TOWIE bombshell Shelby Tribble will be blowing out 28 candles on a frosted cake this weekend, marking her first birthday as a mum.
The Plymouth-born model gave birth to a baby boy with boyfriend Sam Mucklow last month, naming the newborn tot Abel Ashley.
Watching her family grow, Shelby has entered a new stage in her life, having risen to fame as a pageant queen and a reality star.
Crowned Miss Great Britain in 2014, the mum-of-one was a fixture on TOWIE from the 22nd series onwards, before quitting the show last year.
To wish Shelby a happy birthday, we’ve dug through the archives to find some of her most sensational looks throughout her career, from gold latex dresses to bikini shoots by the sea.
Grease Lightening

Shelby took her cue from one of the most iconic looks in cinematic history for a fancy dress party last year, channeling Sandy Olsson from 1978’s Grease.
In the closing scenes of the film, Sandy, played by Olivia Newton-John, ditches her girl-next-door persona and turns femme fatale in black leather trousers and red lipstick.
Shelby pulled off the look to a tee in May 2019, teasing her brunette locks into a perm and puffing on a fake cigarette.
A leather bustier, an off-the-shoulder jacket, and scarlet stilettos topped off the look.
Shelby wore the outfit for the TOWIE season finale, sharing a snap to Instagram alongside the legendary quote: “Tell me about it, stud.”
Bikini handstands

Showing off her athletic side, Shelby performed some acrobatics during a trip to Mauritius last winter.
During a romantic getaway with her beau Sam, the pair spent the night in a boutique jungle hut, complete with a glass ceiling and white cotton bedsheets.
Donning a sunflower-yellow bikini, the pageant queen got creative with her photos from the trip and flipped her body into a handstand.
The lovebirds spent their Christmas together in the tropical holiday destination, travelling to the island’s waterfalls and white sandy beaches during the jaunt.
Golden goddess

Chigwell’s Sheesh Restaurant is a popular haunt with the TOWIE crowd, regularly hosting their explosive parties and nights out as a gang.
In March 2019, Shelby rocked up to the Essex venue for the TOWIE launch party, working a skintight gold cocktail dress.
Complete with a plunging neckline and latex finish, the figure-hugging frock looked sensational as she posed beside a portrait of fellow bombshell Marilyn Monroe.
Making reference to her bust in the mega-tight gown, Shelby wrote: “It was a bit nippy.”
Plugging the evening’s antics, she added: “Had the best night drinking endless amounts of shots at @sheeshchigwell for @towie launch party.”
Steamy sauna snaps

Making the most of her Sunday, Shelby headed to a sauna for a day of pampering back in 2018, determined to end the weekend on a high.
Working a scarlet bikini for the occasion, the reality star looked sensational as she perched on one of the wooden benches inside the steamy room.
Letting fans know where to shop the look for themselves, Shelby revealed her bikini – which featured silver clasps and spaghetti straps – was from online retailer Oh Polly.
Adding the water-droplet emoji, she added the caption, “Sauna Sundays…” and sat back to watch the thousands of likes roll in.
Pretty in pink

TOWIE is known for its blow-out bashes, with the show’s cast donning evening gowns and fancy dress for nights filled with champagne and drama.
For the show’s 2018 finale, Shelby was a vision in pink, working a tulle embroidered gown fit for a queen.
Her brunette locks were swept up in a regal up-do, and the off-the-shoulder frock featured floral embellishments across the bust.
The ballgown was a Dress 2 Party purchase – which is a brand that specialises in occasion wear.
Black lace lingerie

Outside of her work as a reality star, Shelby has built up a career as an influencer, modelling wares on social media as a side hustle.
Back in December 2018, the brunette beauty sent her fans into meltdown when she donned a lace lingerie set by eco-friendly brand Wolf and Whistle.
Posing in her bedroom, the undies were complete with sultry ribbon ties and scalloped detailing, showcasing her stunning curves.
Branding the outfit as a “cute little set,” Shelby offered her followers a promotional code to nab the look for themselves.
