I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Frankie Bridge has already managed to do one better than her husband Wayne Bridge, who came in fifth place back in 2016.
The former The Saturdays singer has well and truly won the hearts of viewers over the last couple of weeks.
Frankie’s been praised for her honesty about her mental health issues over the years, and quickly became an integral part of camp.
Now, she’s made it through to the final four and there’s a special reason why this result is particularly significant for the Loose Women panellist.
Even if she doesn’t end up being crowned Queen of the Jungle, making it through to this stage mean’s she’s officially beaten Wayne’s efforts from his stint five years ago.
A cute update was posted on Frankie’s Instagram congratulating her for getting so far in the competition.

Attached was a throwback snap of the couple after Wayne’s time in the Australian jungle came to an end, and he was finally reunited with Frankie.
The caption read: Not that it’s a competitive household BUT Frankie has officially beaten @waynebridge03 in terms of time spent on #imaceleb before being booted out…
‘She’ll take that!! GO ON FRANK,’ read the very sweet post, before reminding fans to use their votes on the contestant.
Before entering the castle, Frankie made it clear she at least wanted to finish higher in the rankings than Wayne did.
Speaking to press including Metro.co.uk, she said of Wayne: ‘He just told me to enjoy it, he absolutely loved it and has wanted me to do it ever since he did it.
‘We’re quite competitive so I just want to make sure I get to the cyclone because he never got a chance to do it.’
