Before I’m A Celebrity was even confirmed, she was revealed as the odds-on favorite.
And speaking ahead of her time in camp, Frankie Bridge laughed off the pressure to become Queen of The Castle, joking: ‘I was favourite for Strictly and I didn’t win that!’ After her stint as a BBC dancer, she came in second.
On Saturdays, the 32-year-old singer also talked about her plans for weight loss. She was particularly concerned by trials that she is most afraid of.
Pressure? Frankie Bridge, 32, laughed off the pressure to become Queen of The Castle after it was revealed she was odds-on favourite to win I’m A Celebrity
Frankie said that she didn’t like the idea of Frankie being chosen as I’m A Celeb’s winner. Although it adds some pressure, it really doesn’t mean much.
“People are able to see the world in ways you don’t know.” That’s why the show is so interesting. It’s impossible to predict how others will feel about you.
“I feel more pressure than my family and friends. Plus, Strictly wasn’t my favorite show so I felt more pressure. Star laughed.
Frankie said that he preferred the outside shower to one located in Australia. He added: “We have curtains, so it’s more private.
You can laugh it off! The joker for the pop stars was: “I was favourite on Strictly but I didn’t win that!” Following her 2014 appearance on BBC’s dancing program (pictured), where she was second
Real talk
“I haven’t had a shower in a group effort, so it’s going to be very easy for us to get close. It’s going to be a great event!
Campmates can often shed significant weight on I’m A Celebrity by eating a simple diet of beans and rice.
Asked if she’s worried about potential weight loss, Frankie admitted: ‘I haven’t really thought about that side. Everyone does seem to [lose weight]. It’s more important to me that I don’t get hungry.
It will be a great Christmas! Asked if she’s worried about potential weight loss, Frankie quipped: ‘I’ll have missed out on mince pie time, so I’m sure I’ll make up for it when I get out!’
“It’s all part of the Christmas lead up and I’ll miss out on mince pie, so I’m sure that I’ll make it up when I get there!
The TV personality shared her fear with us before the program.
‘I hate being sick. I can’t cope if I have to swallow something hard.
Turns: Frankie’s spouse, Wayne Bridge, a footballer, participated in I’m A Celebrity 2016, and was eighth campmate eliminated
Oh dear! He tried to show her how to make a fire in the kitchen, but it was not successful. (Imaged January 2020).
Frankie’s spouse, Wayne Bridge (footballer), took part I’m A Celebrity 2016, and was eighth campmate eliminated.
According to Saturdays’ singer, he tried to teach her how light a fire but was ultimately unsuccessful.
She stated, “It is so frustrating because he did Australia. And it’s completely different kettles of fish.
He’s trying to teach me how light a flame because I am ineffective and we have a fire. I will be staying. At the end of it all, I decided to give up and wear my coat and uggs. His response was “I don’t get how you cannot keep it lit.”
Confused? Frankie asked her children, Parker, 8 and Carter, 6, what they thought about Frankie participating in I’m A Celebrity. They said it’s ‘hard for them to grasp’.
He said, “Enjoy it!” It was so much fun that he wanted it to be mine ever since. “I just want to go to the cyclone, because my dad didn’t get it!”
Frankie was asked by her sons, Parker (8 years old) and Carter (6 years old), what they think of Frankie taking part in I’m A Celebrity. She said that it’s difficult for them to understand.
Elle elaborated, “My oldest can’t wait for me to do scary things with bugs and other animals.” He knows that I’m afraid of everything and is concerned about my youngest.
“I believe they will find the show funny if they watch it.” It’s getting to the point where they are proud of what I do, so I expect they will be proud.
Frankie is reassured. Frankie said that being in Wales helps her feel safer.
Also, the TV actress stated that “being a mom does teach patience” – which she will be bringing to camp.
She added: I like to think I’m a patient person any way. When someone bothers me, I will go and have a conversation.
“But being alone for so many hours is not a good idea. [quarantined ahead of the show]It’s amazing to be able hug and see people.
Frankie noted that she feels more secure because the show is in Wales. She said: “As a parent, I prefer to be a short drive from home than on the other side. If I need to return home for whatever reason.
Oops! Frankie also admitted that that her Loose Women co-stars guessed that she was going into I’m A Celebrity (Pictured with Christine Lampard, Gloria Hunniford and Brenda Edwards)
The singer also explained how her time on the chat show has helped prepare her for the castle(Pictured with Denise Welch and Jane Moore in 2019)
Frankie said that Loose Women friends had guessed that Frankie was joining I’m A Celebrity. Frankie continued: ‘It can be hard to keep a Secret from Your Friends!
“It is a great idea,” she said. [I’m A Celeb]The show featured him. “I just stated that I am rumoured each year so it was easy for me to escape, but they probably thought I was going in.”
She also spoke out about how the time she spent on chat shows helped her prepare for her role in the castle. The Loose Ladies will be a great help. I listen to other opinions regardless of how they may be perceived.
“I have stronger opinions and personalities than mine so I can deal with them better.
“But it’s different to appear on an hour-long television show with women that you love and be with people who are tired, hungry and miss home. It is hard to predict how I will deal with it. I will probably sneeze all over television!
Excited! Frankie was also not allowed to share her excitement with The Saturdays’ bandmates. She relayed their joy after Frankie led the I’m A Celeb line up rumours. (Pictured in 2010
Frankie didn’t have permission to tell Saturday’s bandmates and they relayed how thrilled they were after Frankie led the I’m A Celeb line up rumours.
She stated that they were excited. Two people texted me after hearing the rumours. But they thought it hilarious, as I am scared of everything. Also, I’m a picky eater.
Television personality, Sheryl Crowe insists that she is determined to do her best. I am not competitive with anyone. I would hate to be forced to participate in a trial, and then not do my best to get stars and food for camp. I would feel ashamed to tell the world “I’m a Celebrity! Get Me Out Of Here!”
Frankie answered Wayne’s question about any bad habits she finds bothersome. It’s interesting to me if you can clean the plates.
“Maybe my culinary skills will be an irritation to everyone. It will not be easy for me to make something from scratch. This might cause people to get frustrated.
