An I’m A Celebrity.. Get Me Out of Here! legend’s daughter is a pageant queen and leads a glamorous life despite her mum’s grim appearance on the show.
Afton is the youngest daughter of Gillian McKeith and built her career by attending pageants up and down the country, frolicking on the stage with pretty tiaras and dresses. She previously won the Miss Grand Scotland pageant, as well as becoming a Miss Grand United Kingdom finalist.
The multi-talented 23-year-old is also a champion Latin and ballroom dancer and has a keen interest in fitness and nutrition just like her famous mother. Not only that, Afton claims to have a very famous ex – alleging Brooklyn Beckham blocked her on social media following a brief fling.

Her mother made a name for herself after appearing on the reality series back in 2010. Gillian is remembered for rejecting several BushTucker trials during her stint after being voted to do them by the public – and even fainted before taking on challenges. You Are What You Eat star Gillian, 64, has two daughters – her eldest Skylar, and youngest Afton. She shares her two children with her long-term husband Howard Magaziner. The family lives in London.
Daughter Afton regularly leaves the UK to travel to different continents for her job. She regularly posts snaps from her glamourous trips abroad – and in some pictures, she is seen posing alongside Gillian. Her recent post features a picture of herself in a sequin blue bra. She captioned the photo: Leave a little sparkle wherever you go. Sparkly custom-made cheer outfit by @sparklebyandriana!”
Afton – who boasts an impressive following online – attended school alongside David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest child and other showbiz nepo babies, like Guy Ritchie and Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie. During their time at the prestigious private school, Afton and Brooklyn reportedly struck up a romance and enjoyed a fleeting relationship as teenagers.
But Brooklyn – who is now loved-up with wife Nicole Peltz – allegedly left the daughter of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star Gillian heartbroken when he called time on their union. At the time of the split, a then 17 year old Afton said: “I’m better off without him. I’m fine.”
Earlier this year, Afton was reportedly in talks with Love Island bosses to appear on the ITV2 reality show. Around the same time, Afton claimed she Brooklyn Beckham before he tied the knot with his current wife Nicola Peltz Beckham.
She told The Sun: “I didn’t watch any of his wedding. I actually don’t keep up with what he does. But I actually bumped into him not so long ago in Los Angeles at my local supermarket – Erewhon – and her as well. It was extremely awkward. She added: “You know, they seem good. I wish them the best. I hope they have a really long and happy marriage.” A source told The Star at the time: “The romance didn’t last too long but Afton definitely grew feelings for Brooklyn.”
