“A British actress has lashed out at Australian influencer Tammy Hembrow for allegedly ‘copying’ her wedding ideas and having no ‘imagination’.”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
Betsy-Blue English took to Instagram on Thursday with a now-deleted post in which she accused the fitness guru, 30, of stealing her wedding cake idea.
Both women had towering eight-foot-tall tiered cakes at their nuptials, which were all white and decorated with the same white bow embellishments.
Betsy-Blue, 28, tied the knot with her musician partner David Stewart in late August in Paris, France, while Tammy married Matt Zukowski in Byron Bay on Saturday last week.
The online personality, who boasts 165,000 Instagram followers in comparison to Tammy’s 17.3million, took exception to some of the details the Aussie included in her wedding.
‘I wish people would get their own imagination sometimes,’ Betsy-Blue captioned an image she shared of Tammy standing on a chair to cut the top of her towering eight-foot-tall cake.
Followers have since slammed Betsy-Blue online, accusing the actress of having ‘mean girl vibes’.
‘It’s a cake lol people are so weird,’ one person wrote on Facebook beneath a screenshot of Betsy-Blue’s original post, which she has since deleted from Instagram.
‘It has been done before her. She thinks she’s the first person to get an 8ft tall cake? She’s got like 160K followers. Never heard of her until now,’ someone else added.
‘I’m confused. It’s giving “if I wear red no one else can wear red” Mean Girl vibes.’
A third commented: ‘It’s just a cake. Can’t tell me there isn’t another person who’s copied this too. Lord knows if I could afford a cake taller than me, sis is doing it.’
‘God, she acts like she’s the only one that’s ever had a large cake and used a chair to cut it,’ yet another said.
‘Does she mean the tiered cake that has been around for centuries or the chair? What else was she meant to stand on? Her husband?’ one user wrote.
Tammy credited Australian-based cake designer Marina Machado for creating her huge confection, though it’s unclear where Betsy-Blue sourced hers.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Tammy’s representatives for comment.
For her big day, Tammy looked stunning in a strapless ivory and blush pink gown that featured an elaborate tulle train and a corset bodice, highlighting her ample cleavage.
She completed her look with a long ivory veil and her hair was styled with long hair extensions in a half ponytail with a middle part.
As the couple held hands, Tammy became emotional and broke down in tears while they exchanged vows and said: ‘I do.’
She was supported by her bridesmaids: her sisters Amy, 34, and Emilee, 32, along with her half-sister Ava Olympia and Starlette Thynne.
The four siblings wore matching black strapless satin dresses while holding gorgeous white bouquets, and their hair was styled in neat buns.
Matt looked dapper in a black tailored suit, similar to his four groomsmen.
He opted for a dark jacket and matching trousers, along with a white dress shirt, bowtie and leather shoes.
The reality star appeared emotional as he read his vows to his new wife from a piece of paper, with Tammy watching intently as he delivered the romantic speech.
Tammy was seen repeatedly wiping away tears as he delivered the sweet vows.
A source tells Daily Mail Australia that Tammy’s father Mark missed the ceremony due to a last minute injury.
The Hembrow patriarch was forced to skip the majority of the nuptials in order to get treatment for a sore leg.
Mark is believed to have gone to the hairdresser for a haircut before the wedding when something snapped in his leg—he therefore missed walking Tammy down the aisle.
He went and got crutches and turned up after the ceremony—making an appearance then going to hospital.
The stunning venue is the same property where cricketer Pat Cummins had his wedding, and where Hollywood start Matt Damon quarantined when visiting Australia during the pandemic.
Several notable guests were invited to the star-studded nuptials, including Ruby Tuesday Matthews and her rarely-seen fiancé Shannan Dodd.
Em Davies and Anna McEvoy were also in attendance with their respective partners, as well as best friend Lily Brown and her Ironman boyfriend Jett Kenny.
Tammy and Matt got engaged in December last year following just three months of dating.
The jet-setting pair were engaged in the Maldives late last year, before heading off to Greece and Bali for luxury holidays.
Tammy has been engaged twice before, the first time to influencer Hawkins, who she shares her son Wolf and daughter Saskia with.
Her second engagement was to champion Ironman Poole who she shares daughter Posy with.
