Social media star Saffron Barker’s mum Wendy opens up about supporting her daughter as well as both her sons Casey and Jed
Wendy Barker, 47, from Brighton, is the mum of social media star Saffron Barker, as well as two sons Casey, 27, and Jed, 20. She supports all three in the careers they've built from posting about their lives online.
She was in a girlband at 13 and they started making their own vlogs, emulating their idol Zoella, who’d become successful sharing her life online. Saffron would come to life creating the videos, but they were just for fun, never uploaded for the world to see. I was quite reluctant and camera-shy at first, but once we’re recording I get into it and have lots of fun. I was flattered that my children’s followers wanted me to be involved. If I appear in one child’s video then the other two badger me to be in theirs.
I love that they’ve documented so much of our lives. When I’m feeling nostalgic I’ll go on YouTube to watch old videos – family holidays and Casey’s proposal to Nicole are particularly special. Also, if one of them’s on holiday I can check their Instagram to make sure they’re safe.
