Zoë Foster Blake shares cheeky update about ‘perfect’ girls’ boat trip in Italy turning sour

Zoë Foster Blake‘s Instagram feed has been full of updates from her glamorous trip to Italy, where she has been belatedly celebrating her 40th birthday with her girlfriends and husband Hamish Blake.

Overnight, however, the skincare guru and author’s followers caught a more personalised glimpse into how even the most photogenic of trips might not always be that way behind-the-scenes.

Foster Blake, 41, and a group of her friends went on a boating trip to Capri – an island in Italy’s Bay of Naples – and everything seemed to be smooth-sailing, until she dropped her phone in the ocean and her friends became ill.

“Things were absolutely perfect,” she shared to her Instagram Story, where her 783,000 followers could see the former journalist smiling and relaxing on a yacht.

Foster Blake, however, then shared a video of the boat sailing on the sea and wrote, “Then right after this, I dropped my phone in the sea.”

“And two of my angels vomited from seasickness,” she shared in another slide, where two of her friends can be seen smiling on the island, one lying down holding her stomach.

Foster Blake also shared a series of images from the trip to Capri on her Instagram page, writing, “Took none of these glorious Capri photos because I dropped my phone into the sea while on the boat. 0/10 recommend.”

Foster Blake may be on a girls’ trip, but that doesn’t mean her husband was left behind.

In fact, the 40-year-old Gold Logie winner gave his followers a behind-the-scenes look of his own, sharing a selfie of himself holding two phones – not counting the one he’s taking the selfie on – and a camera with Foster Blake and her friends in the background.

“I’m lucky enough to be on my wife’s belated 40th Girls Trip to Italy and don’t worry I know exactly where I stand (off camera, 3 metres away with the sun behind me, taking at least 5 options per photo, per phone),” Blake wrote on Instagram.

Alongside hashtags including a love heart and the Italian flag emoji, Blake wrote, “#doingmybest” and “#justhappytobeinvited.”

Foster Blake, meanwhile, shared a series of images seemingly taken during that same holiday photoshoot, but her caption was a little different to her husband’s.

“Back when I was a sweet, covid-ignorant baby in 2019, I obnoxiously booked my 40th in Greece, and begged my best friends to come,” Foster Blake wrote on Instagram.

“Happily, amazingly, gratefully, we are finally on That Trip. It’s a slight remix, (new country, two years older, new appreciation for everything) and as I dreamed and anxiously planned and fully anticipated: this is a total Once In a Lifer, and I can’t believe we’re here together. This is school camp, 10x’d. I LOVE THESE WOMEN. ❤️”
