Since her realty TV “Chelsea’ days, Millie has turned her focus towards a career in the eclectic London fashion scene launching her new book ‘Made’ at an exclusive London party alongside husband, celebrity rapper/songwriter Professor Green. The event was attended by some of London’s elite including friends of the couple, former Miss Australia and model Erin McNaught and her UK husband, fellow rapper and musician Example.
Millie is hugely influential online and has broken the one million barrier on Instagram, proving to be an important voice in fashion and fitness. Her own immensely popular blog and website are also destinations for hundreds of thousands of fashion-craving fans.
A genuine sweetie, Millie’s great-great grandfather invented toffee as we now know it and her great grandfather invented Quality Street! And, after reading our interview with Millie, we’re sure you’ll have a sweet tooth for this young woman too!
