Biography
Frost was born in Wallasey, Merseyside[1][2] and grew up in Prestwich, near Manchester. She loved music from an early age. Her earliest concert experience was when her father took her to a Level 42 concert at the age of nine.[3] Sport and dancing were Frost's favourite activities, however, modelling was her dream. After attending St Monica's High School she started to work for BBC Television on the Holiday programme and travelling around the world.[citation needed]

1998–2004: Precious and Atomic Kitten
In 1998, Frost joined the girl group Precious, who were the UK entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1999, with the song "Say It Again", peaking top 10 hit in UK. Subsequent releases by Precious enjoyed only modest success, and their debut album failed to chart at all, ultimately leading the group to go their separate ways in 2000.[4] In 2001, Frost moved on by replacing Kerry Katona in Atomic Kitten, a girl group founded by OMD frontman Andy McCluskey. With Frost, Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton, Atomic Kitten have had three UK number one singles, "Whole Again", "Eternal Flame", and "The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling)". The group also had two UK number one albums, Right Now, and Feels So Good, both being certified double-platinum in the UK for sales of over 600,000 copies each. The total worldwide sales are estimated at 6.2 million singles and 4 million albums.[5]
2005–2012: Television and hiatus
After the split, Frost signed with Storm Model Management and became face for Nelsons (Homeopathy) products.[6][7][8] In 2005 appeared on the 2005 edition of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! on the ITV network, where she was eliminated on day 14. Frost features on Route 1's single "Crash Landing", released on 10 October 2005, which peaked at number 47.[9] Frost planned to release a solo album and recorded several songs, such as "Mirrors" and "Bad Girl", but dropped it when she failed to sign with a record label.[10] From 2008 to 2011, Frost presented the successful BBC Three programme Snog Marry Avoid?. Also in 2011 she co-presented OK! TV on Channel 5.[11][12] In 2012 she presented the talk show The Wright Stuff, her last work before taking a long hiatus from her artistic career to prioritize her family.[13]
