Speaking to her fellow housemates, Angellica started to get upset as she looked back at how much she has achieved over the years

Tearing up, she said: ‘What I love about children is that they’re just so open, they’re not tarnished cynicism, the world or life.’

The TV star added that she found a letter from a young girl that she inspired to get into acting.

Years later, Angellica then found out she went to drama school and became a teacher.

Over on X, fans couldn’t help but tell Angellica how inspirational she is.

One person wrote: ‘Angelica Bell is an icon and will forever be one!! Love her so much! #cbb #CBBUK.’

Another wrote: ‘Happy 25 years of being a TV presenter, Angellica Bell! Here’s to another 25!’

A third added: ‘Angellica celebrating 25 years she looks so young did she start at birth?’

Following her stint on CBBC, Angellica went on to host programmes such as BBC’s The One Show and The Martin Lewis Money Show.

Over on X, fans couldn’t help but tell Angellica how inspirational she is as they joined in with the celebrations

Earlier this week, fans were left shocked after Angellica revealed her ‘real age’ on the show.

Many took to X to share their thoughts.

Shortly after she entered the famous house on Monday, Angellica’s husband Michael Underwood hinted she will speak about her axe from The Martin Lewis Money Show.

Michael, who met his wife in the early 2000s when they both worked in children’s TV, took to Instagram to share a video reacting to her debut on the launch show.

In the clip, he said he is aware Angellica is the ‘underdog’ of the series given the big names signed by ITV bosses.

The couple married in 2010 and have two children together. In recent years, Michael has shared he’s now a primary school teacher after the ‘phone stopped ringing’ with TV offers.

He also hinted that viewers may see Angellica address her reported sacking from Martin Lewis’ Money Show, which sources claimed was due to a conflict of interest thanks to her work on a rival Channel 5 show.

Speaking to his followers, Michael noted that he and his wife only knew of this year’s lineup through reports circulating online, saying: ‘I think it’s a good list of names, I do think that is.

‘Now obviously it would be foolish not to say she’s the underdog in this team, but I hope she goes in there and shows you what I see every day and have seen every day since we met 25 years ago, and what I’ve seen every day since we’ve been married.

‘Just that kind, funny, straight-talking person and I hope you get to see that, because I think in all the other stuff she’s done on TV, that’s not always come through, because of the type of show that she’s working on.

‘But this is her chance to be herself, and I think that would work really well for her.’
