Quotes from Frankie Bridge

I planned both my pregnancies, although I guess I didn't think Carter would come along quite as quickly as he did.

I think it's really easy for women that haven't put on weight to make comments about other women's pregnancies.

I want to have my children, but I don't want to look like I have them. You're not really allowed to say that. Some days I go, 'It is what it is.' But sometimes I carry it around like a shame that I've gained so much weight while I was pregnant, and I lost control.

When I fell pregnant in 2013, I wanted to come off my medication. But my doctor said, 'You won't be able to be a mum to your newborn child if you're in hospital.' He was right and I continued taking them through pregnancy.

In The Saturdays we went to a premiere once and we wore these dresses and all I can describe them as is colourful bin bags with bows on. And I knew they were bad at the time and remember saying that I really didn't want to wear them but it was the only option we had. I still look back and I think, 'I knew it at the time.'

I've had to think about my haircare more seriously since growing it long. When you have short hair you're constantly dealing with much younger sections of hair and it always looks really healthy. With longer hair it takes more time and dedication.

My mum wasn't able to deliver either me or my sister naturally and we're very similar build, so the doctors advised me that I'd most likely run into similar problems. Having C-sections made sense and the doctors were all for it.

I have treatment-resistant depression and I need to take medication to rebalance my brain chemistry - just like someone with asthma needs theirs.

As we all know, mental health matters, while we still have a long way to go, we're starting to see the wheels turning for real and meaningful change. As a parent of young boys, the fact these conversations will be happening at home, in their friendship groups and in the classroom is so important.

I learned a lot about make-up during my years in The Saturdays. For all of us, make-up ended up being a real mask of confidence. We used to wear a lot of heavy make-up because we were on stage so much. I remember at one point having two or three sets of false eyelashes applied in one go.

I am absolutely thrilled that Dr Alex George has been appointed as the Youth Ambassador for Mental Health. The work he'll be doing in schools, universities, the NHS and wider public is incredible.

It really irritates me when I see people in the public eye who pretend they do it all and I know they don't.

For me in the past, working out has been a real chore and a punishment. When you're down that route, you're never going to keep it up.

I hate New Year's Eve! I never make resolutions because I never stick to them and it puts a lot of pressure on me.

Yes, in The Saturdays I had my big, long fringe. My hair was quite long at the front and shorter at the back. I used it to hide behind, it became a form of armour for me. The pixie cut came later but I kept my fringe. My fringe became one of my distinguishing features in the band, the thing that people knew me for.

I wear false eyelashes at work so I get used to that fuller look all the time, so when I get home, I'm like 'ugh, it's not the same.'

It does bother me, getting old, and it really annoys me that it does.

In all, I've tried more than ten different forms of antidepressant, anti-anxiety meds and tranquillisers. I continue to spend hours of my life in therapy because I believe the two should always go hand in hand.

Firstly, I would say 'kindness is free' - we've all been on the receiving end of a smile from someone when you need it and it can work wonders. And secondly 'take risks' - sometimes the very thing you fear is actually what you need to do.

I think it is going to be a total rollercoaster of laughing, crying, loving it, hating it, wanting to stay, wanting to go but that is what going on 'I'm A Celebrity' is all about.

Women should be honest about the fact that although having a baby is wonderful, it can be hard.

My nan and grandad looked after us when I was young while my parents worked, and most of my childhood memories are with them.

I genuinely think there's a workout for everyone. Sometimes you have to think outside the box.

A dance or steps workout is so enjoyable, as you have to think about the moves, so you haven't got time to think about anything else or how much it hurts.
