Loose Women star Frankie Bridge has told Instagram fans ‘final goodbyes are hard’ while opening up about a sad loss.
Frankie, 34, shared how late neighbour Susie “became our family” in a post containing images of The Saturdays singer with her “special” friend.
One photo showed Frankie, wearing a ‘Bride’ hen do sash, and her sister Tor kissing Susie on both cheeks. And two more pics depicted Frankie, her mum Viv, and Susie all beaming alongside one another.
Hailing Susie’s involvement in her life, Frankie said in the upload’s caption: “There’s nothing she hasn’t been a part of.”

In an emotional tribute, Frankie wrote yesterday (Monday July 24): “Goodbyes are hard… especially the final ones… Today we said our last goodbye to Susie… the neighbour that became our family.
“She’s been there for us all through the good, the bad, the big and the small. And that’s the thing that makes chosen family so special… she chose to be there!
And that’s the thing that makes chosen family so special… Susie chose to be there!
“She’s been my biggest fan and biggest cheerleader throughout my whole life. There’s nothing she hasn’t been a part of. She’d have hated today, because it was all about her! Sorry Sue… but we love you! X.”
