I too remember the Aveda paddle brush - they'd come back from a break and she'd have it out, vigorously brushing her hair, which was always lighter from the ears down, due to the top half having been covered by her riding cap when she was out in the sunshine.
I also remember the hen night, and how they showed her wedding video on a loop, during the Christmas period when there was no live broadcast.
She was such an incorrigible flirt before she was married, especially when she'd get one of the camera men up onto the therapist bed to demonstrate one of the waxing products they used to sell.
I remember, during a L'Occitane hour, her reminiscing about a trip to Provence, when they'd stayed in the same hotel as a French rugby team and, 'what a weekend they'd had'. Alexis looked more than a little embarrassed and Aly picked up on this and teased her by adding that there was nothing to be embarrassed about because they were both single at the time.
No one was more surprised than me when she announced she was getting married - she even referred to herself as 'the ice maiden' and said that someone had finally made her melt. That's one of the things I really like about her, she's totally accepting of herself, warts and all and will voice what others are obviously thinking, with a 'I don't give a' attitude.
