The 33-year-old juggles her ITV presenting duties with being the proud mum of boys Carter Bridge, seven, and Parker Bridge, nine, but she always makes a little time for sharing her exciting announcements in the most creative way. Fans love Frankie's updates and one particular baby announcement on Twitter marked a very memorable moment for her followers – and her husband, former Southampton footballer Wayne Bridge.

In January 2015, Frankie's appearance on the BBC's The One Show gave viewers much more than they had anticipated. The Strictly Come Dancing star announced the sad news that she would be pulling out of the Strictly tour on her doctor's orders. However, the announcement took an uplifting turn when she revealed that it was because she was pregnant with her second child!

The first photos of baby Carter made fans swoon

Frankie explained that she was only just recovering from hyperemesis gravidarum, which is an acute form of morning sickness. The condition became well known when Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Kate had suffered from the acute illness during her pregnancies with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Frankie styled her bump like a pro many events

The One Show host and Celebrity Gogglebox star Zoe Ball was visibly delighted with Frankie's news and echoed fans when she exclaimed: "It's wonderful news, congratulations to Frankie, Wayne and baby Parker. We're going to miss you on tour, Frankie."

Baby Parker arrived in time to join in on the big day

Saturdays bandmate Mollie King promptly shared a photo of herself and fellow bandmates Una Healy and Vanessa White as they happily gathered around a Frankie and pointed at her bump. Mollie captioned the snap: "Now the big question is: which baby names go well with Bridge?" which prompted an onslaught of keen fans to suggest all sorts of names.
