Frankie Bridge admits I'm A Celebrity 'rule break' on Loose Women nearly two years on

Frankie Bridge shocked her Loose Women co-stars by admitting 'breaking the rules' on I'm A Celebrity, nearly two years after she starred on the show.

The Saturdays singer and former Strictly finalist Frankie was a contestant on I'm A Celebrity when it was forced to relocate to Wales for the second year in succession due to the coronavirus pandemic. The show was won by Danny Miller, who beat Frankie and Coronation Street actor Simon Gregson in the final.

There was some drama midway through the 2021 series, when, like most of the UK, Wales was hit badly by Storm Arwen, with the I'm A Celebrity set in Abergele badly damaged, leading to the contestants being evacuated from the castle and and taken into quarantine for a few days, as the show was taken off air, before the celebs were allowed to go back in.

And it was something she did before returning to the castle that Frankie came clean about as the Loose Women panel discussed stars in the new All Star run taking contraband into the camp in South Africa.

Speaking to host Christine Lampard and fellow panellists Linda Robson and Judi Love, Frankie was asked if she'd smuggled anything in to which she replied: "So, very unlike me...I didn't originally, but in our series we all had to get taken out because there was storm and then went back in.

"And let me tell you, I was so cold; you get given two lots of everything, I wore both layers of socks, trousers, leggings everything, every day that I was in there to bed and in the day and I would just rorate which ones were touching my skin each day."

Owning up to her rule break, Frankie then explained: "So when I came back in, they do search you, but I wore an extra pair of leggings, an extra vest and an extra pair of socks, because I was so cold. And I felt like I'd literally broken the rules so badly and didn't even blooming work after all that!"
