Meg Brackpool

Agree on both of them. Loved Meg when it was house interiors and her time in Perth. But since giving up her previous job and the wedding dress debacle has become really “ooh look at me” type of influencer. She was more authentic before. Not very relatable anymore. They always like each others posts and literally copy each other nail; rings in every finger, funky nail designs, the little hand wave when trying on clothes. Have some originality!

Claire seems to moan about not getting reel likes or those who challenge things she says. She’s said before she can struggle with that side of influencing etc so get off social media and live life more quietly rather than broadcasting it everywhere and showing your kids. I think both have become more insufferable and muted their stories as a result.
Interesting as I thought it was just me who had noticed. They’ve definitely changed, it’s a shame as I loved their style and inspo.

I don't understand why Claire is constantly putting herself out there, yet claims that she's sensitive and doesn't like criticism. The two things don't go together, and I also really wish she'd stop featuring all 3 children so much. Everybody that follows her, and people that don't, know far too much personal information about them all. All parents need to stop using their children for content really, it's not as if they've given their permission.

Used to like Megs account when it was just her home but after the time in Australia I had to unfollow & think il have to do the same with Claire she has become so annoying begging for reel views

Same! And now everything is an ad for something, or a press trip. And how many winter coats has she bought in the last month? despite posting a story saying she doesn't need any new coated this year...

Somebody needs to start a thread for Claire, pretty please. Her latest about the bloody Pilates thing has driven me over the edge, does she think everybody has a room just for a reformer machine? Self-entitlement at its best.

It does, but I imagine they’re just good with money. They’re not living in some massive posh house, half of their clothes are free and he is a doctor remember.

I mean they live in a very nice area in the centre of Bristol. Their house will be worth a lot of money

Claire lives on a completely different planet to the rest of us

Oh I don’t doubt that for one bit. It’s a gorgeous house. I just meant in relation to some influencers who have massive 6 bed open plan homes.

Why does a grown woman need to take shots of herself walking with belly on show? Seriously?

 

[tish1996]

What did she as work as before she quit to do instagram? She keeps popping up on my search feed on instagram but they are all looking the same dressing the same these days

 

[Gossiplove22]

Obvs got the Beyond Nine ad up

 

[flippinpancakes]

Why she is lying on her tummy whilst pregnant! I find that really strange

 

[Violetmissing]

Missed a flight because she was so tired from working…

It was a weekend on the piss come tf on

 

[Violetmissing]

It’s such a classic - influencers are always so much better when they have jobs and do it on the side.
I think I’ve made it up in my head too but I think they’re quite uppity about chelsminter - she seems desperate to be their friend but they’re always the two together and kind of add her as an afterthought. She seems a bit more normal.

I’m pretty she worked at a uni, not sure what she was doing though

I think the location has a big impact though. I don't quite know how big their house is but you're talking minimum £600k for a 3 bed in their area of Bristol.

I do think it's interesting that since her rant about purchasing all her own packages we've had at least 3 adverts!

 

[Pippa2]

Is her accent real or put on?

 

[tish1996]

Just makes you wonder how much they are making to quit work and do it as a full time job

Not the only ones to have left their elderly dog, Brogan Tate did when she was on her rust bucket wedding cruise, and I believe the dog died while they were away!

What's worse though is that I'm pretty certain Claire's husband's father died/was seriously ill while they were in Australia, and Claire stayed in Aus while he flew back to the UK, all she did then was moan that she was having to cope with 3 children on her own! Talk about self-centred...

Agreed! I was conflicted on it as we don’t know the specifics, but seeing as she shared it with the public it was felt odd reading her post about ‘having the best time of her life’ (and of course moaning having to deal with three kids) when her father-in-law died.

They made their own choice which they are entitled to but I felt sad for her husband reading that. She’s very privileged doing what she’s doing - having three kids when cost of living is crazy in the UK, selling a van they spent thousands doing up, renovating etc, I thought read the room but ultimately it their choice as a family and can’t have been easy - but maybe some things should remain more private.

Sorry I’ve had to unfollow.. and I’ve got two kids, but it’s just a bit unbearable when the influencers get pregnant and you have to watch them bang on about it, and then get a load of stuff for free. I sound really bitter there I know..!

I haven’t noticed her getting too much for free YET, and I do quite like her, but we will see as the baby arrives. Ourneutralground on the other hand, wow. The amount of free baby items she’s getting is knocking me sick.

 

[Marza]

How many more bump pictures will she share?

 

[Cherrypie32]

For sure the trip is an ad in some way from the way she’s talking about the transfer bookings etc I don’t mind this sort of content because I feel the sensible recommendations would help me if I went to NY

 

[Sure. name changed]

Has anyone ever heard of the brand she’s just been away with? I can’t believe they’re big enough to be chucking that much at some ‘C’ list influencers.

Yeah they are a huge brand. I think they are known to be good quality but expensive. Probably be less expensive if 30 odd women hadn’t been given £500+ of freebies + the cost of the hotels, experiences etc.
