Gillian explains reason for divisive hairstyle
Before re-entering the jungle, Gillian explained that during her last I’m A Celebrity appearance, she got bitten by a tick under her hair. Therefore, she wanted to make sure her hair was in a style that didn’t let insects through.
She told Mail Online: “I was bitten by a tick back in 2010. I have quite thick hair and it burrowed under my hair at the neck, so I thought, I’m not doing that again. The tick bite was very painful. It stuck its pincer into my neck under the hair. It was like being sliced with a razor sharp knife.”
She added: “Thank goodness for Medic Bob – my saviour. But I didn’t want to risk being attacked by a tick again, so I thought I’m going to put my hair in plaits.”
