FRANKIE Bridge is facing her toughest challenge yet in the I’m A Celebrity castle.
But before turning her hand to TV, she was actually a singer in TWO successful pop bands.
Was Frankie Bridge in S Club Juniors?
Frankie found fame as a member of the S Club 7 spin off group, S Club Juniors.
She joined the group in 2001 and was a member until it disbanded in 2004.
On I’m A Celebrity she revealed how she won a part in the band.
Speaking to her other campmates Frankie said: “It feels so inadequate when people are winning goal medals. When I was 12 I just went for an audition [for S Club Juniors].
“It was a big open audition on CBBC.
“So me and Rochelle Humes, now, went and people were practicing their songs in the queue.
“I hadn’t even decided what I was going to sing and we both ended up getting in.
“We used to go to the same dance school together when we were like 9 and it’s gone from there.”
What other groups has Frankie Bridge been in?
In 2007 Frankie successfully auditioned to be in The Saturdays.
The band went on to release four studio albums and their 2012 single What About Us reached number one in the charts.
Since The Saturdays disbanded in 2014, Frankie has had a solo career and then became a full-time panelist on Loose Women in February 2021.
