"Short hair was always my thing, but after I spent all that time in the Saturdays I fancied a change," she said about opting for extensions.
"But then I got bored and I wanted it short again. I feel more ‘me’ when I have short hair. It’s even more high maintenance than extensions though, I don’t wake up and it’s just done.

What was Cannonball?
Cannonball featured plucky contestants trying their best against a course of water-based challenges.
Each week 24 contestants faced challenges in a custom-built water park, including tackling a giant swing and launching themselves cannonball-style at a target.
Crazy tasks included attempting the highest and longest jumps possible off massive water slides in fancy dress.
Frankie co-hosted with Freddie Flintoff while Radzi Chinyanganya, Maya Jama and comedian Ryan Hand were also on hand to capture the action.
On May 6, 2018, The Sun exclusively revealed Cannonball had been axed after just one series.
