Stacey Solomon hates seeing herself on TV.

The 'I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!' winner - who presented on the 'X Factor' final last year - cringes when she watches herself because she can't control her facial expressions and hasn't got the "most appealing voice".

She explained: "I hate seeing myself on TV - I haven't got the most appealing voice and I don't have loads of control over my face."

Despite not liking her appearance on TV, the Dagenham-born beauty admitted she would love to become a regular presenter on 'Xtra Factor' because she can relate to contestants after coming third on the ITV1 show in 2009.

She said: "Presenting the 'Xtra Factor' would be really fun. I know what the contestants are going through, so I could relate to everyone on it. 'X Factor' is the hard bit - and 'Xtra Factor' is just a laugh."

Stacey also revealed her former 'X Factor' mentor Danni Minogue has stayed in touch with her and even congratulated her on being crowned queen of the jungle at the end of last year.

She added to Star magazine: "She is so supportive. When I came out of the jungle, she was so happy and texted me to say: 'Well done'. My sister threw me a party for close friends and family, and Danni recorded a video message. I nearly cried. She is one of the nicest women in the world."
