Frankie Bridge reunites with ex-bandmate on holiday 18 years after band split

Former The Saturdays and S Club 8 member Frankie Bridge delighted fans on when she posted a selfie with ex-bandmate Calvin Goldspink whilst on holiday in Los Angeles. The 33-year old Loose Women panellist shared a Boomerang clip of them together with a caption reading "21 years later… and Calvin still hates having his picture taken with me #sclubjuniors #sclub8 #brother #reunited’."

Calvin, also 33, is pictured sporting a beard wearing shades and baseball cap. Frankie looks sun-kissed wearing white tank top, hoop earrings and gold chain necklace. The photo is a major throwback for S Club 8 fans with Frankie's selfie with Calvin prompting a number of nostalgic comments.

One Instagram user commented: " Wow that is Calvin!! My childhood is right there" whilst another said: " OMG, Love you guys, I'm actually doing a rewatch of "I Dream".

I Dream was a 2004 children's musical comedy tv programme in which all S Club 8 members played exaggerated versions of themselves. The pair lead the song Dreaming from the final series which reach number 19 on the UK singles chart 2004.

The group had several chart-topping hits in the top ten including debut single One Step Closer followed up with Automatic High which reached number two. Albums Together and Sun Down charted at five and sixteen in the UK album charts.

The pair met as pre-teens whilst auditioning for the spin-off band of S Club 7 as part of the CBBC reality show, S Club Search. Originally created to support their predecessors during their 2002 S Club 7 Carnival tour, the band became a phenomenon in itself and went on to release original material.

After splitting up in 2005, Frankie went on to form part of the girl band the Saturdays enjoying more chart success with Up, Just Can’t Get Enough and What About Us. Calvin forged his own path too as a solo artist and created his own music industry company called Breaking Sound.

His single The Cold was written during a tumultuous time living in LA and his song Don't Fail Me Now has been featured on Netflix and has appeared in several adverts. Currently, he still lives in the USA with his wife Melissa and two children supporting emerging artists internationally.

Frankie is married to footballer Wayne Bridge and has two sons. In 2021 she appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and finished third. This year, she has launched her own affordable clothing range with Tesco's F&F (Florence and Fred).
