Glam beauty vlogger and YouTube sensation Fleur Bell opens up about her trip to Tanzania with Davina McCall for Comic Relief
GLAMOROUS Fleur Bell has made a living out of being beautiful.
After launching her own beauty blog in 2009, the 27-year-old – known to millions as Fleur de Force – is one of the most recognised vloggers in the world.
And she is now set to gain a new audience, after being singled out as the new face of Comic Relief’s fight against malaria in Africa.
Fleur, who has racked up a massive 155million views on YouTube alone, was joined by Davina McCall on her first trip to Tanzania with the charity last year.
The pair developed a close bond as Davina showed Fleur the ropes.
And Fleur told how she ended up literally stepping into the TV star’s shoes – after her suitcase vanished, leaving her with no clothes or shoes to wear.
She told the Sun on Sunday: “Davina was like a mum to me in Tanzania, she just wants to look after you. That was what I got from her.
“When we arrived my luggage had been lost, and it never reappeared. I physically had no make-up, and no clothes to wear.
“But Davina was like: ‘I have spares, you can wear my clothes!’ I wore her clothes for the whole trip, so right from the first day she helped me a lot.
“Otherwise I’d have been shopping in rural Tanzanian boutiques. She also brought along calming herbal teas for me in case I got nervous or upset.
