Frankie Bridge’s family have shared their love and support following Sunday’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! final, with husband Wayne saying they are ‘so proud’ of her.
During Sunday night’s finale episode, presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly announced Frankie had narrowly missed out on making it into the final two and finished third.
Earlier in the episode she had taken on a terrifying trial which saw her covered in 50 snakes in order to win meals for camp.
Wayne, who himself appeared on the programme in 2016, took to Instagram and shared a message saying how ‘special’ Frankie is – and how proud he and the couples’ two children are of her.
He shared a clip of Frankie lying in a chamber full of snakes, before telling his followers: ‘@frankiebridge you are [one] special women me and the boys are so proud of you [sic]’.
Wayne added: ‘Thank you to everyone who voted and all the lovely messages’.

Frankie spoke after leaving the castle, and said that she was just pleased she got further in the competition than Wayne did during his time on the programme.
‘Now, your husband Wayne Bridge did the show in 2016 and you said you wanted to beat him. He came in fifth, you came third, you’ve done it,’ Dec said.
‘I’ve done it! We can have a long and happy marriage now,’ Frankie joked.
‘I really like to push myself and do things that take me outside my comfort zone,’ she added, explaining her decision to take on the programme.

‘Being quite a naturally anxious person, I wanted to prove myself wrong on things I’m really scared of.’
The singer also correctly guessed that Danny Miller would be named King of the castle, saying: ‘Even when we started the show I thought Danny would be the King of the Castle and I think he deserves it. He’s obsessed with the show, as you know.
‘He was in from the beginning, he was in The Clink. But it’s hard, I love them both. But I do think Danny.’
