By the later months of 2020, some of us were finally able to get out into the world after a rough lockdown period, and we were privileged to start celebrating our milestones exactly how we wanted to.
However, for Michelle Bridges, she was still in her own quarantine as she had to stay out of the general public eye while she filmed Celebrity Apprentice on the down-low.
But now, fans of the personal trainer are finding out exactly what went down after Michelle’s big reality TV win in the third episode, which took place on her 50th birthday in October last year.
Going by the pics, one thing is for sure – it looks like she managed to have a lot of fun even though she wasn’t able to broadcast her successes at the time.
Feeling coy about not getting found out, Michelle posted a cheeky Instagram story making fun of her other contestants.
The image was a still from last night’s episode with a funny caption that encapsulated her thoughts during the board meeting.
“Me, wondering who knows it’s my birthday on this episode!?” wrote Michelle.
Her Celebrity Apprentice co-star, singer, Anthony Callea had sent her some incredible looking cupcakes with various pictures of them together.
Their friendship is one of the wonderful serendipitous bonds we have had the joy of witnessing.
If you’re going to win, you may as well succeed on your very own birthday, and Michelle, who celebrated her half a century milestone with a big old ego boost, was treated to a post-victory birthday dinner.
There were sparkles, good food and cocktails in Michelle’s behind the scenes birthday video. Her Celebrity Apprentice co-star, Camilla Franks was also there to cheer the birthday girl on as she waved her sparkle around.
In a text over the video, Michelle wrote, “Post WIN and birthday celebrations with good friends.”
However, wins and cocktails aside, the most important part of Michelle’s birthday shenanigans was getting to celebrate her significant birthday with her loving son.
The trainer posted a picture on her Instagram story of her son, Axel giving her a big hug and she captioned the moment, “And the most important birthday gift of all! A hug from Moo.”
