Frankie, married to former England footballer Wayne Bridge, has sent this message to her fans and supporters: “Wayne and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting our second baby. Although this is such an incredible time for us as a family, due to health reasons I am sadly unable to go on the Strictly tour as planned. I’m devastated that I’m missing out, as I loved Strictly so much and was so looking forward to joining everyone again in all those fabulous arenas. Thanks for the warm messages I’ve a ready received, they are really appreciated.”
