Ollie Locke reveals star-studded Christmas Day guestlist with TV icon and chart-topping singer

MIC star Ollie Locke and dad of adorable twins revealed his and husband Gareth's plans for a fun-filled “straggler Christmas” - which includes an invite to some famous faces

Ollie Locke - who rose to fame on reality show Made in Chelsea - is truly living his best life. Not only did he say 'I do' to partner Gareth in a secret London wedding in November 2020, but the couple are also parents to adorable twins, twins, a boy named Apollo Magnus Obi and a girl named Cosima Emily Bex. And, getting in the festive spirit, the 37-year-old has revealed they can't wait to celebrate their little ones' second Christmas. Ollie even revealed to OK! that he think Cosi will be walking properly by then.

The star opened up on their plans for the big day, which includes an invite to a reality TV icon and a chart-topping singer. Ollie said: “Well, we do this thing called a ‘straggler Christmas’, which is basically where we invite anyone we know who isn’t from the UK but is here for Christmas to our house. So this year we have a bit of a celeb-filled day. There will be [reality star] Stephanie Pratt, [Broadway star] Billy Porter, [singer] Parson James and two of the Made In Chelsea cast, but I can’t say who. The twins will love it too – they’re very well socialised. We have always thought it was important to slot the babies into our social lives rather than the other way around, so we can still have fun with friends and do things together.”

After their busy Christmas Day, Ollie spilled that the family will be jetting off on holiday to spend quality time together. But before that, he needs to get his Christmas shopping in order, something he admittedly “hasn’t thought about”. Ollie is working with Virgin Experience Days and is considering gifting some experiences to friends this year. “There’s hundreds if not thousands of experiences on the Virgin Experience Days website and it’s extraordinary,” he said.

He continued: "I think, for anyone who’s busy, that would be a lovely gift – to be able to go and give a full day of doing something wonderful. We take for granted things that are on our doorstep. The other day I walked past Buckingham Palace while scrolling through my phone. I was like, ‘What are you doing? Take it in!’”. Ollie and Gareth enjoyed their own Virgin Experience Day out recently, which included indoor skydiving, a trip to a spa, a six-course dinner and a night in a glamorous hotel. “I’m not the adrenaline junkie that Gareth is, so the indoor skydiving was more for him,” said Ollie. “It was fab but also very frightening. When we got to the spa, that was much more my thing.”
