Frankie Bridge is of course best known for being a member of girlband The Saturdays, which sold over five million records between 2007 and 2014. Prior to joining the Saturdays, Bridge was a part of S Club 7 junior spin-off S Club 8, after auditioning on CBBC reality show S Club Search.
Since The Saturdays went on hiatus in 2014 Frankie has launched a successful career in television, becoming a runner-up in the 12th series of Strictly Come Dancing and presenting ITV gameshow Cannonball in 2017. She is now a regular panellist on Loose Women, hosts mental health podcast Open Mind and become a bestselling author with her books Open and Grow.
Frankie is married to footballer Wayne Bridge, who came in fifth place on I’m A Celebrity in 2016.
What has Frankie Bridge said about joining I’m A Celebrity 2021?
“Ever since Wayne took part, he has been desperate for me to do it too and he can’t wait to watch me squirm and scream,” Bridge said ahead of her debut in the castle.
“I think people will be surprised to see me doing I’m A Celebrity, and I am scared of most things, but I really want to push myself.”
Frankie left a video for fans on Twitter ahead of entering the castle, during which she revealed she “was scared of everything” – including ketchup…
