Married At First Sight star Peggy Rose was all smiles and in a celebratory mood as she posed alongside her renovated Land Rover.
The E4 reality star – who tied-the-knot with 30-year-old Georges Berthonneau on the radical dating show last year – was celebration her 33rd birthday. And she had some extra bling added to her wheels as she prepared to drive in style.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Peggy shared a snap of herself posing alongside a chic, black Land Rover Defender – which reports have valued at £60,000. Flicking her hair and flashing a smile, the reality star looked pleased as punch after a modification and performance supplier had upgraded her car.
She wrote alongside the image: “Big thanks to Project Rebel for lighting up not just my ride but also my birthday with the most amazing car glow-up! … Your upgrade added that extra sparkle, making my celebration unforgettable.”
The update comes two months after Peggy revealed her £60,000 Range Rover had been stolen. Fuming at the time, Peggy wrote online: “Still can’t believe my pride and joy was stolen! Please everyone who has one get a ghost immobiliser fitted if you haven’t already.”
Peggy certainly has some cash to splash these days, however, having quit her job as a Technology Risk Partner to become a full time influencer. The TV star was unmasked as the new face of female brand Girl In The Mirror last month – with reports stating she had landed an impressive fee in the process.
She told The Sun after she was unmasked as the new brand ambassador: “I never expected to leave MAFS and get a five figure fashion deal, I thought the show would concentrate on me being an academic geek and not really showing my true passion.
“I’ve got a huge passion for fashion, I always have done but it’s always been hidden. I feel like on MAFS, I was always my honest self…honesty is the best policy and being unique, all of my clothes were unique, rare and one-off pieces.
“I think the way I held myself on MAFS, I wasn’t really scared to stand out from the crowd, in terms of having respect and morals and speaking out on what I thought was right.”
Meanwhile, her romance with Georges continues to go from strength to strength – with the pair continuing to be an item since the show concluded last year. This week, they delighted fans as they shared highlights of a trip to Disneyland Paris together via social media.
The couple posed in front of Sleeping Beauty’s castle and mingled with characters from Alice In Wonderland. And Georges also shared a gushing statement to mark Peggy’s birthday this month too.
He declared online while sharing a snap from their reality show wedding day: “Happy birthday to the better half, my partner in crime and someone who just makes me better! Have the ‘best’ day ever and I can’t wait to see you later and continue making memories! Team Geggy with be just Team G without the Leggy Peggy.”
