Loose Women Discuss Frankie Bridge's Rice Clash On I'm A Celeb

The Loose Women panel have defended Frankie Bridge after 'ricegate' with Naughty Boy on I'm A Celebrity.

As tensions rose in camp, lots of viewers were on Naughty Boy's side of the conflict but Frankie's Loose Women co-stars have responded to the altercation.

Watch the clip from Loose Women below:

Frankie, who joined Loose Women back in December 2020, locked heads with music producer Naughty Boy, resulting in tears from the Saturdays singer.

On Loose Women, Katie Piper said: "I just want to hug her".

Kaye Adams then explained how in a previous interview when she was asked about Frankie entering the camp, she said Frankie was not a confrontational person and then watched ricegate.

She was shocked at the exchange and exclaimed: "It was one word that tipped that conversation!"

Nadia Sawalha then considered the environment the celebrities are currently in: "You're hungry and tired, you're missing home you're cold and not sleeping properly.

"It was nothing but you can imagine how much bigger it felt for them."

Katie added: "She's also probably missing her kids".

She also confessed: "If someone confronted me I'd be on the floor sobbing."

Kaye suggested that a quick "I didn't mean to say that" from Frankie would have settled things.

"It does take a certain amount of life experience to instead of apologising to just say, 'I'm sorry but you may have misunderstood me", Nadia agreed.

Ricegate happened when Naughty Boy had spoken to Danny Miller about how the food shouldn't be like "rice pudding".

Frankie then said to Naughty Boy: "You’re just coming into our camp and this was just what we did…"

But Naughty Boy took issue with her phrasing and interrupted: "No, this is our camp. That’s wrong what you just said….It’s not your camp."

Frankie Bridge got very upset after what Naughty Boy said, leading to tears from the singer.

She said: "I’d rather not have rice at this point. I just hate any confrontation. Now I’m like, ‘Oh my God, did I say something bad?'"

She continued: "Now I’ve offended him … why am I talking about rice. I’m someone who avoids confrontation at all costs. I just hate it. I don’t understand what the issue is."

No matter what though, Loose Women will always have Frankie's back.
