Summary
Louise Boyce aka @mumastillgotit is a content creator, author and model.
She has 3 children aged 13, 10 and 6, and she has developed a huge following for her fun and largely positive take on motherhood, which she makes fun of, in her online reels.
She told me how she started modelling at the age of 15 and became bulimic to reach the weight goals set by the industry at that time.
After she had her first baby she went back to modelling as a plus size (or size 12+) model, but after lockdown she started playing around with funny films about motherhood. Her USP is that she plays the child using tiny doll’s hands, and her husband is characterised as a bit of a buffoon - which she’s happy to say he’s totally supportive of.
We agreed that laughter IS the best medicine. That, and having a rant with a girlfriend!
Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.
