Frankie Bridge suffers injury on Strictly Come Dancing


Frankie Bridge has suffered an ankle injury while training for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.

The 25-year-old pop star and mum-of-one hurt her left ankle practising moves on the dance floor alongside her professional partner Kevin Clifton.

The Saturdays singer revealed the news on her Instagram account, which featured a picture of Kevin, 31, applying ice to her ankle and with a caption reading: "Ouch!! My 1st Strictly injury."

The ‘What About Us’ star is among the favourites for this year’s competition, but the light-hearted nature of Frankie’s message would suggest her participation in this weekend’s show is not under threat.

Frankie recently revealed she has to take motion-sickness tablets before her ‘Strictly Come Dancing performances.

However, the brunette beauty claimed gruelling rehearsals have left her feeling fitter than ever.

She told OK! magazine: "When I’m spinning, I get really bad motion sickness so I’ll have to take travel sickness tablets.

"Every part of my body aches but my body feels toned and I feel fitter than ever. With touring on top, this is the most exercise I’ve ever done so I’m eating what I want."

What’s more, Frankie spoke of her excitement at the opportunity to change her appearance on the show.

Frankie – who is married to former England footballer Wayne Bridge – said: "I tried to be different and have long hair last year but it didn’t really suit me.

"Everyone changes their hair each week on ‘Strictly’ but I can’t, so the hair and make-up guys were like, ‘Oh we have wigs.’ I’m never going to get to wear wigs any other time so I might as well give them a go."
