“My socks are like $1,000,” Bridges told the other contestants during a casual chat in the dormitory.

The 35-year-old contests many of her boxing fights in the UK where she has a large supporter base, and said there are plenty of fans willing to cough up their hard-earned for her smelly socks.

“I sell my dirty training socks for $1000,” she said.

“I sell them to people in the UK all the time, $1,000 — £500.

“So the first time I did it, right, I had an inbox and I was in my phone, and I was like, ‘Look at this guy. Another one.

“So I wrote back, ‘£500’, and he goes, ‘Give me your PayPal.’ I sent him my PayPal and he puts the money straight in my PayPal.

“It was so easy, and then I put a tweet out. All these foot fetish people f***ing inbox me, ‘How do I get a pair of your socks?’, I want a picture of your feet’. And I was like, F*** yeah! £500!”

Bridges said some of her fans have very specific requests regarding her socks but he is willing to comply because it is such “easy money”.

“As if I’m going to say no $1000 for a pair of my dirty socks,” she said.

“Please, give me your money and take the socks. Like, hashtag easy money.”

The other SAS contestants were gobsmacked as Bridges explained her bizarre side hustle.

“Seriously, and it’s just a picture of my socks on the floor, like dirty laundry,” she continued. “But the soles have to be up, because they want to see the dirty. It’s f***ing weird.”

Bridges joked the dirty socks she wore during the gruelling TV show will be highly sought after and could sell for way more than $1000 a pop.

“My dirty socks from this course are going to be worth a mint at the end,” she laughed.

“My (boxing) fight socks are worth heaps, and I only wear them for one fight.

“This is like sweat and probably blood, you know, like, I can’t wait to see how much I get for these socks.”

In response to the bizarre revelation, fellow contestant and former Bachelor star Locky Gilbert quipped: “And I’m sending out d*** pics for free.”

Bridges, who is also a qualified maths teacher, has previously opened up about her unique money-making scheme, which she started during the pandemic when boxing fights slowed down.

She hasn’t disclosed exactly how much money she’s made from selling her socks, but it’s safe to say business is booming and there’s plenty of interest from her fans and 381,000 Instagram followers.
