Frankie Bridge reveals she was ‘triggered’ by plane passenger asking her to ‘control her child’

‘I just lost it’: Frankie Bridge reveals she told a woman on a plane to ‘shut up and get her own jet’ after passenger asked her to ‘control her child’


Frankie Bridge has recalled the moment she ‘just lost it’ with a fellow plane passenger.

Speaking on Wednesday’s Loose Women, the Saturdays star, 32, explained she had been asked to ‘control her child’ by another passenger and was ‘triggered’ by the woman’s comment, telling fellow panelists Christine Lampard, Carol McGiffin and Brenda Edwards: ‘Maybe this is the time where I told someone to shut up. I argued with this woman.’

Frankie – who shares sons Parker, seven, and Carter, six, with her husband Wayne – added: ‘I think at one point I told her that she should go and get her own private jet if she can’t handle being with the general public.’

Frankie’s comments came as the panel discussed whether or not crying children should be banned from restaurants.

Elaborating her point, doting mum Frankie added: ‘With someone who you can tell are making the effort to stop their child from doing that, then what can you say?’

She added: ‘If they’re just sitting on their phone ignoring them and you’re trying to have a nice meal or whatever, then I completely understand.’

‘But the word ”control”… I had someone on a flight come up to me once and say, ”You need to control your naughty child” – it’s quite triggering for me!’

It comes after Frankie proudly exhibited her latest tattoo, which was inspired by her sons.

The singer was keen to show off her latest inking with her 1.3million Instagram followers on Monday, which reads ‘more than the world’ in delicate scripture across the side of her rib cage.

The mother-of-two divulged that she wanted a tattoo for the boys for a long time, but held back due to indecisiveness.

Alongside the fresh inking, she penned: ‘So this just happened!!! I love it so much [lovestruck emoji] I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for the boys for a really long time … but didn’t really know what I wanted it to be…

‘We tell each other, ‘I love you more than the world’ every day… so when I came across @conzthomastattoo delicate scripture I knew instantly what I wanted [sic] and he’s nailed it … ‘#tattoo #love.’
