However, the Chantoozies founder, 62, broke down when confronted by Olivia’s daughter Chloe, 38, who was seen wiping away her cousin’s tears.
After recovering, Tottie continued to greet those who attended the annual fundraiser in support of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre.
Tottie and Chloe dressed in retro sportswear in homage to one of Olivia’s biggest hits, Physical.
Wearing a hot pink leotard, Tottie also donned a white crop top that read Let’s Get Physical, the most memorable line from the iconic ’80s song.

It comes after Chloe revealed she was refused permission to record her mum’s most famous single.
