Frankie Bridge has opened up about her own feelings of guilt, after her sister Victoria Cook’s tragic miscarriages.
Appearing on This Morning on Friday (May 10), the former Saturdays singer supported her sister Tor as she described the horror of miscarrying her third baby just weeks ago.

Hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford introduced Tor, who revealed she’d decided to share her grief after losing baby number three last month.
After talking about her heartbreak on social media because she was “lonely” and “looking for support”, Tor was overwhelmed by the messages she received and decided to speak publicly about the issue.
Frankie, in turn, admitted she often “didn’t know what to say” to her sister and her husband James, and was mindful of appearing “blasé” because she has two children of her own.

Frankie, who is mum to Parker, five, and Carter, three, said that she has struggled to find the right words when it comes to comforting her sister.
When Eamonn asked Frankie if she felt guilty, she answered: “It’s been quite difficult to know what the right thing is to say – rightly or wrongly – because I do have two kids, I don’t want to sound blasé about it.”
“But I know Tor doesn’t really feel like that, also she doesn’t want me to feel sorry for her. She’s quite practical. It’s been quite hard.”
Victoria – who is affectionately known as Tor and lives in Bermuda – said that people are usually shocked when she tells them she has had three miscarriages because “no one really talks about miscarriages”.
She also revealed she’s currently having tests and not giving up on her dream to have a child.
Despite living in a different country to her sister, Frankie and Tor FaceTime regularly to chat and give each other support.
