I’m A Celebrity star Snoochie Shy bravely opened up about her birthmark insecurity during last night’s show (December 5).
The BBC Radio 1Xtra host, 29, told her fellow campers that she feared her birthmark would leave viewers thinking she was a “catfish”.
However, some admitted that they had never even noticed it.
I’m A Celebrity star Snoochie Shy
During Sunday night’s show, Snoochie sat down with Frankie Bridge and Naughty Boy.
Discussing her birthmark, she said: “One of my main things coming in here, and I said it to my mum and the guy I’m seeing, ‘I think people are going to think I’m a catfish. I’m not going to look like my Instagram.’
“Insta is your best angles, you’ve got sick lighting, you’ve got make-up on. I don’t edit my face, but obviously I’ll put like… if I’ve got spots I hide it, with my birthmark I cover it with make-up.”

She continued: “I muted [the word] catfish on my Instagram. You know where you can mute words? This is the first time I’ve shown people my birthmark and stuff.”
In the Castle Telegraph, Frankie commented: “I think Snoochie came in here thinking her birthmark was an imperfection.
“I don’t think she could be any further from the truth.”
Meanwhile, Naughty Boy shared his admiration for Snoochie.
The music producer said: “I think people are going to admire you for it.”
Snoochie in the Telegraph added: “I actually feel much better for being here and having my birthmark out.
There’s more to life really
“I know it sounds so stupid but I just feel like me and I think I’m just realising that even if people do say something about it it says more about them than it does me.
“There’s more to life really. It is what it is and I feel better for it.”
However, some viewers have failed to notice Snoochie’s birthmark.
I have noticed…but assumed it was just the shadow from her hair.

Bless #snoochie thinking people would have an issue with her birth mark. There’s no issue it’s natural and she cones across as vulnerable but genuine. #ImACeleb

I have a scar that I’ve had all me life I honestly don’t care what people say about it. I’ve had all names under sun. But it’s a scar from a illness I survived so I’m happy with it. Snoochie don’t worry about what anyone says about birth mark #ImACeleb @snoochieshy
