Loose Women star Frankie Bridge hit back at trolls during Thursday’s installment of the ITV show after they slammed her ‘offensive’ Valentine’s Day dress on Wednesday night
Frankie Bridge was forced to hit back at trolls on Thursday’s Loose Women after her Valentine’s Day dress was slammed for being ‘offensive’.
The Saturdays star, 35, wore a jaw-dropping red cut-out dress on Wednesday and she shared the outfit to her Instagram, writing: “We’re not really ones to celebrate valentines, but how can I stay home when I’ve got this amazing @christopher_esber dress from @byrotation #gifted.”
On Thursday’s Loose Women, Frankie’s co-stars complimented the ensemble and how incredible she looked. However, this prompted Frankie to reveal she had been trolled for the daring dress. Talking about the outfit, Frankie quipped: “How dare I!”, adding: “It came with mixed reviews!

She continued: “I just thought it’s really funny in 2024 that other women would say to other women it was inappropriate or that as a mum I should not be wearing something like that or that it was offensive to my husband!” To which Nadia Sawalha quipped: “I doubt very much your husband was offended!” with Frankie revealing husband Wayne Bridge’s reaction, she said: “He was not offended, let me tell you!”
Frankie admitted the criticism was “weird”, saying: “I just thought it was a cool dress, I didn’t really give it any other thought other than that. The top is really rigid, nothing is going anywhere, I’ve had a lot more out in the past!” She added: “It’s fashion, it’s there to have fun and feel good in it, it was Valentine’s Day, why not!”
Despite some trolls criticising the dress, the majority of Frankie’s 1.6 million followers and celebrity pals went wild for the ensemble. Michelle Keegan wrote: “Wow!” with heart eyes while Katie Piper put a series of fire emojis. Frankie’s husband Wayne, who she married in 2014, even commented, cheekily writing: “Oi oi.”
Elsewhere, one fan said: “Why do people think she gives a s**t if you like the dress! She looks amazing in it! I’d wear it to go to Asda if I had her figure!” while another added: “If you have nothing nice to say just say nothing at all!!! BE KIND!! @frankiebridge you look stunning.”
