Frankie Bridge is a singer, author and television personality who has become one of the UK’s most recognised mental health advocates. Rising to fame as a member of pop groups S Club Juniors and The Saturdays, Frankie later spoke candidly about her experiences with depression and anxiety. Her openness has made her an influential voice in breaking down stigma around mental health, especially for young people and women.

Frankie Bridge’s career began in music, first as part of S Club Juniors before joining The Saturdays, one of the UK’s most successful girl bands of the 2000s. Her music career brought her international recognition, television appearances and a finalist spot on “Strictly Come Dancing” in 2014.

Behind the glamour, Frankie faced long-term struggles with depression and anxiety, which she later shared publicly in her books and media work. Her willingness to discuss panic attacks, therapy and medication helped spark open conversations about mental health at a time when celebrity openness on the subject was rare.

Frankie has since become a respected author, with her book “OPEN: Why Asking for Help Can Save Your Life” praised for its honesty and practical advice. She has also written children’s books, including “Open Mind”, aimed at helping young readers understand emotions. Alongside her writing, Frankie is a regular panellist on ITV’s “Loose Women”, where she continues to advocate for wellbeing and women’s health.
