Frankie Bridge says she's 'lucky' to have in-laws live with her as they help raise sons

The Saturday's star Frankie Bridge has revealed how "lucky" she is to have her parents-in-law living with her and her husband, Wayne Bridge.

Frankie, 33, currently lives in Surrey with former footballer Wayne, 42, and their two sons Parker, nine, and Carter, seven.

However, the family of four also reside with Wayne's parents Wendy and Mick, which has serious perks according to the Loose Women panellist.

Despite no longer touring the country with The Saturdays who are on an indefinite hiatus, the star often juggles motherhood with a packed schedule.

But having her in-laws living with her appears to have eased Frankie's stress.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, she said: "It means we don't have to rely on a nanny or a babysitter.

"We're lucky in that everything is either me, Wayne or his mum and dad, and that's perfect for us, people ask me how I'm doing and I can't remember the last time I didn't reply 'tired'."

The What About Us singer added: "I think anyone with kids who's also working finds it hard to get that balance and there's this never-ending mum guilt, am I going to make it back for the match?

"Am I there enough for them? And then at the other end, worrying about whether I've given enough of myself to the job."

Earlier this year, Frankie opened up about her living arrangements, admitting that her two sons still sleep in her and Wayne's bed and the couple haven't had a night to themselves since having children.

She also opened up about walking around her home completely naked, in front of their children.

Speaking to her Loose Women co-stars, Jane Moore, Katie Piper and Kaye Adams, about covering up around the home, she said: "I don't see what the issue is. I wouldn't think, 'Oh now is the time to cover up'.

"I think if Parker and Carter started to look uncomfortable or if they started saying, 'Ooh, mummy,' then I would go from there."

Frankie continued: "Parker sometimes, I can see, might feel a bit uncomfortable, so I would cover-up.

"So I just go from their cues but I remember growing up and seeing my parents run to and from the bathroom and I didn't think twice about it.

"Hopefully, I would make them feel comfortable in that way."

The singer explained that she hopes the openness she has with her two children will help them feel comfortable around any future partners.
