TFrankie Bridge and Rochelle Humes are said to have fallen out – but both deny they are in a secret feud that is raising eyebrows among showbiz circles.
The former bandmates became friends in childhood, both finding fame in S Club Juniors before joining Rochelle Humes, Una Healy, Mollie King and Vanessa White in The Saturdays.
Yet in recent months, their relationship is said to have soured, with the pair reportedly snubbing each other when they attended Wimbledon last month.
Speculation of a feud then went into overdrive when Frankie shared a TikTok video about holding a grudge – with fans questioning if she was referring to Rochelle.
The pair were both pictured enjoying the hospitality at the tennis tournament but it is said they kept their interactions to a minimum.
An onlooker claimed: ‘It was clear the women were keeping their distance. They sat on opposite sides of the suite and kept to themselves.’

They added to The Sun: ‘While Frankie posed for pictures with S Club’s Rachel Stevens, Rochelle took selfies with her husband Marvin and his I’m A Celebrity campmate Sam Thompson.
‘Even though they were pleasant to each other when they did brush shoulders, they didn’t spend any extra time together than they had to, in between being amicable while passing each other en route to watch the tennis.’
Frankie’s representatives told Daily Mail that there is ‘absolutely no feud’ between the pair, while The Sun reports that those close to Rochelle insist there is ‘no feud’.
Yet that didn’t stop Frankie posting a cryptic social media post on Monday that was captioned: ‘You’re so quiet… Thanks, you said something five years ago and I’ve just realised you’re actually dead to me.’
The TikTok video showed Frankie sipping on a glass of wine and was set to the music of Avril Lavigne’s What The Hell.
Frankie then added below: ‘Takes me a while, but once you’re dead you’re dead.’
She didn’t specify who or what incident she was talking about in the post.
While Frankie and Rochelle found fame as singers they have since both turned their hand to the world of TV – with Frankie a regular panelist on Loose Women, while Rochelle is a stand-in presenter for This Morning.

Fans were quick to question if the post about making a grudge was aimed at Rochelle

Rochelle previously dashed hopes of a Saturdays reunion by saying she ‘couldn’t imagine’ being in the pop group again.
Speaking in 2021, she said: ‘We all see each other, but we’ve not had a conversation about that. I just can’t imagine doing that again.’
She also candidly revealed that her priorities have changed now that she’s a mother, telling The Sun she no longer works weekends as ‘they are for my kids’.
Rochelle explained: ‘Everything has to fit around them. Even thinking about the band reunion, it wouldn’t work for my life now as my priorities are them.
‘For half-term, I took two weeks off and everybody still tried to call me, but I was like: “No, I’m not working.” I’m not on my phone and I’m really present for them.’
Rochelle has daughters daughters Alaia-Mai, 12, Valentina, eight, and son Blake, four, with JLS star Marvin Humes.
In 2020, Una confirmed she would be keen to reunite the band and said the comeback would be ‘possible without one member’.
She told The Sun: ‘I would love to do something with the girls again. I’m ready for it, any time. If the phone call came to say, “You’re going back on tour in six months,” I’d be like, “Yes, absolutely, bring it on.”
‘It is possible to do it without one member but I think if it was two or three, I don’t think The Saturdays would be The Saturdays.
‘If there was one that didn’t want to, we wouldn’t force them into it and it’s their decision, but it would be so lovely if it was all five of us.’

The pair went on to join The Saturdays (L-R Una Healy, Vanessa White, Frankie, Mollie King and Rochelle pictured in 2014)
Before joining The Saturdays, Rochelle and Frankie were first bandmates in S Club Juniors, which were a spin-off from pop group S Club 7.
Frankie previously hinted that S Club Juniors could reunite and told how two of her ex-bandmates had reached out to her.
The singer shared a clip of herself to her Instagram Stories, in which she revealed that both Calvin Goldspink and Aaron Renfree both texted her excitedly about the possibility.
Admitting that she is not currently aware of any reunion plans, Frankie added: ‘But it would be fun, wouldn’t it?’
The pop group, which formed in 2001, was the mini-me version of S Club 7, and forged a huge fanbase of their own during their heyday before splitting in 2004.
This week has seen Rochelle hosting This Morning from London, while Frankie has been living it up in the Maldives.
The family have been joined by Wayne’s friend, football coach husband Luke Hampton, who was also celebrating his birthday, and Frankie’s pal Leah Meredith – who is CBO of her brand Faves.
