Gemma Owen has sent the internet into a total meltdown with her stunning promotional shots for her new PrettyLittleThing collection.

The Love Island runner-up, on Tuesday, took to her Instagram handle to drop some pictures from the collection. She wrote in the caption, “In love with my NEW EDIT with @prettylittlething that is NOW LIVE!”


She added, “So amazing shooting this in Sicily with the incredible team… love you all. SHOP NOW."

Gemma posed first in a white bustier top and floral skirt for the new fashion shoot for the British fashion giant. The-19-year-old looked sensational in the see-through corset.

In the second picture, she is seen rocking a beige corset top and matching trousers.

In another shot from the new collection, Gemma turns heads in a champagne-coloured backless maxi dress. She is seen in a black bodycon jumpsuit too.

Owen was announced as a new ambassador/celebrity product endorser of PLT in August last year.

In a statement, PLT said that it had signed a year-long partnership with Owen, who came second on the reality TV show this summer with partner Luca Bish, and that she would be working with the e-tailer on her own PLT collections.

Sharing her excitement, Owen said, “I wore PrettyLittleThing throughout my time on the show and now being announced as one of their newest ambassadors alongside some incredible talent including Love Island alumni is really special. The team has been amazing and I'm excited to get to work and start designing some collections for you all.”

PLT's CEO Umar Kamani added: "Gemma is the perfect person to represent the PLT consumer; she's smart, confident, ambitious, and has a much loved, relatable style. We… look forward to sharing lots of exciting content, collections, and shoots with our customers."

Heavier bleeding and iron loss linked to long Covid in women, study finds

Highlights:

  • Survey of more than 12,000 UK women finds heavier, longer periods linked to long Covid
  • Symptom severity rises and falls across the menstrual cycle, worsening during periods
  • Tests reveal inflammation in womb lining and hormonal changes, but no damage to ovaries
  • Iron deficiency risk may exacerbate fatigue, dizziness and other common long Covid symptoms

Study highlights link between long Covid and menstrual changes

Women with long Covid are more likely to experience longer and heavier periods, putting them at increased risk of iron deficiency, researchers have found. The findings come from a UK survey of more than 12,000 women, which also showed that the severity of long Covid symptoms fluctuated across the menstrual cycle and often worsened during menstruation.

Findings from UK survey

Between March and May 2021, 12,187 women completed an online survey. Of these, more than 1,000 had long Covid, over 1,700 had recovered from the virus, and 9,400 had never tested positive. The study revealed that women with long Covid reported heavier and longer periods, as well as more frequent bleeding between cycles, compared with other groups.

Global warming may drive higher consumption of sugary drinks and ice cream, study warns

Highlights:

  • Hotter days linked to greater intake of sugary drinks and frozen desserts
  • Lower-income households most affected, research finds
  • Climate change could worsen health risks linked to sugar consumption
  • Study based on 15 years of US household food purchasing data

Sugary consumption rising with heat

People are more likely to consume sugary drinks and ice cream on warmer days, particularly in lower-income households, according to new research. The study warns that climate change could intensify this trend, adding to health risks as global temperatures continue to rise.

Sugar consumption is a major contributor to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and has surged worldwide in recent decades. The findings, published in Nature Climate Change, suggest that rising heat could be nudging more people towards high-sugar products such as soda, juice and ice cream.
