To which Nadia Sawalha quipped: "I doubt very much your husband was offended!" with Frankie revealing husband Wayne Bridge's reaction, she said: "He was not offended, let me tell you!"
Frankie admitted the criticism was "weird", saying: "I just thought it was a cool dress, I didn't really give it any other thought other than that. The top is really rigid, nothing is going anywhere, I've had a lot more out in the past!" She added: "It's fashion, it's there to have fun and feel good in it, it was Valentine's Day, why not!"
