TV fans love a bit of behind-the-scenes gossip, but it’s not often the tension between co-hosts actually spills over on live television.
That’s exactly what seemed to happen during an episode of Loose Women last year — and the awkward energy between Myleene Klass and Frankie Bridge didn’t go unnoticed.
What looked like a simple festive episode quietly became one of the most uncomfortable panels in the show’s recent history.
Now, that moment is making headlines again — with whispers that ITV had to step in behind the scenes to keep their stars from clashing further.
A Silent Feud Resurfaces On Air
The uncomfortable moment was caught on doorbell-level detail by viewers.
Myleene and Frankie — reportedly not on great terms — ended up on the same Loose Women panel around Christmas 2024, despite allegedly asking not to be booked together.
Sources say the appearance only happened due to a staff shortage, and once on set, producers reportedly sat Kaye Adams and Linda Robson between them to reduce any risk of tension.
During a seemingly casual chat about the sluggish period between Christmas and New Year, Frankie shared that she often feels “a bit lost” during that time.
Cameras cut to Myleene, who responded with a smile that could only be described as… icy.
A Web of Past Tensions and an Ex-Husband at the Center
This isn’t just a case of two co-workers not clicking.
There’s a deeper web of connections, and it centers around Myleene’s ex-husband, Graham Quinn — a former bodyguard who once worked closely with both Frankie and Rochelle Humes during their Saturdays days.
In fact, Rochelle recently posted a photo of herself and husband Marvin enjoying a getaway in Ibiza — alongside Graham Quinn.
That came just days after Myleene publicly accused her ex of cheating on her with a celebrity at her own birthday party.
Insiders say the Ibiza photo was the final straw for Myleene, calling it “game over” in terms of any civility left between her and Rochelle.
While Rochelle hasn’t commented, the timing raised more than a few eyebrows.
Frankie’s Cryptic TikTok Sends Fans Into Detective Mode
If you thought things couldn’t get messier — enter social media.
Frankie recently posted a TikTok video with the caption, “You’re so quiet… Thanks, you said something five years ago and I’ve just realised you’re actually dead to me.”
She sipped wine while Avril Lavigne played in the background.
Fans immediately began speculating — was she talking about Rochelle? The two former bandmates were once close, but reportedly snubbed each other at Wimbledon just last month.
They were spotted at the same hospitality suite but sat on opposite sides, barely interacting.
An onlooker even noted, “They were pleasant when they crossed paths, but they clearly weren’t spending time together.”
From Childhood Fame to Quiet Competition
It’s worth remembering that Frankie, Rochelle, and Myleene all have deep roots in UK pop culture.
Frankie and Rochelle both shot to fame as kids in S Club Juniors before moving on to The Saturdays.
Myleene came from the pop group Hear’Say — where she met Graham Quinn.
According to insiders, the women’s paths have been crossing — and colliding — for years.
There’s even chatter that Myleene approached Frankie at the 2013 Glamour Women of the Year Awards, feeling she’d been deliberately ignored.
After that, both women allegedly asked to avoid working together.
Competing for Space at ITV
Beyond the personal drama, there’s an undercurrent of career competition.
Rochelle has presented This Morning, while Frankie has found a regular spot on Loose Women.
Some insiders claim Frankie has become close with ITV producers and has more say behind the scenes than people realise.
A source told The Sun, “They’ve been competing since they were 12, and now it’s for top ITV roles.
It makes booking shows tricky when producers have to keep them apart.”
Apparently, if Rochelle is presenting This Morning and Frankie is on the next show, producers try to make the handover as brief as possible to avoid awkward encounters.
Myleene Breaks Her Silence on the Cheating Scandal
Meanwhile, Myleene has opened up about her devastating split from Graham Quinn.
Speaking on Paul Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast, she recalled the day she caught her then-fiancé with another woman — a woman she describes as being “famous” and who built a public image around “family values.”
Myleene said she walked in on the two unzipping each other’s clothes at her own birthday party.
“They weren’t having sex,” she said, “but it was obvious. They both said, ‘It’s not what you think,’ and I thought, ‘It absolutely is.’”
Despite the betrayal, Myleene still married him months later.
The couple separated just six months after tying the knot. Reflecting now, she says the cheating was a major red flag she tried to ignore.
The Fallout Lingers Years Later
Today, Myleene admits that while she’s made peace with the situation, it’s been hard watching the other woman continue to “build a family brand” in the public eye.
She added, “My life fell apart very publicly, and theirs didn’t.”
And while she’s been careful not to spell out the names involved, fans have been quick to connect the dots, especially with Rochelle’s continued connection to Graham — even holidaying with him in Ibiza after the scandal resurfaced.
Everyone Says There’s No Feud — But Nobody Seems Friendly
Representatives for both Frankie and Rochelle have denied any falling out.
Frankie’s team says there is “absolutely no feud.” Rochelle’s people insist the same.
Myleene’s camp, however, has declined to comment.
And yet, cryptic TikToks, awkward on-air smiles, and very calculated photo ops seem to tell a different story — one of years-long tensions, private betrayals, and quiet competition that’s now impossible to keep under wraps.
