The former Girls Aloud singer is mother to five-year-old Anaíya Bell and has revealed that she was left with a lot of fears after giving birth to her back in 2015.

The mother-of-one is currently over in Australia ready to star in the new series of ITV hit I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.

During her stint down under she is sure to face her fair share of scary trials and tribulations – heights, spiders, snakes, creepy crawlies, dark confined spaces and deep water.

But the mum-of-one has spoken about her upcoming appearance, revealing that it will be a chance for her to step out of her comfort zone as she actually has a lot of fears.

“I am scared of so many things,” she told Mail Online.

'”I really want to try something completely new. I used to be brave. In the past, I’ve opened a restaurant, had a record label, had my daughter and it was go, go, go with all of these.”

“Now I have got so fearful even being in the car, flying or general things,” she continued.

“I think it is since I became a parent that I am much more afraid.

“I really hope that by doing this, it pushes me so far out the comfort zone and that I learn to be comfortable, feel relaxed and do the things that I didn’t used to be afraid of.”

Speaking about being away from her daughter for so long, she continued, “I have been away for ten days for work before but not longer.

“I am dreading being away from everybody and not being able to phone and say "how are you doing?" "How is my daughter?".

“I am excited but it also feels like a dream still. I know it is going to be a whole different story when I get out there!”
