If anyone deserves a bit of pampering, it is surely gold medallist Jessica Ennis.
After months of arduous training, the London 2012 poster girl finally put her feet up yesterday and enjoyed a makeover.
The 26-year-old, who won Britain’s first gold heptathlon medal in 12 years on Saturday, visited a beauty salon in central London.

A team of hair stylists and make-up artists swept her hair up into a sleek bun and applied heavy eye shadow and fake eyelashes to the usually fresh-faced athlete.
Ennis, who will marry construction site manager Andy Hill, 29, in May, seemed to be enjoying some downtime after the pressure of being one of Britain’s big Olympic medal hopes over the last year.
Looks can be deceiving, however, and the salon in question was coincidentally run by P&G, the owner of Olay and one of Ennis’s key sponsors.

Preened: While the Olay ambassador seemed delighted with the results of her makeover at the Wella Studio, near Regents Park, it certainly provided some good publicity for the cosmetics firm
Lucrative: The Sheffield-born heptathlete could earn up to £5million in sponsorship deals off the back of the Olympics, according to experts
While the Olay ambassador seemed delighted with the results of her makeover at the Wella Studio, near Regents Park, it certainly provided some good publicity for the cosmetics firm.
The Sheffield-born heptathlete could earn up to £5million in sponsorship deals off the back of the Olympics, according to experts.
She already has sponsorship deals with several large companies, including Adidas, BP, Aviva, Omega, British Airways, Jaguar and Powerade.

Her Adidas deal alone is worth up to £320,000 a year, while she was also given a £78,930 Jaguar XKR by the car company this year.
Her extraordinary earnings are a far cry from her modest upbringing in a terraced house in Sheffield, where she was raised by her painter and decorator father Vinnie Ennis and social worker mother Alison Powell.

Athletes and their families have been offered complimentary beauty and grooming treatments at the P&G salons, one of which is in the Athletes' Village, during the Games.
They will offer up to 25,000 treatments over the Olympics as part of their ‘Thank You Mum’ campaign, which celebrates the sacrifices that athletes’ mothers make for their children.
