Channel 7's Tom Williams threw a 3rd birthday party for his daughter. It was a huge disaster.

Over the weekend TV presenter Tom Williams and his wife, fashion designer Rachel Gilbert, hosted a birthday party to celebrate their daughter Storm turning three.

It was a total mess.

In fact, as Williams, 46, told his mates Fitzy and Wippa on Monday, the Peppa Pig-themed day just went from bad to worse.

The father-of-two, who hosts Channel 7’s The Daily Edition, said that while the “very pink” theme was meant to delight his little girl, it left some of her friend’s parents seeing red. (And not in a Daddy Pig’s actually a big ol’ socialist way.)

Thank you @hamiltonisland for a wonderful family holiday. So many memories, we can’t wait to see you again!

First off, Gilbert had to drive out to the far northern suburbs of Sydney to source her Peppa Pig costume, which unfortunately looked like it had been “on a three day bender”.

“The desired reaction from the child wasn’t what we thought it would be,” Williams admitted.

“There was screams of get her away. Don’t let her near my party… Mums and dads from the kindy that she goes to go, ‘look mate, I just don’t think it’s working out with Peppa she’s frightening the children’.”

“Peppa Pig waved once, turned around and walked back to her Range Rover,” Fitzy chimed in.

“I mean, everything else was great, we had cardboard cut-outs of Peppa everywhere. There were pink sandwiches and stuff like that, but it was one disaster to another,” Williams said.

Unfortunately, the drama didn’t end there, either.

“It was then time for the cake and the cutting of the cake. And then of course the candles had to be lit, but there wasn’t a lighter in sight,” Williams said.

“So off I set around the park trying to ask all the other nice families whether they had a lighter.”

The latest from This Glorious Mess:”I took a sugar-free kid to a party and fed her all the chocolate in the world…”

He found one, but was only allowed to borrow it on the condition he lit the number three-shaped sparkler on the spot, which happened to be at the back of the park.

“I had to run as fast as I could before the sparkler would get out,” he said.

Of course, it fizzled out on arrival.
