Rochelle Humes and her husband Marvin are dining out for Christmas lunch this year.
The Saturdays singer will be spending the big day with just her spouse and their 19-month-old daughter Alaia-Mai and so she has decided rather than cook a big turkey that won’t be eaten, the family are going to a restaurant for their festive feast.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I love cooking but there’s no point in just cooking a massive Christmas dinner for me and Marv. That’s a little depressing so we’re going to go out for lunch. My mum is a paramedic and so is my sister and they’re working this year, and they worked last year, because they prioritise people with young children and young families so obviously we’re not so young anymore and my sister hasn’t got children. They’ll be finished by early evening. Marvin’s parents are away this year so I think it will just be us three in the day and then my mum and everyone will come over in the evening."
Rochelle, 25, and Marvin, 29, made a pact this year not to go "mad" and buy lots or gifts for one another, but as the festive celebration gets close the pop star is nervous her husband will have broken their agreement and will make her look bad on Christmas morning.
She admitted: "We said we weren’t going to go mad buying presents this year. You know when you have that year and I’ve said, ‘Well if you’re saying that lets both commit to it then.’ Because I’ll happily not go mad and not buy him loads but I don’t then want him to have got me lots and then I look like a scrooge. You know what it’s like, we don’t need anything and we’ve got our daughter so it’s quite fun to do the whole present thing with her. We’ll see though."
