BB’s Imogen gives Ospreys a pampering
Quote:
NTERNATIONAL mud studs James Hook, Mike Phillips and Sonny Parker have shown they’re real men – by getting waxed, fake-tanned and pampered in a beauty salon!
The international rugby stars may not have done a full Henson by getting leg waxes like their well-groomed pal Gavin. But the sporting trio jumped at the chance of some free beauty treatments when their pal and former Big Brother star Imogen Thomas invited them to her new Cardiff salon, Imogen’s Nails on Albany Road.
Stopping short of a full body wax and facial, Hook stripped off for a perma-tanned bod, scrummy-half Mike Phillips had his eyebrows waxed and Parker opted for a mini-male manicure.
And we’re sure you’ll agree, the Ospreys players, who we’re used to seeing scrumming down, scrubbed up very nicely!
First up was boy wonder James Hook, who had no qualms in stripping down to his white Calvin Klein boxers for a hose-down in the spray-tan booth. On Imogen’s recommendation, he had the number 10 strength, the darkest colour available.
He said: “I thought I was getting a massage!
“I’ve used tinted moisturiser and products like that before, but this looks good, doesn’t it?
“I just hope it comes off my boxers!”
Mike, whose brows were actually already in pretty good shape, said: “I’m not going to have my chest waxed – that hurts too much, doesn’t it?
“I’m going to have my brows sorted out because they’re a bit bushy at the moment.”
After the five-minute treatment the tough guy’s verdict was summed up in two words: “That hurt! I feel much better now. I feel faster, stronger and I look better –so look out!”
Sonny, who admits to shaving his legs before big games, chickened out on having them waxed, choosing instead to soften up his “horrible rugby hands”.
“I’m going for the manicure. It’s good to do something a bit different, isn’t it? I’ve got horrible rugby hands though – all scarred and broken fingers.
“I’ve worn black nail polish before, but don’t think I’ll be trying the pink!”
After having his nails trimmed and buffed, Sonny said he was pleased with the results.
“Now they look nice and shiny. I’m going out for food with friends tonight so will show them off then.”
Model and businesswoman Imogen, 25, said more men should go in for a bit of girlie indulgence.
“A few men came in last week to have spray tans and seemed really embarrassed asking for one – there’s nothing to be embarrassed about! It’s about looking good.
“I like a man who takes good care of himself.”
