Lucy Benjamin - I’m A Celebrity 2009
Sunday, 15th November 2009
Ex-EastEnders actress Lucy Benjamin is mostly worried about her hair going wild as she prepares to embark on her jungle adventure.
The 39 year-old mum-of-one said she is so concerned about the state of her frizzy hair if she doesn’t have any conditioner she might have to resort to rubbing leaves into it.
She says: “I couldn’t be without my hair conditioner because I’ve got naturally curly hair. I’m trying to wangle getting conditioner in because otherwise I’m going to look like a mad woman.
“At one point I thought, ‘I’m just going to pick leaves that have got balm in them and rub them in my hair, anything.”
What she’ll miss most
Lucy says the thing she will miss most while she is in the jungle is her daughter but she is going to try not to bore her campmates by talking about her too much.
“Three days is the longest I have ever been away from my daughter…in terms of what I might get thrown at me…nothing is going to be worse than my heartbreak.
“From the point of me leaving her and getting on that plane out there, that is going to be the worst part for me.
“So, if I can deal with that and get through the other side when I land I’m going to have a great time and just say, ‘I’m going to give it my best shot.’
“It’s Bessie’s birthday on November the 22nd. It will bring it all back again because I will try and be strong and it will just be awful.

“It will be heartbreaking but it will be great for her and her dad because I’m always butting in or being a control-freak.
“So that is what I’m going to take out of it, she and her dad bonding beyond bonding, and that’s good for them.
“I know there are going to be a lot of times where I’m going to be very upset. It will be the bored, quiet moments where you are just going, ‘Oh my god. What is she doing? Where is she now?’ …I know that there are going to be points when I will be beside myself.”
As long as you don’t completely lose your marbles you’ll be fine Lucy!
