IT’S been an eventful few months for former Great British Bake Off contestant Kim-Joy, who got engaged last summer and married shortly after in a spontaneous ceremony in Las Vegas.
“I didn’t really want to do the whole engagement thing, because we’d already talked about it, so I thought we were just going to get married,” says Kim-Joy, whose partner of nine years, Nabil Homsi, popped the question in their kitchen. “He kept asking where my favourite place is, and I kept saying the kitchen... now he feels like it’s some sort of weird sexist thing, but I’m like, ‘No! That’s what I want!”’
Leaving everything to the last minute, while on holiday in America the couple headed to a chapel on the Vegas Strip and tied the knot in front of an Elvis impersonator, the beaming bride donning a bright orange mini dress for the occasion.
Returning home to Leeds, the newlyweds continued to renovate their house, while Kim-Joy put the finishing touches to her debut graphic novel – more later – and her latest recipe book.
