On Sunday, while in Italy for her most recent shoot with PrettyLittleThing, model Gemma Owen put on a glitzy display.
Model Gemma Owen puts on a dazzling show in Italy for her newest shoot with PrettyLittleThing, donning a backless white silk dress
The 19-year-old ex-Love Island star stunned in a backless white silk dress, striking various poses for the cameras.
The gorgeous dress had a halterneck and clung to her toned body in all the right places, highlighting her beauty.
The stunning woman’s party dress featured a daring thigh split, and she wore enormous, barefoot heels to elongate her figure.
For the photos, Gemma carried a crimson rose and sported her typical bronzed tan and spectacular gold jewelry.
Her brunette hair was tied up and styled into lovely tendrils that framed her face, and she had a dramatic makeup application.
In an honest conversation on Wednesday, Gemma opened out about the devastating loss of her horse, Sirius.
In a YouTube video posted days after the terrible death of a beauty queen at her family’s stables, a dressage rider said she “will never get over it.”
On Tuesday, transport manager Jessica Whalley, 25, fell at work in Manor House Stables near Malpas in Cheshire, and rescuers were unable to recover her.
In the video, Gemma gives an update on her life and her mood after what she calls “a hard few months.”
“The last month or two has been quite challenging” the Love Island star said at the outset. “We’ve obviously lost my competition horse Sirius.”
She went added, “after that, I’m not going to lie, I really really struggled. Just sort of with getting over losing him.”
“It all happened so quickly, it was so shocking and then the sort of whole in my life and routine that it sort of left.”
“As you know I don’t have a few different competition horses – he was my only horse I had for the last five years, I had such a good relationship with him.
Everything was affected by it, and it was especially hard on my self-esteem and general mood. With the death of a pet, I expected to feel sad. Really, it struck me.
“I’m in a better place now, I wouldn’t say I’ve got over it because I don’t think I’ll ever properly get over it.”
“It happened so fast; there was no way I could have anticipated it or even begun to understand it. Overnight, actually.
“I’m fine, I’m doing okay and I’m doing a lot better in myself. So that’s how I am just getting on with it, feeling a lot better and just keeping busy.”
“You feel sort of guilty, we’ve got Faye now – the new horse that I’ve got on lease until the end of the year.”
“But I wanted something to do, not fill that void and him be replaced because he’d never be replaced,” Gemma said finally. But I just needed the horses and that was sort of my safe space.”
She gave an explanation last month after the death of her horse: ‘On Friday we lost my horse of a lifetime due to a sudden and severe illness. Words can’t describe how much this horse meant to me and my family.”
“He was truly one in a million everyone who met Siz will know how amazing and caring his temperament was. He was taken far too soon, he has left us all heartbroken and in complete shock.”
“You taught me so much Siz and I will never be able to thank you enough, you brought so much joy and happiness to our lives and you’ll never be replaced. I love you endlessly.”
A beauty queen who died at Michael Owen’s stables today reportedly fainted and fell off her horse, prompting Gemma to update the situation.
The paramedics at Jessica Whalley’s workplace, Manor House Stables in Malpas, Cheshire, were unable to revive the 25-year-old transport manager when she collapsed.
A relative of Miss Whalley’s revealed on Wednesday that she believed the rider ‘fainted before she fell’ off the horse. What can I say? It’s a terrible shock.’
Earlier this week, Miss Whalley’s friend Allison Samuel said that the beauty queen had died just days before her 26th birthday on Saturday, and that she had fallen from her horse.
But, stable employees said it was too soon to draw such conclusions, labeling the event a “incident” rather than a “accident.”
The Health and Safety Executive announced today that it would not be conducting an investigation into the incident since the sudden death was not considered to be “work-related.”
Ms. Samuel, who used to work with Miss Whalley in stables at Newmarket in Suffolk, told The Sun, “I just couldn’t believe it – we loved her deeply.”
“She was such a lovely girl who really enjoyed her job. She was popular – everyone liked her and she was a lovely young woman. This is so unexpected, she was so fit and healthy.”
“While we have been made aware of this incident, we are currently not investigating the circumstances as we don’t believe it to be a work-related death.”
“While we have been made aware of this incident, we are currently not investigating the circumstances as we don’t believe it to be a work-related death.’ said a spokeswoman for the Health and Safety Executive.
It was reported that after Miss Whalley’s death, Owen and his team broke down into sobs.
“And beautiful too – she could have been a model. It’s such a tragedy – it would have been her 26th birthday this Saturday. We have been told that it was a very sudden and [she] fell from her horse – so it has come as a terrible shock.”
