I'm A Celeb's Frankie reveals how she looked so glam in castle amid cheat claims

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Frankie Bridge has revealed just how she managed to keep looking good in the Welsh castle.

The campmates weren't even allowed a hairbrush and had to beg producers to let them have lip balm but natural beauty Frankie managed to power through on the basics.

However, viewers were convinced the 32 year old had a secret stash of makeup but the Loose Women star has let slip she used soap to groom herself instead.

The mum of two said she used soap and her toothbrush to brush up her newly tattooed eyebrows, which she had done before the series to keep them looking neat.

Fans thought that Frankie styled her glossy hair while on the show as well but she insists she wasn't even allowed a comb let alone products.

She told the Daily Mail : "There has been a big thing about my hair, and I just think it's really funny because I hated my hair in there.

"I have such flat, straight hair and it seemed to just flick out, but everyone was obsessed with thinking I was doing something to it. I genuinely wasn't."

The star said she would wash her hair and had to let it dry naturally.

She said that producers were so strict that they'd check their pockets for contraband.

But she made the most of trying to make her eyebrows look good at least by having a secret trick.

Frankie added: "But my eyebrows… I would put soap on my toothbrush and brush my eyebrows – that was my trick! Before the castle I had my eyebrows laminated and tattooed. I don't wear makeup on my days off but I always do my eyebrows, so it was my biggest thing when I went in there."

Frankie managed to make it all the way to the final episode, ultimately coming in third place behind winner Danny Miller and second place Simon Gregson.

The singer admitted that she found it difficult being in the cold, having to wear three pairs of socks everyday she was in there.

She revealed that you could see your own breath due to being so cold, saying she wore two layers of thermals underneath the iconic red trousers as well as a long sleeved top and her gilet.

When in the castle Frankie opened up about her past mental health struggles that she'd been through.

Olympian Matty Lee asked Frankie about a time she was hospitalised which she said she didn't mind talking about.

The Loose Women panellist said she wanted to go on the programme to show the public her real personality.

She said she wanted to show her 'silly and immature' side instead of being serious like she usually is while she works.

Frankie wanted to demonstrate that her 'depression and anxiety are such a small part' of her and she has a positive personality that she wanted viewers to see.
