Nailsea's three VIP celebs have enjoyed a busy few weeks in the limelight.

Here is a round-up of what our ‘stars’ all former pupils at Nailsea School have been doing since we last reported on their activities.

Champion chef Amber Francis 'starred' in a weekend feature in national newspaper the Times while waiting for the arrival of a new baby due this summer.

She also had an article in The Caterer promoting good food for children.

As Christ's College Finchley head chef and senior food educator and The Great British Menu winner she continues to campaign for healthy diets for young people.

However, since that piece was published Amber has come out of the kitchen saying, ‘it’s not easy to step back from the buzz of the kitchen but with a baby on the way, it’s the right move for now’.

Working with Matt Edmonds the pair presented a six-course Guest Chef Night tasting menu celebrating the best of seasonal British cuisine at the upmarket Danesfield House which is just down the road from Tom Kerridge’s Hand & Flowers pub in Marlow.

But most importantly Amber joined a round table of policymakers along with West Lancashire MP Ashley Dalton who is public health & prevention minister and chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty.

Earlier this year, Ashley voted in Parliament for legislation that will open free breakfast clubs in every primary school across the country.

This forum also included CEOs from major food businesses Tesco, Marks & Spencer and Greggs and Amber spoke about the future of school food and children’s health.

She said: “As a chef working on the frontline of these issues, seeing the impact of better food for children and young adults every day I felt proud and grateful to represent that perspective in a room full of decision-makers and changemakers.”

Brave and beautiful Mollie Pearce has been pursuing her career as a media personality, super model, social influencer and staunch supporter of disability groups.

She  has promoted several with product placements on her Instagram account which is followed by 120k+ fans including a timely fake tan spray for the summer and hair & body fragrance mist!

This is all since she was a finalist on BBC1 The Traitors and proved she was a whizz on ITV’s Dancing On Ice with some scary routines.

From being a guest at the Bristol Hippodrome musical about Tina Turner to having a ball at the Ashton Court festival Love Saves The Day not forgetting giving a speech at a Buckingham Palace garden party and walking the red carpet at the BAFTA’s our BBC 1 reality show runner-up has taken centre stage.

Mollie also featured in The Bristol Magazine and appeared on the front cover of The Original Magazine in big photospreads talking about her disability. Mollie has lived with a stoma since she was 18 years old, after being diagnosed with Colitis at the age of 11 and has worked incredibly hard raising awareness for Crohn's & Colitis UK.

Although she never appeared in a Nailsea School production Hope Kenna wrote, directed and took leading roles while at Guildhall School of Music & Drama for a degree course.

The Guildhall only takes 25 acting students a year and its alumni includes Orlando Bloom, Damien Lewis and Jude Law!

Hope said: “I was never really interested in school it was something that I just had to get through before I went to acting or dance classes in the evening!

“I remember getting into trouble in science a couple of times because

unconsciously I was practicing tap steps under the table, when I was told off, I inadvertently started doing it on the desk with my fingers!

“I had the most supportive tutor Mrs Plaw in sixth form, who really took an interest in my auditioning process and assisted me through a few timetable clashes.

“I also met my best friend at Nailsea School, Gemma Hill, now Thompson!

Hope is currently ‘starring’ as young Suzanne in the Just For One Day musical which retells the events leading up to Live Aid, the 1985 benefit
