Frankie Bridge welcomes adorable new family member and shares Star Wars themed name

Frankie Bridge has revealed the latest adorable addition to her family, who has a Star Wars themed name.

The Loose Women panellist, 33, took to Instagram to introduce her new Cavapoochon puppy. Named Leia, she is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, a poodle and a bichon frise, with black fur and patches of white on her face, chest, stomach and paws.

Frankie shared a sweet series of snaps of the tiny puppy as she settled into her new home. In one, she is snuggled up into Frankie's shoulder as the former Saturdays star captured a selfie.

Leia can also be seen snuggling up with Frankie's sons Parker, 8, and Carter, 6, while in another photo the furry friend is captured gazing lovingly at the singer's husband Wayne Bridge. In one picture, Leia is laying on the floor across from the family's Maltipoo puppy Turbo, who the family welcomed in January last year.

Captioning the photos, Frankie said: "We’ve had a girl! Meet Leia Bridge … yes as in Princess Leia… guess who named her?! We are all totally in love… as you can see… she’s slotted right in… Turbo is currently not convinced and wondering when she’s going to go home?!"

Friends and fans rushed to the comments to coo over the puppy. Ex-bandmate Mollie King commented: "She’s adorable!! Love her!" while @gill.rushworth said: "Another girl in the house!! You must be thrilled!!"

"Just gorgeous... The puppies, your boys and your hubby, what a lovely family you have," gushed @liznc29 as @portiaportiaaaa added: "Oh stop it!! She’s gorgeous" with three sparkling heart emojis.
