Natasha Hamilton only appeared on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ to "put food on [the] table" for her family.
The 38-year-old singer – who first found fame as part of Atomic Kitten – has admitted she agreed to star on the reality show in 2015 because she was offered a very generous fee by the ‘Big Brother’ bosses.
Natasha – who has kids Josh, 17, Harry, 15, Alfie, 10, and Ella, five – explained: "I did ‘Big Brother’ for the money – I was offered a very good fee, enough for nine months to do other things in my life.
"I went on the show to put food on my table."
Natasha clashed with Farrah Abraham on the reality show, describing the TV star as being "off her head".
But the singer was determined to stand her ground during their on-screen rows.
She told Simon Gross on ‘Get Gossy With Grossy’: "At school I was bullied for being a redhead, wearing a brace and my dad being mixed race.
"I made up my mind not to allow ever people to bully me, my family or people around me."
Meanwhile, Natasha previously admitted to seeing a psychologist during her time in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house because she was struggling to deal with the stresses of the experience.
The pop star – who came third in the series – had to speak to a professional at one stage as her on-screen troubles threatened to overwhelm her.
She shared: "There was one day when I saw a psychologist because I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. But I’m not a quitter – I was never tempted to quit."
Natasha also admitted she found her time in the house to be really tough.
She said: "It was really hard. Every day was just so long."
