while building the garden. This is because they require frequent spraying with water.

Show participants responsible for garden design and nurseries have faced challenges due to some plants blooming prematurely or failing to flower on schedule, which is attributed to the prolonged dry and sunny conditions. Consequently, these exhibits have needed adjustments to accommodate the weather conditions.
