Looking happy and healthy with impeccably styled hair on Tuesday, Wilson posted her personal mobile number to almost one million followers, along with a message explaining that she was doing so to stay in touch with her fans.

“I just wanted to tell you something,” she said in a video. “I am going to give you my phone number and you can text me and I'm going to text you back.

“That way I can let you know what I'm up to, where I’m going to be and maybe tell you some things that are happening before they happen.”

Within hours the post had thousands of comments.
