She’s the favourite to win the Great British Sewing Bee after impressing the judges with her clothing creations.
But jewellery designer Nicole Akong has already been a hit in the celebrity world – with fashion icon Amal Clooney among her clientele.
Mother-of-three Miss Akong, 42, will go up against doctor Clare Bradley, 37, and engineer Matt Gage, 43, in Wednesday’s final.

Mother of three Nicole Akong (pictured) is the favourite to win BBC game show 'The Great British Sewing Bee' on Wednesday night
The BBC’s ten-week sewing competition, hosted by comedian Joe Lycett and judged by Savile Row tailor Patrick Grant and costume designer Esme Young, has proved a huge hit during lockdown with nearly five million tuning in to last week’s semi-final.
Miss Akong, from London, is an amateur sewer but has already enjoyed success with her self-taught jewellery skills since establishing her brand Akong London in 2010.
Mrs Clooney has been seen wearing many of the brand’s pieces, with Miss Akong’s jewellery website even including a page dedicated to ‘Amal’s favourite Akong jewels’.

The British-Lebanese barrister, also 42, seems to be a particular fan of Miss Akong’s earring and necklace collections.
The designer, who grew up in Trinidad, in the Caribbean, was taught to sew as a youngster by her mother.
On her way to the final, Miss Akong has triumphed in challenges including making a wrap skirt and creating something out of old clothes from the charity shop.
