Frankie Bridge has sparked speculation about a rift with a former friend after posting a cutting message declaring “you’re dead to me.”
The Loose Women star is currently holidaying in the Maldives with husband Wayne Bridge and their sons.
Amid sharing holiday content, the 36-year-old posted a cryptic TikTok of herself sipping a glass of rosé, with the on-screen text reading: “You’re so quiet… Thanks, you said something five years ago and I’ve just realised you’re actually dead to me.”
In a further caption, Frankie added: “Takes me a while, but once you’re dead you’re dead.”
The post comes amid reports of behind-the-scenes tensions between Frankie, her former Saturdays bandmate Rochelle Humes and Myleene Klass, claims that insiders say once prompted ITV to intervene.
The trio were once close friends, with Myleene and Frankie even joining Rochelle’s hen party in 2012.
But the following year, The Sun reported that tensions reportedly flared when Myleene felt Frankie was “blanking” her, leading to an alleged confrontation at the 2013 Glamour Women of the Year Awards and a mutual request not to work together.
Despite this, a staff shortage over Christmas last year saw them unexpectedly reunited on the same Loose Women panel - an appearance said to have been “awkward” with “minimal interaction.”
Yet, sources close to Frankie said her social media post was not directed at Myleene and insisted there is no issue between them.
Since then, fans have questioned whether her video was aimed at Rochelle, with one writing: “Not Rochelle??” while another commented: “any of the saturdays frankie” alongside a laughing face emoji.
However, representatives for Frankie told the Daily Mail there is “absolutely no feud,” while sources close to Rochelle also told The Sun there is “no feud.”
The Standard has contacted representatives for Frankie Bridge, Rochelle Humes and Myleene Klass for comment.
Frankie and Rochelle first found fame together at just 12-years-old in pop group S Club Juniors, before reuniting in The Saturdays in 2007 alongside Mollie King, Una Healy and Vanessa White.
The chart-topping girl group went on to release hits including Up, Ego and What About Us before going on hiatus in 2014.

The band have previously insisted they never split due to personal fallouts, with Frankie previously telling HELLO!: “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.”
However, The Sun recently reported that Frankie and Rochelle appeared to avoid each other at Wimbledon last month.
Both were invited to the Evian suite overlooking Court One, but despite mingling with other guests just metres apart, the pair did not appear to interact.
Insiders told the outlet: “Even though they were pleasant to each other when they did brush shoulders, they didn’t spend any extra time together than they had to, in between being amicable while passing each other en route to watch the tennis.”
