Rayleigh and Wickford MP, Mark Francois, came face-to-face with one of the stars of celebrity show The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) when he helped Abigail Clarke open the new Beauty Baah Boutique in the Berry Arcade, in Rayleigh.
The new boutique has recently been opened by local businessmen Michael Baah and is run by him and his wife, who moved to the Rayleigh area some months ago.
The boutique caters for female fashions from teenage girls upwards and bases many of its signature pieces on looks sported by celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and the girls from TOWIE.
Commenting on the opening, Mark said:
“It was lovely to meet someone from the cast of TOWIE and to share the responsibility with her for opening this new boutique. Having seen some of the goods on offer, I am sure Mr and Mrs Baah will do well, including via there related internet business. I hope they enjoy lots of customers and I wish them all success for the future.”
