that metaphor for grief about all her loved ones becoming balloons whilst she tried to stop them from floating away was so beautiful

This is way better than ALL them fake housewives shows! This is real & raw instead of pre planted storyline finances relationships & homes they show

love trewely, it’s a shame because i feel like her family (especially her mum) holds her back from a lot. they obviously only want the best for her but i don’t think that’s the effect they’re having.

She can’t have a piercing but can get lip fillers it don’t make sense

Walking round bare foot on a council estate is brave...

Never heard of this girl before pressing this. Already love her

This girl represents what it is like living on an estate, and until you've lived the life on one, you'll never understand. Poverty is the main driver, the fact she's a gypsy is irrelevant. But she is great, stunning and her values reminds me very much of my younger years. I wish you all the success

She reminds me of a young Gemma Collins TOWIE

I see the negativity in the comments and I really think people need to open their minds. Trew earns more money than most, her brother is an Estate agent and the love the family has for each other is what most parents strive for.❤❤

Some travelers live next to me if you friend them they will be your friend for life. My partners ex kept coming to mine trying to cause problems constantly making threats he let my car tyres down then slashed them with a knife this went on for a few months the police spoke to him a few times but nothing ever got done about it. One night he brought his friends with him he wanted to come beat me up the travelers living next door to me was having a party in there garden before i even blinked i had 10 lads stood right next to me willing to protect me and fight by my side the oldish gentleman spoke to my partners ex I dont know what they said to him but he never gave us any trouble again he deleted all his social media accounts the same night and when we have bumped into him he just keeps his head down and wont even make eye contact. If you ever become friends with travelers they will literally put themselves in harms way to be by your side to protect you. I will forever be graceful to them my partners ex was on a mission to hurt me that night by the time police or anyone came they would have been long gone i would have probably been seriously hurt it was too many of them.

I don’t understand their culture but I really find them interesting. They seem like a nice close family with a lot of love 💛

my heart broke listening to their mother describe her grief journey. the analogy she used, quickly made me understand her. I pray for their healing
