Meet Frankie Bridge – I'm A Celebrity 2021 contestant and popstar
Everything you need to know about the popstar, presenter and podcast host.
I’m A Celebrity 2021 is now in full swing, with a number of famous faces battling it out for the crown in the infamous show’s castle.
Former popstar Frankie Bridge is part of the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! 2021 line-up.
Recent scenes saw her take to the stage in the music-themed trial Scary-Oke alongside Naughty Boy, in which the pair were forced to down various horrible drinks and perform karaoke while getting pelted with objects and drenched in gunk.
She happens to be following in the footsteps of her husband, footballer Wayne Bridge, who was a contestant on the show back in 2016.
“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 revealed 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.”
