A member of the popular girl group The Saturdays, Frankie Bridge is a hugely successful singer and television personality. As well as her work in the entertainment industry, in recent years she’s become an outspoken advocate for mental health working as an ambassador for the charity Mind! Often booked as an inspirational mental health speaker, Frankie discusses her own experiences with depression.
In 2007 The Saturdays were formed and soon catapulted to global fame. An integral member of the band, Frankie’s bubbly, and charismatic personality made her well-loved among fans. In total the band released 13 top ten singles and four studio albums. Their debut album, Chasing Lights was released in 2008 and earned Platinum status.
