I won’t Shy away

Snoochie’s castle confidence boost

- BY MARK JEFFERIES

SNOOCHIE Shy says she has grown in confidence while on I’m A Celebrity. The 29-year-old Radio 1Xtra DJ hid a birthmark on her face with make-up for decades until going on to the show but finally spoke about it with her campmates. After her eviction, she said: “It’s always been part of me. Growing up I was a little bit insecure about it because of past experience­s. So this was a BRAVE FACE DJ Snoochie challenge for me as it’s the first time people had seen my birthmark – only my friends and family knew. I thought, if I am going into the castle I am going to take it face on. I feel much better for it.

“I am really happy I did that and it was a big journey for me in the castle.”

Snoochie even enjoyed her Dreaded Diner trial, despite losing to Danny Miller. She told ITV’s Lorraine: “I know it’s crazy but I literally loved it. I grew up watching the show and the eating trials are the ones you see a lot and think, ‘I need to do that’. I ate some weird things like a cow’s bum but it just tastes like normal meat, just a little bit cold.

“The fermented duck egg or vomit fruit I am never going to revisit.”

Snoochie cannot wait to return home to her cat, Magnum, grinning: “I love my mom but she is going to come second.”

Naughty Boy last night became the fourth celeb to get the boot.
