Gogglebox star confirms new career away from Channel 4 show after becoming a mum

Gogglebox fans are used to see Georgia Bell alongside her best friend Abbie Lynn on Channel 4 every Friday but the new mum has revealed she's made a huge decision about her career.

Georgia's day job away from filming the Channel 4 series is working as a hairdresser in a salon but the TV star is currently on maternity leave after welcoming her first child, a baby boy named Hugh in July last year.

Opening up to her fans on her plans after maternity leave, the Gogglebox star revealed she would not be returning to hairdressing.

Alongside a picture of her son, that she shares with boyfriend Josh Newby, she wrote to her clients on her Instagram Story: "To all my wonderful clients, I just want to thank every single of you for all your support over the years of hairdressing.

"For those who may not already know, after much consideration, I have decided I will not be continuing hairdressing once my maternity leave is over! My next step will be something more suitable to family life." She added: "I can't thank you all enough and thank you so much to Daniel John for everything and being so amazing and supportive over the years."

Meanwhile, Georgia revealed her best friend and fellow Gogglebox star Abbie will be baby Hugh's godmother in a sweet moment aired on the Channel 4 show.

Earlier this month, Abbie was lost for words when Georgia asked her a very special question.

"Abs, I’ve got a surprise for you," Georgia said as she handed her friend a box.

"You need to open it," she told Abbie who found a fortune cookie with a note inside.

"Abbie, I know you’ll teach me how to be as crazy as you," Abbie began reading the note, written from baby Hugh. "And love me all the way, will you be my godmother?’"

Letting out a high-pitched shriek of shock, Abbie ran over to her best friend for a tight hug.

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed. "Hugh wants you to be his godmother," Georgia told her friend.

"You're joking?" Abbie replied to which Georgia assured her that she wasn’t. "I’m gonna be Hugh's godmother! What? Oh my God!" Abbie added.
