Tabitha Willett Celebrates Baby Boy with Lavish London Shower
Made In Chelsea personality Tabitha Willett shared glimpses of her extravagant baby shower over the weekend, celebrating with co-stars and loved ones as she prepares to welcome her baby boy. The 33-year-old television star, who recently married businessman Harry Hoare, transformed the private dining venue The Greenhouses in Marylebone, London, with an elegant floral theme for the special occasion.
Elegant Details and Celebrity Attendance
Tabitha paid meticulous attention to every detail of the celebration, even creating a mock newspaper to inform guests about the day's itinerary. Dressed in a plunging yellow floral maxi dress paired with blue heels, she looked radiant while hosting friends and family for an afternoon tea. Among the attendees were Made In Chelsea co-stars Ollie Locke, Beks Collins, and Yasmine Zweegers, with Yasmine sharing a chic Get Ready With Me clip on Instagram before arriving at the venue.
In an Instagram post from the event, Tabitha wrote: 'The sweetest afternoon showering baby boy with so much love at The Green Houses. The most beautiful venue for a special occasion. Delicious food, wine and non alcoholic champagne too.' The celebration marked another milestone in what has been a whirlwind period for the reality star.
Recent Marriage and Family Life
Tabitha announced her marriage to Harry Hoare at Chelsea Town Hall last month, just four months after their engagement. She co-parents her six-year-old daughter Ottilie with ex-fiancé Fraser Carruthers, a 43-year-old restaurateur and nightlife mogul. The couple's engagement was formally announced in The Times newspaper's births, marriages, and deaths section in November.
Harry is the son of late stockbroker Timothy Hoare, who was a friend of Sarah Ferguson, the disgraced former Royal. Earlier this month, Tabitha, Harry, and Ottilie enjoyed a babymoon in Florida, staying at the upmarket Four Seasons Palm Beach resort, where rooms cost approximately £900 per night.
Addressing Online Criticism
During their Florida trip, Tabitha felt compelled to address her followers after receiving what she described as a 'record' number of critical messages about her lifestyle choices. While acknowledging many supportive messages, she expressed being 'genuinely hurt' by negative comments.
In an Instagram Story, she wrote: 'Just a little note to say - the comments and DMs have been so lovely, thank you so much for all the congratulations on baby, wedding, 100K and everything. I owe so much to my audience including a career that has solely supported me as a single parent for the last five years.'
She continued: 'There has also been a record number of nasty, horrible things being said. I try to read everything so I can reply to anyone taking the time out of their day to say something nice but sadly this does mean Harry and I see the horrible things too.' Tabitha urged kindness, asking followers to 'think twice before saying something nasty.'
Future Wedding Plans and Relationship Background
Tabitha and Harry are now planning a 'big white wedding' for next year, following their intimate ceremony at Chelsea Town Hall. Their relationship surprised some Made In Chelsea viewers, who had recently watched Tabitha's brief romance with co-star Arman Pouladian-Kari play out on screen.
However, Tabitha later clarified that she and Harry had known each other 'for years' before becoming romantically involved. Writing for The Wedding Edition, she recalled: 'We stayed in contact but were never close. It was actually January 1st 2025, at my most single, after putting on my vision board for the year that I wanted to find love... That I replied to an Instagram story of his saying we should grab a drink and catch up soon.'
She described their first date lasting three days and immediately telling best friend Ollie Locke: 'I am going to marry this man.' Tabitha explained: 'It sounds quite unromantic, but I think in your 30s, and as parents (Harry has a daughter too), you want to be sure you are not wasting any time. We aligned on everything and it all felt very uncomplicated. Not full of fire or passion, just easy.'
