Frankie Bridge flashes her toned abs in a black bikini top before going braless beneath a chic vest as she reveals she's 'ready to transition into her summer wardrobe'
The former Saturdays star, 36, showed off her toned abs in the skimpy swimwear which she teamed with a white and black crochet cardigan and black trousers while posing for a mirror selfie.
She then went braless as she posed in a chic black vest top and green khaki skirt amid her recent stunning photoshoot at an idyllic location in Mallorca.
Frankie looked on fine form in the carousel of snaps as she informed her fans that she was 'fully ready to transition into my summer wardrobe now'.
The snaps are from Frankie's recent shoot in Spain for her campaign with handbag and accessories brand Katie Loxton.
Among the images, Frankie was sure to set pulses racing as she shared another close-up shot of herself in her black bikini top, with the star bathed in sunshine in the snap.
A black and white photo saw the mother-of-two pose in a black vest and black wide-legged trousers paired with a retro-style headscarf and white-rimmed sunglasses.
With others seeing Frankie model form-fitting maxi dresses and stylish co-ords, all of which were paired with a variety of chic bags.
Frankie's latest post comes after she opened up about how she would come home and cried herself during her time in the Saturdays while suffering with debilitating anxiety.
The singer who now appears as a Loose Women regular, discussed struggling with the mental health condition from a young age.
Frankie only realised what she was suffering from while in the girl band, where she was joined by Rochelle Humes, Una Healy, Mollie King and Vanessa White.
The mother of two explained that she began to feel like 'two different people' and would have to switch on her public persona while out with the band.
Speaking on Olivia Attwood 's S o Wrong, It's Right podcast, Frankie spoke about suffering from anxiety since she shot to stardom at a young age in S Club Juniors.
S Club Juniors were a spin-off S Club 7, formed from thousands of young hopefuls on the programme S Club Search, to act as a support group to the original band.
The band was formed after they were chosen from thousands of hopefuls on the television series S Club Search to appear as a support act for the pop band.
Frankie said: ''I didn't go to school. We were home-schooled while we're on the road. I get really confused and lost in the time, I think I was like 15, 15 when S Club Juniors finished and then the Saturdays started when I was 17.
'So, it was a little gap and I had a couple of like normal jobs in between.'
She said: 'I think pop music and TV and that kind of thing in the public eye, no matter how successful you are, the minute you stop doing it, everyone sees you as a failure.
'I always had stomach aches. Can you remember Pepto Bismol, the medicine, the pink horrible stuff? That would be in my bag every day because I always had a funny tummy, like nervous stomach. At bedtime I couldn't breathe properly and things like that. So I think the anxiety was there but I didn't know what it was.'
The singer continued: 'I'd have blood tests all the time and things like that and obviously nothing ever came back and then it wasn't what it is now, do you know what I mean? But I for me, the first time I realized that it was a proper issue was actually in the Saturdays. And I think for a while I'd been coming home from work, going straight to bed, not wanting dinner, just wanting to go to bed, cry, go to sleep.
'Bed was a safe space. But I didn't realize that that was not okay. And it wasn't until we were on tour and we used to do meet and greets before the show and I remember gathering myself outside the door. Taking a deep breath and thinking, right, be Frankie from the Saturdays.'
Frankie then shared that she felt as though she'd 'become two versions of myself' as she added: 'This person that I thought everyone needed me to be and what the expectation was to like what I was actually feeling inside.'
Despite rising to fame quickly, the Saturdays have been on hiatus since 2014.

Sylvester Stallone breaks silence on Rocky co-star Hulk Hogan's death
Sylvester Stallone has paid tribute to Hulk Hogan, who died this week at the age of 71. The pair starred together in Rocky III back in 1982 Sylvester Stallone has paid a heartbreaking tribute to Hulk Hogan, who died this week. The WWE wrestler died at the age of 71 following a reported cardiac arrest and tributes have since flooded in for the sportsman. Rocky star Sylvester - who appeared alongside the wrestler in 1982 on the set of Rocky III and he said he knew he was going to be famous. Sylvester said there was a glow about him on set. He also posted on Instagram, writing: "I had the pleasure of meeting this brilliant personality and showman when he was 26 years old. He was absolutely wonderful and his amazing skill made Rocky three incredibly special. My heart breaks. I think that he's gone." Sylvester recalled how 315 pound Hulk would pick him up and drop him on the ground but he had a special way of dropping him down to ensure he was never hurt. He described the punches as incredibly accurate and precise. Branding the wrestling star a "force to be reckoned with", he said: "This fella was very... he was just at the beginning of his career, he hadn't quite come into his own yet so we got him at a point where he was so enthusiastic and I remember he was immense, he was probably about 315lbs (22st 5lbs) but very smart. He had this deep, calming voice. "And he was willing to do anything that would make the show better. At first no one wanted him because they said he was too big – that was the whole point it's like David and Goliath, the bigger the better. And he showed up in magnificent shape." He told TMZ:"The thing was, we started to roll around and he would literally pick me up and drop me to the ground. I figured I'm gonna be literally pulp by the time I land and yet he would always break the fall and do things you wouldn't see like a magician." Sylvester went on to say how smart Hulk was. He shared: "He was very smart. A lot of people judge a book by its cover - I know what that feels like. They did the same with him. He was very smart, very entrepreneurial, very musical. "He just was in a lot of pain. I know he had so many injuries. He said 10 plus and yet he never complained. He just tried to persevere and be as pleasant as possible. I miss him terribly. He's irreplaceable. It's been a rough week between him and Ozzy Osbourne. We've lost some monumental human beings."

Dwayne ‘The Rock' Johnson pays tribute to ‘childhood hero' Hulk Hogan
The 53-year-old spoke about meeting Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, for the first time in 1984 as a fan aged 12 when he handed him back his 'Hulkster' headband after it had been thrown into the crowd. In an Instagram post paying tribute to Hogan, who was a leading figure in wrestling during the 1980s and won six WWE Championships, Johnson said: 'Rest in peace, Terry Bollea aka the immortal Hulk Hogan. 'To millions of little kids you were a childhood hero – myself included. 'In 1984, I gave you your 'Hulkster' headband back, in the locker room in Madison Square Garden – I was the lucky kid caught it when you threw it in the crowd. 'You were wrestling Mr Wonderful, Paul Orndorff, that night in the main event. You were shocked and so happy after the match because you told me that was your very last headband and if it weren't for me, you'd have no way of getting that exact one made again. 'You promised me that you would get more made and give me a 'Hulkster' headband of my own as a thank you gift. 'A month later in Madison Square Garden, you did just that. You kept your word, with a handshake and a 'thanks kid', and that meant the world to that little 12 year old boy.' Johnson, who is well known for his appearances in the Fast And Furious film series, went on to speak about how at the age of 29 he faced his hero in the ring at Wrestlemania. He added: 'The match was to decide who would go down in history, as the greatest of all-time. 'When you kick out of my Rock Bottom finisher – just listen and feel that crowd go electric, all for you. I've never felt anything like that in my entire wrestling career. It takes two to tango, but that historic crowd reaction was all for you. 'You may have passed the torch to me that night, but you, my friend, you drew the house, meaning you sold out every arena and stadium across the country in your prime as Hulk Hogan, on your way of becoming the greatest of all-time. 'From deep in my bones, and on behalf of this wild and crazy world of professional wrestling that we love, I say to you now, and forever, thank you for the house, brother.' US President Donald Trump also paid tribute, posting on his Truth Social platform: 'We lost a great friend today, the 'Hulkster', Hulk Hogan was MAGA all the way — strong, tough, smart, but with the biggest heart. 'He gave an absolutely electric speech at the Republican National Convention, that was one of the highlights of the entire week. 'He entertained fans from all over the world, and the cultural impact he had was massive. 'To his wife, Sky, and family, we give our warmest best wishes and love. Hulk Hogan will be greatly missed!' Former WWE star Hogan was found 'experiencing a serious medical-related issue' in a house on Eldorado Avenue and he was taken to Morton Plant Hospital, after Clearwater police department in Florida said officers and fire crews responded to a 'medical-related call' shortly before 10am on Thursday. Hogan died at 11.17am in hospital and there are 'no signs of foul play or suspicious activity', Major Nate Burnside said. WWE star John Cena also paid tribute to Hogan, posting a picture of the wrestler with Andre The Giant on Instagram. His death was confirmed by the WWE, who posted a statement on X saying: 'WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. 'One of pop culture's most recognisable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. 'WWE extends its condolences to Hogan's family, friends, and fans.' Hogan headlined the first Wrestlemania in 1985, and his last WWE match was against Randy Orton at SummerSlam in 2006. Hogan's friend and fellow former professional wrestler Ric Flair wrote on X: 'I am absolutely shocked to hear about the passing of my close friend @HulkHogan! Hulk has been by my side since we started in the wrestling business. 'An incredible athlete, talent, friend, and father!' The legendary Hulk Hogan ❤️💛 — WWE (@WWE) July 24, 2025 Hulkamania was coined in the mid-1980s, as he pushed professional wrestling into the mainstream. He was known for his large muscles, with arms he called his 24-inch pythons, along with his bright blond hair and handlebar moustache. Fellow wrestler Triple H said: 'WWE would not be where it is today without the larger-than-life characters that compete in the ring… and few, if any, loomed larger than Terry 'Hulk Hogan' Bollea.' The former professional wrestler, whose real name is Paul Michael Levesque, described Hogan as 'the archetype of what it meant to be a 'Superstar' – a global sensation that inspired millions to work hard at whatever it was they wanted to accomplish'. His look 'made him recognisable to fans around the world' and 'was simply put, iconic', said the now-chief content officer at WWE. Triple H, 55, added: 'As a Real American or the leader of one of the industry's biggest factions, he transcended and elevated the entire business to heights never before seen – in every country and on every continent. WWE would not be where it is today without the larger-than-life characters that compete in the ring … and few, if any, loomed larger than Terry 'Hulk Hogan' Bollea. He was the archetype of what it meant to be a 'Superstar' – a global sensation that inspired millions to work… — Triple H (@TripleH) July 24, 2025 'There was no-one like The Hulkster and there very well may never be another. My family sends their condolences to his family, friends, and fans.' Major Burnside said: 'Our personnel is providing the family with the necessary resources. I'm strongly encouraging everyone to keep the family in their thoughts and respect their privacy during this difficult time.' Police are 'conducting a death investigation, which is standard in these types of cases', he added.
