The wife of Gogglebox star Baasit Siddiqui has shared a message of support after a fire ripped through her family’s florist.

Melissa, who has been married to Baasit since 2014, took to Instagram to share a statement after the ‘heartbreaking’ fire last week at the florist, which is owned by her mum and sisters.

Six fire engines were sent to tackle the blaze above the Enchanted Rose Florist in High Street, Alfreton, on Friday.

According to The Mirror, Footage from the scene showing flames ripping through the roof above the business, which sits below a beauty salon.

Firefighters used an aerial platform to tackle the blaze while locals watched on, and it was put out in a few hours.

Melissa shared on Instagram that despite the blaze, the florist would remain open for pre-orders, with Mother’s Day typically one of the busiest days of the year for florists.

She wrote: ‘No weekend photo dump this week… just a post to let everyone know that although @‌enchantedrose_florist my mum and sister’s florist, is unsafe to enter following the recent fire in the unit above, they are still open for business on a pre-order basis only.

Delivery and collection are still available (from a couple of doors down). They are working from a room borrowed from another fantastic local business. With Mother’s Day fast approaching, shop small if you can and get your orders in. 

‘It’s a heartbreaking situation for all. Running a small business is hard anyway, but to have it removed overnight is just awful. 

‘They don’t know if/when they can enter again due to damage… could be weeks/months but the local community and fire service have been amazing at trying to help them retrieve a few bits and set them up temporarily elsewhere. Keep going guys – you’ve got this.’ 

The florist itself also shared a message for its customers on social media, praising the community for their ‘amazing’ help, and noting a funeral director nearby which has provided space for them to complete orders.

Lisa, who co-owns the salon alongside her mum, Shirley and sister Kelly-Marie said: ‘We would like to thank all the incredible people and businesses who have offered us help at this time. Thankfully no one was hurt.

‘Our business is everything to us, it was a dream of ours for so long and we are determined this will not be the end, we are here and will come back stronger from this.

‘A special thank you to Barry at Trafford Lowe Funeral Services who has kindly taken us in and let us carry out our orders in his back rooms just a couple of doors down from us.
