What do the “GC”, Victoria Beckham & Stacey Solomon all have in common? Well, they’ve all been crowned as the nation’s most favourite huns, closely followed by Katie Price and the nation’s sweetheart Cheryl Tweedy, who rounded off the top 5 as part of new research* commissioned by Moonpig & Hunsnet to launch a new range of cards – fit for all the huns in your life.
Top of the hun podium was undoubtedly Gemma ‘GC’ Collins. Known for giving the world the gift of “You ain’t ever gonna get this candy”, Gemma is a day one hun and so it’s no surprise that respondents agreed she should take first prize.
Second on the list was Stacey Solomon, closely followed by the true Kween of Wags, Victoria Beckham, who took home third place, while Katie Price and Cheryl Tweedy took the 4th and 5th spots respectively.
The research, commissioned by Moonpig & Hunsnet, delved into the hun phenomenon which has taken the world by storm in recent years, as the iconic duo teamed up to launch a brand-new range of hun themed birthday cards, that we’re certain the GC would approve of and send herself.
Respondents also deemed 30 to be the age when Brits reach peak hun status (according to 11% of respondents) and the start of a lifelong journey fuelled by pink, leopard print and prosecco. To mark this milestone moment, the new range features a card in homage to this special age with an editable design which reads: ‘The Qween of Huns is turning 30’.
Available exclusively from Moonpig the cards feature a range of gorge-y designs including an ‘Ultimate Hun Birthday Checklist’ to inspire the most hun-filled birthday (a cheeky take-away and shots with the girlies are a MUST). Other cards include a cocktail glass design which looks classy enough that VB herself would drink from, as well as a ‘You do you dallyn’ card that’s fit for every occasion, because no Hunsnet range would be complete without this iconic phrase.
There’s even a ‘Spill The Tea Hun’ mug, that’s perfect for enjoying your cuppa while having a gossip with the girlies. And, for those wanting to go the extra mile to treat the hun in their life, Moonpig & Hunsnet have also teamed up to create some beautiful multi-coloured blooms called ‘You Bouquet Hun’.
The nation’s top 10 favourite celebrity huns are as follows:
Gemma Collins (21%)
Stacey Solomon (20%)
Victoria Beckham (20%)
Katie Price (19%)
Cheryl Tweedy (13%)
Alison Hammond (13%)
Davina McCall (9%)
Kat Slater (9%)
Jodie Marsh (9%)
Ruth Langsford (8%)
With so many Brits rejoicing in living a life of fabulousness and being unapologetically themselves, it’s clear that the UK is now hun-damentally a nation of good time gals (and guys). The research showed that over a quarter of Brits (27%) – or 11 million adults** – now say they consider themselves to be a hun.
Sarah-Jane Porter, Moonpig’s Global Design & Licensing Director commented: “We’re thrilled to have teamed up with Hunsnet – the ultimate authority of all things hun – for this brand-new range of cards. We know that hun culture is one that many people relate to, or even simply just enjoy engaging with, and so we think this range of cards perfectly encapsulates this movement. We hope it helps the huns of the nation celebrate their birthday – and many other occasions – in true hun style!
Gareth Howells, founder of Hunsnet adds: “Working with the Moonpig team has been so much fun! I got to put my design hat on and look through the archives to make the collaboration as Hun as it possibly could be, from our iconic leopard print design to some of my all-time favourite Hun catchphrases. It was a dream come true to create the range and it’s what all my dallyns out there need in their lives to spread the Hun joy to their nearest and dearest.”
The new Moonpig X Hunsnet range features a range of five brand new card designs, a multi-coloured bunch of flowers and mug. The mug has an RRP of £10 and the cards available in standard, large & giant sizes are priced from £3.89.
