Vote for your favourite celebrity mum and be in with a chance to win a designer handbag, courtesy of Bounty

I must say I am VERY excited about this competition. I have never owned a handbag worth more than £40 and am quite sad that this in on my blog, and that I’m not allowed to choose myself as the winner.

So, what’s the deal?

Well, the race is on for the coveted title of Bounty Celebrity Mum of the Year 2010 and with competition tougher than ever this year, it’s even more important to make your vote count. Celebrity mums like Coleen Rooney, Tess Daly and Charlotte Church have faced a tough year but have come through the other side – putting them all heavily in the running for this year’s official Bounty Celebrity Mum of the Year award.

I know what you’re thinking, ‘since when did slummy single mummy care about Coleen Rooney?’ OK, so maybe it’s a little off topic for me, but we are all mums after all, we’ve got to stick together. And did you not see the words ‘win a designer handbag’ in the title? I’m doing this for you.

To celebrate this year’s award, Bounty is giving one of my lucky readers the chance to win a designer handbag worth £250! If you win, please don’t fill it with nappies and milk stained bibs.

So here’s what you have to do to enter:

Go to the Bounty website and cast your vote. The 20 shortlisted mums have been chosen by the British public for “their ability to balance their hectic public lives with the pressures of parenting, as well as shunning the public eye altogether in favour of family and fighting back in the face of adversity”. So there you go. You can also vote for everyday mums through the Bounty Real Mum of the Year Award.

Next, come back here and leave a comment to let me know you’ve voted and include the answer to the following question:

Q. Who won Bounty’s Celebrity Mum of the Year in 2009?

You have until 5pm on 29 October to vote and leave your comment, after which point I will enlist the help of an impartial child to pick a winner at random.

Good luck!

P.S. If you have come just for the competition, please consider signing up to receive my posts by email (top left) – I offer a full no-quibble guarantee. If you don’t laugh out loud at least once in the next fortnight your membership subscription will be fully refunded.

P.P.S. There is no membership subscription.

    I voted!! ( I did try voting you as my favourite celebrity mum but they forgot to add your name!) The answer is Kym Marsh! :)

    • 8 October, 2010 / 2:03 pm

      What??!! I wasn’t on the list??!! Shocking. Just shocking.

  2. 7 October, 2010 / 4:36 pm

    I voted too – I voted for Dannii Minogue whom I have an inexplicable mum-girl-crush on right now. Oh and I’m a sucker for a pretty bag :) Last year’s winner (as Emma above has said…) was Kym Marsh!

    • 8 October, 2010 / 2:03 pm

      Oooh I know what you mean about Dannii, I feel the same about Cheryl Cole too – they are both so tiny and pretty :-)

  3. 7 October, 2010 / 4:46 pm

    I voted for Jools Oliver because she always looks miserable and has to put up with wozhischops who clearly is too busy being famous to help with all those children. And last year the winner was our Kym off Corrie.

    • 8 October, 2010 / 2:05 pm

      Haha! Being married to Jamie Oliver would be really annoying I reckon. You’d want him just to shut up and sit quietly watching TV and eating crisps for a bit.

  4. 7 October, 2010 / 6:02 pm

    The answer is Kym.

    I voted for Danni Minogue as well because I think she looks great after giving birth.

  5. 7 October, 2010 / 7:24 pm

    I voted.
    Last years winner was Kym Marsh.

  6. 7 October, 2010 / 8:04 pm

    I voted for Jools Oliver because I think she seems like quite a nice person and mum. Last year Kym Marsh won!

  7. 7 October, 2010 / 8:07 pm

    I voted for Kerry Katona.
    Did i *ck.
    What the hell is she doing on the list?
    Last year’s winner was Kym Marsh. God knows why she won it too.
    I voted for the lovely Holly. Although i like her less now that she’s lost the baby weight.

    This year I’m going for Tess Daly. Poor woman has had to deal with Vern messing around and yet still manages to do SCD, care for 2 children and look gorgeous!

    • 8 October, 2010 / 2:08 pm

      Poor old Tess! That must have been a right kick in the guts for her – Vernon is always going on about ‘family’ isn’t he? What an idiot.

  11. 7 October, 2010 / 9:20 pm

    The answer is Kym Marsh! God, I’d love a handbag that’s not giant and stuffed with BumGenius nappies and Cheeky Wipes!

  12. 8 October, 2010 / 7:58 am

    I tried to vote but the process was so onerous. Finally filled out the entire form and it gave me a message that basically said, “Error, go back to the beginning”. Ah well. Good luck to the other voters!

    • 8 October, 2010 / 2:12 pm

      Ergh, that’s annoying, sorry it was a pain :-(
