Frankie Bridge shared a tearful selfie to Instagram to mark her ‘blue Monday‘ just hours after husband Wayne dramatically pulled out of his fight with KSI.
The former Chelsea defender, 44, who has been married to Loose Women panellist, 36, since 2014, quit after the boxer’s jibe regarding his ex-girlfriend’s alleged affair with John Terry.
Frankie, who has been open about her struggles with depression, posted the heartbreaking photo as she gazed into the camera before sharing snaps to remind herself how hard she has been working on her health.
The Saturdays singer slipped into workout gear and hit the gym, as well as yoga and wore Kind Patches that absorb nutrients through the skin.
Frankie, who shares sons Parker, nine, and Carter, seven, with her husband, later returned to her Stories as she built up a sweat during her workout.
The stunner admitted she’d done everything she could to avoid the exercise, but was feeling great after completing it.

KSI asked Wayne during the face-off: ‘Aren’t you the guy that let John Terry smash your ex?’
She captioned the post: ‘Today is blue Monday so I’m reminding myself of everything I’ve been working on’.
Bridge announced in a statement he’d pulled out of the fight after KSI aimed a jibe at him after Misfits Boxing 20 on Saturday night, regarding his ex-girlfriend’s alleged affair with fellow Chelsea player Terry.
During a face-off in the ring with Bridge, KSI said: ‘Aren’t you the guy that let John Terry smash your ex?’ Bridge replied: ‘You want to go there straight away do you?’
‘I’m pretty sure that’s what you’re known for,’ KSI added, before riling up the crowd and starting a chant that went: ‘Vanessa woah, Vanessa woah’, referencing Bridge’s ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel.
KSI proceeded to add X-rated words to his chant that directly referenced Terry and Bridge’s former partner.
Bridge then announced that he wished to protect his family from such comments and will seek another challenge in the ring later down the line.
The statement read: ‘I’m sure a lot of you have seen what happened on Saturday night at the Misfits Boxing event.
‘Firstly, I think it’s important that I explain my reason for accepting the fight. I always like to challenge myself. This felt like a good opportunity to go up against an interesting opponent on a big stage.

‘I have always loved boxing as part of my everyday training routine. I was fully prepared to train hard and have some fun. Of course, I expected to face some criticism, but I feel like what was said on Saturday crossed a line.
‘These are deeply personal comments that affect mine and other families involved in the situation. I’m a family man first and my priority is protecting them.
‘My opponent is someone that many children look up to around the, including my kids. I hope one day he will look back on this differently. I personally don’t want to be involved in these exchanges. I will no longer be fighting on March 29.
‘I’m still looking out for my next big challenge and have some exciting things coming up in 2025. Thanks for all the love. The support has been overwhelming.
‘I want my friends and family to know how special they are. Deep down I know this is the right thing to do.’
Bridge’s relationship with Perroncel broke down amid the allegations that she had an affair with former Blues and England captain Terry – who was Bridge’s team-mate at the time.
Terry and Bridge were later goaded over the situation by rival supporters and the pair are no longer friends over the incident.

Bridge has fought before, defeating Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews in a charity bout seven years ago.
He hung up his boots in 2014 following a career which saw him win the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup at Chelsea.
Bridge also played for Southampton, Fulham, West Ham, Sunderland and Brighton and picked up 36 England caps. Those who know him say he remains in peak condition.
