Side by side: Blogger Caroline Thomas attended Thursday afternoon’s event with her mother-in-law 

Reality TV star Tanya was hosting the event after having a tummy-tuck in January, an operation she had long yearned to undergo.

Recently admitting she is ‘over the moon’ with the results, tANYA told new magazine how her husband of seven years responded to her surgery.

She said: ‘Phil kept saying, “No I love your stomach as it is!”, but he did also call it my mum bum bag!’ 

She explained that despite Phil being happy with the results, he was nervous ahead of surgery because of her prior ‘bad boob job’, which saw her end up with a haematoma – where trauma or injury damages your veins and arteries.
