I feel robbed by Covid — it’s given me the white wedding blues, says Jess Wright

WITH the fate of her wedding hanging in the balance thanks to Covid, Jessica Wright admits she is finding it tough to look forward to her big day.

So the former Towie star took a break from wedding planning to model spring trends with her mum Carol.

The two are very close, both are size 10 and they raid each other’s wardrobes.

Carol says: “We share clothes all the time.

“I’m always taking Jessica’s clothes. In the past she’d come round here for a party.

"If she didn’t like what she had on, she’d run up to my wardrobe and find something I’d had for five years.

“I’d say: ‘Are you having a laugh?’ We’re very opinionated. I’ll always say if it looks lovely or if that doesn’t suit you.”

Jess says: “We are typical Virgos. We can disagree but then we’ll see each other’s different ideas and agree in the end.”

Jess is due to tie the knot with businessman William Lee Kemp, 37, this June in Majorca.

But travel uncertainty means she doesn’t know if the wedding will go ahead.

Jess, 35, says: “Being a Covid bride is just crap. We have every hope it might happen in June but we just have to wait and hear what the announcements are.

“Knowing the fate of your wedding two months before it’s supposed to take place in another country with a lot of guests is about as bad as it can get as a bride.

"It’s totally ruined the whole experience for us.

“I feel robbed. I probably won’t get excited until I’m literally walking down the aisle. By then, I just don’t even think I’m going to care any more.”

Jess is trying to stay positive, but it is difficult.

In January, Carol, 62, and dad Mark senior, 64, both got Covid-19, and last week her uncle Edward, who Jess said was like a second dad, lost his life to the virus.

Jess says it has been a very stressful few months but as Mother’s Day nears she is counting her blessings and feels lucky to have Carol by her side.

She says: “I’ve got a wonderful family, I’ve got my health and I’ve got a lovely fiancé. My mum’s better than me under pressure.

“She keeps a brave face on for me then when she’s off the phone she probably cries.

"She always says, ‘Calm down. Don’t get stressed, it’s going to be all right’.

“My mum’s been to every bride’s dress visit I’ve had, in her mask, of course.

"I’m very indecisive — in the end it was between two dresses — I’ve driven her mad.”

Carol is also mum to model Natalya, 20, and telly star Mark, 34, who recently signed for Crawley Town football club to play alongside his brother Josh, 31.

She says: “I’ve not even got my dress sorted yet. I don’t know what I’m going to wear because it’s been so up and down.
