The TikTok influencer is now a TV star. But this independent, opinionated woman still lives with her mother, on the Clacton council estate where she grew up. Will she ever leave? And how does she feel about Mum\u2019s curfew?<\/p>\n
Since eyes are turned to Clacton-on-Sea and a certain candidate facing questions about a \u00a35m \u201cgift\u201d<\/a> and a byelection battle with a man dressed as a bin<\/a>, let\u2019s take a look across the town at a young woman in a pink house and be reminded of some values \u2013 generosity, decency \u2013 that appear absent from much of public life.<\/p>\n Trewley Precious Temple, who became well known on TikTok, where she has 1m followers, is the star of the Channel 4 show Secret Lives of Gypsy Wives<\/a> and is fast becoming a phenomenon. The show features her mum, Tina, her sisters Honey, Pearl and Ruby-Anne and her brother Jamie; they\u2019re like the Kardashians, says Temple in every episode\u2019s intro, if the humourless US reality TV family were \u201cfat and broke and on benefits\u201d. What comes across most strongly is the family\u2019s love and big-heartedness, not just for each other, but for their wider community, too.<\/p>\n
