Frankie Bridge gives insight into her marriage as she admits to being 'parented' by Wayne

Frankie Bridge has admitted that her husband Wayne "parents" her.

The Loose Women star chatted with her fellow panellists - Kaye Adams, Carol McGiffin and Nadia Sawalha - about if they were guilty of parenting their partners, but Frankie admitted it was the other way round for her.

Frankie has been married to Wayne since 2014 and they have two children - Parker and Carter.

She also shared how she liked that he "parented" her in their relationship, as she admitted Wayne doesn't like how she stacks the dishwasher, so now she just leaves him to do it instead - but insisted she does have her own role in the house.

During the chat, she said: "I would say it's probably more around the other way, Wayne parents me. I quite like it.

"I'm useless around the house, he always says I don't know about the dishwasher. I don't stack it right so I just leave it to him. I'm a put it into the sink and let Wayne deal with it."

Kaye then added: "Isn't that fascinating? That's complete role reversal from the stereotypes. Usually it's the woman who says he doesn't know how to do anything so I do it."

"I'm quite messy, he's really tidy. Don't get me wrong, we have our roles in the house," Wayne added as Nadia then replied: "It must be great for him since you joined Loose Women because we now think Wayne is a god."

She then joked back: "I know, he comes across as amazing. I'll tell you what, he's not perfect!"

Meanwhile, Frankie previously explained how she and Wayne were brought closer by her battle with depression.

"We've been together ten years and I would say we've only really got better at communicating in the last couple of years. I had my breakdown right early on, it was in our first year of our relationship together and he was amazing," she said previously.

"He could've run for the hills, but he didn't. He stuck around and he tried to learn as much as he could through my therapists and doctors at the time. It was a real stress for him.

"It's not him that's making me unhappy, it's not our relationship that's making me unhappy, it's just my depression. And I feel for him because that must be really hard. I know when he's having a bit of a rubbish day you can't help but take it personally."
