From going on a UK tour with the Strictly Comes Dancing 2016 crew to working on a fundraising campaign with terminal illness support charity Marie Curie, it’s fair to say that Frankie Bridge has a full on schedule.

And the former The Saturdays singer has opened up about the struggle of being away from her two little ones – Parker, two, and Carter, seven months – for long periods of time. Often she’s away from her boys for up to a week, which is understandably difficult.

Speaking to Reveal, the 27-year-old said:

"Being away from the boys was hard, but I think because I missed out on the Strictly tour last year I knew in my head that I'd go back this year, so I was prepared for it.”

During the 2015 tour, Frankie was pregnant with her second baby, Carter.

Clearly it all gets very tiring for the busy mum!

While hard, Frankie has admitted that having a helpful stay-at-home husband makes it easier on them as a family.

The brunette beauty married footballer Wayne Bridge in 2014, and since his knee injury in that same year, the former West Ham player has become the primary care giver, staying at home with the two tots.

Frankie is also in the process of working on a documentary looking into internet bullying, taking to Twitter to ask for the experiences of her fans and followers to discuss.

She previously spoke about how being a victim of online troll. Speaking on the Victoria Derby show last year, the singer said:

“In the past, especially when I was pregnant and I put on a bit of weight, people were very quick to make comments on Twitter, saying that I was fat, or that I’d lost it, whatever "it" is.

“Just really dragged me down. It was something that I was already really self-conscious about and the minute someone draws attention to that it just drags you down even more.”

Poor Frankie!

Well, keep at the hard work Frankie. We’re sure your boys will be super proud!
