Most people would be nervous enough to go on TV but even more so, if they had to be make-up free and without all their beauty comforts. And Atack was no different when she signed up for ITV’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

“Before the show I was thinking of ways to try and get my body and skin prepared to go make-up free,” she recalls, admitting that she even originally asked for her luxury item to be fake tan. Show bosses refused to let her take the beauty product into the jungle, though, and so she was forced to instead opt for a Tangle Teezer brush.

Unsurprisingly, Atack spent a lot of time fretting about how she would look on the show. Once she landed, though, her worries disappeared. “The second I jumped from that plane and rode on the back of John Barrowman across a muddy lake, it was game over for the glam,” Atack tells me, “There was no going back. It was like something switched in my brain, I couldn’t rely on my lashes, and I knew that this experience was going to be unlike anything I’ve ever done before. The freckles had escaped!”
