“Welcome to the wifey club”: Frankie Sandford and Wayne Bridge are engaged!

The Saturdays star announces her engagement on Twitter and Instagram by posting a pic of her with a giant sparkler on her finger!

OMG, I'm like totally engaged!

It’s soon to be marriage number three for girl group The Saturdays as it’s just been announced today that Frankie is set to wed her footballer beau Wayne Bridge.

The sexy singer revealed the news, by following the latest celeb trend by posting a picture on her social media pages- Millie from made in Chelsea recently did this, I bet she’s fuming that Frankie stole her posh thunder!

On her Twitter and Instagram accounts, Frankie posts a pic of her showing off the huge iceberg ring (and pretty pink nails!) with her new fiancé kissing her on the cheek- aaw!

The rest of the Saturdays have tweeted their delight at the exciting news. 

Una tweeted:  "So Happy for @FrankieTheSats and Wayne who have recently got engaged X"
Whilst Rochelle then congratulated the pair, saying: "Big congratulations to @FrankieTheSats and Wayney. He did so well :-) and the ring is to die for in the flesh. Welcome to the wifey club xxx"
Vanessa then added: "Congrats @FrankieTheSats & Wayne! So happy for you guys. Woooooo xxx"

The girls official site also had kind words to say: "LOTS AND LOTS of love and best wishes to our @FrankieTheSats and Wayne!! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together! xoxo"

The former S Club Juniors member (pretty sure she loves to be reminded of this) will become the third bride in the group after her fellow band members Una Healy and Rochelle Humes got married last year.  

The happy couple

And with both girls a new mum and a mum-to-be, will there be a tiny pitter patter of feet coming for Frankie and Wayne soon?  Who knows.

One thing’s for sure, Mollie and Vanessa better hurry up and announce some good news quick, otherwise they’ll feel all left out and a tad jealous (although probably not of Wayne Bridge, more of that that chandelier Franks calls a ring)

How about Mollie announces that she’s getting a new micro pig or Vanessa tweets that she found a tenner on the floor at Waitrose? Now that’s one way to make the headlines!

The BRITS are the PITS!

Watching the BRIT Awards last week, I can only draw one conclusion: it’s the pits!

Long gone are the days where the awards were a wild drunken affair where pop stars and rock stars alike really let their hair down and actually had a GOOD TIME! Last week’s awards ceremony seemed drab, boring and far too sensible. 

It’s quite obvious that the producers wanted everything to be perfect and after last year’s ‘Adele-gate’ where host James Cordon cut off the star halfway through her acceptance speech, it’s clear that they were trying too hard. So hard in fact that they did the final acceptance speech BEFORE the ad break, so the closing act (this year Emeli Sande- yes, her AGAIN!), would have the whole of the final section to perform. However, in their desperate attempt to stay on the right side of PC, the makers of the BRITS has lost the whole essence of the show and misplaced that certain something that has previously made the BRITS one of the most anticipated events in British music.

 What happened to the days of yesteryear when Britpop giants Oasis and Blur went head-to-head or where a drunken Jarvis Cocker attempted to ruin Michael Jackson’s performance or Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood presented a shambolic show where auto cues and microphones proved to be catalysts for disaster? Yes, these are eyebrow-raising events but they are MEMORABLE events that will go down in the BRIT awards HISTORY! What did we have to remember from this year? One Direction proving that they have amazing talent... at murdering two songs in one go! Or what about those good but safe performances by Mumford and Sons, Ben Howard and even Justin Timberlake. All great artists, but seriously- YAWN!!  The most exciting thing part was when Taylor Swift ripped off her wedding dress and revealed a sexy black outfit underneath whilst performing her really catchy tune I knew you were trouble. This moved was no doubt to show ex boyfriend/song inspiration Harry Styles what he’s missing. 

 

But seriously, if the BRITS don’t want to go down the same way as the MOBO’S (I mean, who still watches that?) then they have to pull their dull, grey socks up! Loosen up and let the BRITS be the fun, unpredictable night it once was. Let it not all be about the ‘suits’ making stupid ‘executive decisions’ but allow it to be about the MUSIC and the all important FANS. Otherwise it’ll be all over as fast as you can say “ratings flop”- I kid you not!
