Frankie Bridge has raised eyebrows with her latest TikTok post, fuelling rumours of a fallout with someone in her personal life.
The singer, 36, was part of chart-topping girl band The Saturdays from 2007 until their hiatus in 2014. Its lineup also comprised Rochelle Humes, Mollie King, Vanessa White, and Una Healy.
Nowadays, Frankie is a TV regular thanks to an I’m A Celebrity stint and regular Loose Women panel appearances. She also has her own platform, Faves, where she shares fashion tips and lookbooks for subscribers.
The pop star has a strong social media presence, too, meaning she quickly acquired thousands of views on her latest video, in which she hinted that she’s been holding a grudge against someone.
Her cryptic post saw Frankie partake in a trend in which TikTokers share some of their deepest thoughts, with the All Fired Up hitmaker filming herself sipping a glass of wine, throwing in a sassy side-eye.
She added the text: ‘You’re so quiet… Thanks, you said something five years ago and I’ve just realised you’re actually dead to me.’
The clip had Avril Lavigne’s song What the Hell playing over the top, with Frankie writing further in her caption: ‘Takes me a while, but once you’re dead you’re dead 😂 #capricorn’.
While Frankie did not specify who or what the video was referring to, it didn’t take long for her followers to get their guesses in.
@teddybearkingg commented in a nod to Frankie’s husband: ‘Not Wayne???? 😮’. However, the couple have been happily holidaying with their kids recently, firmly putting a pin in any kind of marital woes.
Several fans also expressed support for Frankie, agreeing with her.
‘That’s me, you hurt me only once then your off 😡 [sic]’, wrote @cjf3173, while @lol_pheo joked: ‘Me in perimenopause 😂’
Frankie, who has been in the industry since she was a child as part of S Club Juniors, has continued to forge a successful career for herself following The Saturdays’ sabbatical.
While the likes of Vanessa and Una have released solo music and continue performing, Mollie is a DJ on BBC Radio 1, and Rochelle presents on This Morning, among other shows.
Frankie had a dazzling stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2014, where she finished as a runner-up, and has since become a Sunday Times bestseller with her books.
It was previously reported that she had the highest net worth of all band members, now raking it in further with her social media collaborations and endorsements.
As for whether we can expect a Saturdays reunion anytime soon, well, it’s a question fans have been desperately asking for the past 11 years.
While it doesn’t look like they’ll be back together on stage just yet, Frankie has insisted before that halting the band after their Greatest Hits album dropped wasn’t due to any fallouts.
Speaking to HELLO!, Frankie explained: ‘We never fell out. We never really officially broke up or anything, so the option [to get back together] has kind of always been there.’
The Up songstress has always publicly maintained a ‘never say never’ approach to reuniting, while Irish star Una has repeatedly expressed her eagerness to get the band back together.
Alas, Rochelle has admitted she ‘highly doubts’ it will happen, crushing fans’ dreams due to the girls’ inability to organise dinner, let alone a nationwide tour.
While filming The Hit List last summer, the 00s musician turned businesswoman said: ‘I’ll be totally honest, it’s hard to get the five of us in a room for dinner.’
‘Our group chat is always one of us suggesting drinks, but we can never decide on a date that suits everyone,’ Rochelle laughed.
‘We were a lot better when one person was in control of our diary.’
The Sats released their debut single, If This Is Love, in 2008. From there, they achieved five million record sales in the UK and Ireland, finally cinching a number one tune with What About Us in 2012.
Other songs famous from the five-piece include Issues, Ego, Higher, Notorious, and 30 Days, while collaborators have included Flo Rida.
