Franks spent 20 years in public relations and left her agency in 1992 to become an international spokesperson.

In 1994, she chaired the UK's first women's radio station, presenting her own radio show, 'Frankly Speaking'.

In the late 90s, Franks returned to the PR industry, with the launch of a new agency called Globalfusion, with offices in LA and San Francisco.

More recently, she has most recently been focused on a developing a project called Seed (Sustainable Enterprise Empowerment Dynamics), a network set up to train women.

The new series of 'I'm a Celebrity...' is being sponsored by frozen food retailer Iceland, which is running in-store activity and cross-promotion activity to support the tie-up.
