Growing up with a mother who had a unique obsession with feces was certainly an interesting experience for Gillian McKeith's daughter. Gillian, a well-known TV personality in Scotland, gained fame for promoting various pseudoscientific ideas about health and nutrition. Many will remember her from her show "You Are What You Eat" and her stint on "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!" where she endured Bushtucker trials and even fainted on screen.
Off screen, Gillian is a proud mother to two daughters, Skylar and Afton, both in their twenties. She shares them with her husband Howard Magaziner. However, being the daughter of a mother who was notorious for checking human stool samples did not come without challenges. Afton revealed in a recent interview that her mother would check her feces as well, despite being encouraged to eat a healthy diet from a young age.
Afton also shared that her sister kept a "poo chart" and would update their mother on the status of their feces. But it wasn't all about poop in the McKeith household. Gillian also instilled a love for healthy eating and fitness in her daughters. Afton says that dancing is her favorite form of fitness and it has become a way of life for her.
Afton also praised her mother for her extensive knowledge about health and nutrition, which she considers a "gift." She herself has acquired 20 qualifications in the field and is passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle. However, there were also challenges that came with having a mother with such an unusual job. Afton and her sister received unwanted attention from their peers, with some even bullying them because of their mother's career.
Despite the challenges, Afton is proud of her mother's work and has even followed in her footsteps by pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. She trained in performing arts at the prestigious Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts and has already landed roles in theatre shows, musicals, and even TV and film. She recently flew to Los Angeles to work on an independent film, which is set to release in 2025.
When asked about her dream job, Afton revealed her desire to appear on the hit show "Bridgerton." And she already has the support of a famous Netflix star, Adam Sandler, whom she recently bumped into and wished her luck on her upcoming project.
Afton's interactions with famous stars do not stop there. She also previously dated one of the Beckham boys, Brooklyn, after attending school with him. Although their relationship did not last, Afton did get to meet David and Victoria Beckham, with the Spice Girl even being protective of her eldest son.
As for Gillian, she has taken her work to other platforms, sharing her health advice on TikTok and even creating Cameos for her fans. She also returned to the jungle for the all-stars version of "I'm A Celebrity" last year, where she clashed with Shaun Ryder before being eliminated on day five.
Gillian's daughter is not the only one following in her mother's footsteps. The beloved UK TV icon recently officiated at the wedding of Björn Ulvaeus, and a long-awaited sequel to an iconic 90s comedy has begun filming for Netflix. It seems like the McKeith family is making waves in the entertainment industry in more ways than one.
