Frankie Bridge has been flooded with support and praise as she shared some personal news with her fans. The Loose Women star has revealed that she's putting her walking boots back on and is taking part in breast cancer charity CoppaFeel's latest money-raising trek.
In June, Frankie will be joining CoppaFeel patron and former I'm A Celebrity winner, Giovanna Fletcher, as they lead 120 trekkers to take on 100km of the world-famous Hadrian's Wall Country in a bid to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds towards the charity's life-saving mission.
Taking to Instagram, Frankie posed for a pouting selfie as she held up her walking boots and sported a CoppaFeel branded tee. "It's that time again. I’m getting ready to take part in this year's @coppafeelpeople country trek," the 34-year-old started the caption of her post.

And Frankie, who is married to former footballer Wayne Bridge, shared why her involvement this year is even more poignant than ever before. "This year, it means even more, as my amazing Mum has just completed her treatment after her own breast cancer journey," she told.
