Frankie Bridge shared a tearful selfie on Instagram to mark her “blue Monday,” just hours after her husband, Wayne Bridge, dramatically pulled out of his fight with KSI.
The 44-year-old former Chelsea defender, married to the 36-year-old Loose Women panellist since 2014, made the decision to withdraw from the fight following a jibe from KSI about his ex-girlfriend’s alleged affair with John Terry.
In her emotional post, Frankie, who has been candid about her struggles with depression, gazed into the camera, reflecting on her feelings. She also shared additional photos to remind herself of the progress she has made in her health journey, emphasizing her commitment to personal well-being despite the emotional challenges.

Later, she returned to her Instagram Stories, showing herself working up a sweat during her exercise routine. Frankie admitted that she had tried to avoid the workout but felt great afterward for having completed it.
The singer, who shares two sons, Parker, nine, and Carter, seven, with her husband Wayne, has been focusing on her fitness as part of her health journey.

Meanwhile, her husband, Wayne Bridge, publicly announced his decision to pull out of his fight with KSI following a derogatory comment from the boxer. KSI had taunted Wayne by referencing an affair between Wayne’s ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel and former Chelsea teammate John Terry. The comment, along with an inappropriate chant from the crowd, led Wayne to announce that he would withdraw from the fight.
In his statement, Wayne explained his decision to accept the fight initially, stating that it was a challenge he was eager to take on but had chosen to walk away after KSI’s remarks, prioritizing his family’s well-being over continuing with the match. He expressed his intent to pursue another opportunity in the ring at a later time, without the need for such personal attacks.
Wayne Bridge expressed his frustration with KSI’s jibe during the Misfits Boxing event, explaining that the personal attack crossed a line. In his statement, Wayne emphasized his priority of protecting his family, especially given that his children look up to figures like KSI. He admitted to initially accepting the fight to challenge himself but ultimately decided to withdraw after the disrespectful comments.
He also reflected on the personal history behind the comments, referencing the cheating scandal involving his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel and former teammate John Terry, which had already caused significant public turmoil. Wayne stated that he would seek a new challenge in 2025, thanking supporters for their overwhelming love and expressing his confidence that stepping away from the fight was the right decision for his family.
Vanessa Perroncel has consistently denied the affair allegations, which surfaced in 2009, and has claimed to have legal documents to prove her innocence.
Wayne Bridge, who has a strong athletic background, has previously participated in boxing, notably defeating Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews in a charity match seven years ago.
After retiring from football in 2014, Bridge had a successful career that included winning major trophies like the Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup at Chelsea, in addition to stints with Southampton, Fulham, West Ham, Sunderland, and Brighton. He also earned 36 England caps. Despite his retirement from football, those close to him say he remains in excellent physical condition.#newsafro_
