A mum who introduced her husband and young children to the modelling industry said they have been a huge hit with major brands - but have suffered abuse and trolling from strangers and people who used to be close to them. Gemma Keogh has blamed the negativity on jealousy because they have "bettered" themselves.
The model quit her cleaning job 11 years ago to pursue her dreams of acting and modelling, starting out as an extra on small shows before going freelance and working her way up. The mum has since appeared on soaps like Coronation Street and Hollyoaks, as well as in adverts for brands like Adidas and Junkyard Golf.
Gemma, from Chadderton in Oldham, also introduced husband Stephen and three children Briannah, 11, Kenneth, eight and Kayden, six, to modelling, and they quickly started getting booked up, the Manchester Evening News reports. They have also worked with companies like Sea Life and Legoland.
