Following the fame of celebrity Big Brother and the Holiday Inn, they wanted to fine out how Kate has been doing over the Christmas period since they last spoke.

The famous housemates, including Vinnie Jones and Stephanie Beacham, donned adult-sized romper suits made in Ashington for one of their tasks.

The All in One Company only had about 24 hours to custom-make the suits but expect to benefit from the TV exposure.

The business was set up by Kate Dawson, who originally worked in child care.

Made-to-measure

Kate said she started the business six years ago after a nanny looking after her daughter said her sleep suit looked so comfy she would like one too.

At first she worked from home but in 2008 expanded to open a factory employing six staff.

The all-in-one sleep suits are made-to-measure (sizes go up to XXL men’s!) and basically look like giant baby romper suits.

If you’re not afraid of looking like an oversized infant there are 150 different patterns to choose from.

However, the Celebrity Big Brother team opted for plain white suits for the housemates.

Part of the task involved the celebrities being pelted with things like cat food and custard and the producers wanted it to show up!

Vogue

Kate said it had been hard work to get the business off the ground and lots of people had told her she wouldn’t be able to do it.

She said: “It is very hard work. I’m at the factory sometimes 18 hours a day but it’s worth it.”

The company was named business of the year in the 2008 Wansbeck Business Awards and the sleep suits have also been mentioned on the Vogue website.

The news story hit the national press yesterday and today it appears to be an international story in USA and beyond.

If you’re disturbed by the rather abnormal notion of having a total stranger warm your hotel bed for you by laying in it, by all means pass this story by.

The Holiday Inn, which operates over 4,000 hotels worldwide, will offer a “human bed-warming service” for the next week to help keep guests stay warm inside, whilst it gets colder outside. This literally involves employees laying in your bed for five minutes before you get in.

Once your sheets are suitably warm, they climb out and you climb in. I didn’t quite have the nerve to ask Holiday Inn whether you could pay to have them hold you through the particularly frosty nights. After all, if you’re going to replace a hot water bottle, you might as well do it properly.

Each human bed-warmer wears — and I’m not making this up, I promise — special “toasting suits”, which are essentially dressing gowns which profess to maximise sheet-heating efficiency.

The complimentary service will operate as a trial in London’s Kensington Forum Holiday Inn, and must be booked for nights between 18 and 25 January, for sheet-toasting sessions between 9 and 11pm.

Assuming the trial is a not-at-all-creepy-in-the-slightest success, maybe you’ll see strangers in your hotel bed country-wide later this year.

We supplied some All in Ones to Big Brother which were used in a task called Kamikaze Karaoke on Sunday (17th January). The Kamikaze Karaoke task will be shown on Big Brother tonight.

You can view a video here or see some of the pictures below.

So don’t leave anyone out in the cold, all-in-ones are fantastic for mums, dads, grans, nephews, cousins, friends and everyone else we can think of!

If you haven’t tried it already, customised all-in-ones can now be made in our flash builder, there are hundreds of fabrics plus ears, feet and mittens to choose from (and of course full length zips and drops seats!) so creating your perfect all-in-one couldn’t be easier!

Please check the size charts before ordering and we hope you all enjoy your new all-in-ones….

Just wanted to confirm that I received my order three days before Christmas.

My daughter who is a very “grown up” 14 year old – was not looking forward to Christmas this year until I gave her the All in One on Christmas Eve.  What a change – she loved it, loved it loved it and has practically lived in it everyday since.

Just to see the joy it has given her – made my Christmas.

Cant thank enough – what  a wonderful garment  - all her friends want one.

Thank you from a very satisfied and happy mum
