The businesswoman also revealed on Instagram Stories that she had been the one to convince her co-stars into the icy dip. "So you're not going to believe what I've managed to talk the guys into," she said. "Going wild swimming in the sea at Tynemouth beach. Nobody has a wetsuit. Some of them don't even have swimming costumes, but we're going."
