Jackie O Henderson and Gemma O’Neill’s Fiji trip for fans postponed

It was touted as being a getaway with Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, Pip Edwards and Celeste Barber, however it seems the $9000 price tag was too steep for fans.

Their “Besties” business launch, a VIP meet and greet with Gwenyth Paltrow, was a monumental success, but it seems Jackie O and her bestie Gemma O’Neill have hit a hurdle when it comes to their next big “experience”.

The radio personality’s business lifestyle venture with O’Neill saw fans fork out up to $2500 to get up close and personal with Paltrow.

But their next event seems to be struggling to fly.

The duo has been forced to “postpone” what was touted as a “trip to Fiji for five days of pinch me moments” due to a lack of interest from fans.

Slated for December 3 to 7 at a cost of $9000, it seems cost-of-living pressures and interest rate rises are hurdles.

In September, the radio host, 48, took to Instagram to make the announcement alongside a series of vacation photos with herself and her daughter Kitty.

“One of my favourite places in the world is Kokomo Private Island in Fiji and I went for a holiday with my bestie and my daughter to rest and reset,” she wrote. “I tried things that were new (tennis and ice baths) I tried things that scared me (night snorkelling) and I laughed A LOT!!! I found the whole trip so healing!! I’m inviting you to do it all with me. Book yourself to come along with me and give yourself 5 days of pinch me moments,” the post read, inviting followers to sign up.

Pip Edwards and Celeste Barber were among those who were going on the trip with Henderson and O’Neil, however Edwards has instead headed to the US where she is supporting her son Justice while he plays basketball.

Earlier this month, Henderson, O’Neil and Edwards were seen dining at celebrity haunt North Bondi Fish, where they were no doubt making preparations for, and discussing, the trip.

Besties is touted as “a space that gives you and your BFF the perfect opportunity to spend more time with each other, creating additional memories together,” according to venture’s website.

It also claims to “take you to the most breathtaking and exclusive destinations on group holiday adventures, plus spoil you with ranges of luxe products specifically and personally curated by us for you”.
