Frankie Bridge and Rochelle Humes both first rose to fame being in The Saturdays before both embarking on TV presenting careers
Rochelle Humes has been seen reaching out to Frankie Bridge after fallout claims emerged. It seems that the Saturdays stars are patching up their friendship after claims they had stopped speaking.
‌
36-year-old Frankie raised eyebrows this week as she shared a sassy "you're dead to me" post on her socials - just as claims about her relationship with Rochelle began to surface.
‌
Meanwhile, Rochelle posted a message about "choosing partners wisely" prompting fans to speculate something wasn't right with the girlband members. The allegations came after sources at this year's Wimbledon claimed the pair were in the same celebrity suite but didn't say a word to each other all day, though they were happy to interact with other famous faces.
‌
In her most recent upload, Frankie looked as stunning as ever in the post as she showed off her figure in a patterned bikini during a family holiday in the Maldives. Eagle-eyed fans spotted that Rochelle clicked the like button on the photo, which is rare when it comes to their friendship.
The pair still both follow each other on Instagram but haven't been seen liking or commenting each other's posts since 2013, apart from this one most recent time.
‌
Frankie and Rochelle were reported to have snubbed each other at Wimbledon last month after knowing each other for 24 years. Soon after Frankie then shared a TikTok about falling out with a friend.
A caption written over the clip said: "You're so quiet… Thanks, you said something five years ago and I've just realised you're actually dead to me."
Frankie and Rochelle appeared to have a firm friendship after starring in S Club Juniors and later The Saturdays together. They have gone on to have successful music careers but have now ditched this for TV.
‌
The two of them both work for ITV but on separate shows. Frankie is known for regularly appearing on Loose Women as a panellist, while Rochelle often steps in to present This Morning.
She has been a regular staple over the Summer holidays as she often hosts the show with Dermot O'Leary. Aside from being on our screens, Frankie is also known for being open about her mental health.
She's discussed the impact of anxiety and recalled her husband Wayne Bridge 's support during a "difficult time" with depression. Speaking on Olivia Attwood's podcast, Frankie said that she first realised she was struggling while in The Saturdays.
‌
She said: "But I think for me, the first time I realised that it was like 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, like not wanting dinner. Just wanting to go to bed, cry, go to sleep. Bed was like a safe space."
Frankie said she found herself being "two versions" of herself, every day Frankie and Frankie from The Saturdays. She explained: "I walked into the room and that was the first time that I'd realised that I'd become like two versions of myself - this person that I thought everyone needed me to be and what the expectation was to like what I was actually feeling inside."
The Mirror have contacted Rochelle and Frankie's reps for comment.
