The actress told ITV1's Daybreak that she was aware of sounding "brattish" when she admitted on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here that she gets her hair blow-dried every day.

Asked if she was high-maintenance, Flanagan said: "No, my boyfriend wouldn't agree with that."
Of her blow-dry confession, she added: "It sounded actually really spoilt and brattish when I said that, but I don't mean it like that at all, it's just kind of the way I am really."
Quizzed on whether her time in the jungle had made her more self-sufficient, Flanagan replied: "Definitely, I think it has... not that there's anything wrong with having a blow-dry."
On whether she would return to acting, Flanagan said: "I think when I left Coronation Street I suffered really badly with lots of anxiety and things like that.

"When I left I didn't know really what I wanted to do. I was thinking of maybe going to university. And then I'm a Celebrity came up and I thought, 'Oh, why not? It sounds really, really good fun'. So I'd love to do more acting, I really, really would."
On whether she had deals lined up with lingerie firms, she said: "Well fingers crossed with one lingerie company, hopefully, which I would absolutely love.
"I've got my FHM cover coming out in January. But I really enjoy modelling, I absolutely love modelling. I think it is like acting - you become like a character."
