Former S Club Juniors sensation Frankie Bridge has made a startling admission about her early pop career finances, confessing she managed to blow through her entire fortune during her teenage years in the spotlight.
The 35-year-old singer, who found fame at just twelve years old, revealed the shocking truth during a candid conversation on her podcast "Open Mind" with fiancé Max George of The Wanted.
The Hard Truth About Early Fame
Bridge didn't hold back when discussing her financial missteps, telling listeners: "I had a fortune and I absolutely squandered it." The Saturday's star explained how her young age and sudden wealth created a perfect storm for poor money management.
"I was so young when I started earning," she reflected. "By the time I was old enough to understand the value of money, it was pretty much all gone."
From Child Star to Financial Reality
The journey began in 2001 when Bridge joined S Club Juniors at twelve, experiencing immediate success with the group. However, the transition from child star to financially responsible adult proved challenging.
Bridge confessed that her lack of financial education and youthful perspective meant she didn't appreciate the earnings she was accumulating during her peak pop years.
A Candid Conversation With Max George
The revelation came during a heartfelt discussion with her partner Max George, where both artists opened up about the unique financial pressures facing young performers. Bridge's honesty about her past mistakes highlights the darker side of child stardom that often goes unseen.
Now a mother of two and successful media personality, Bridge has clearly learned from her early financial errors, building a sustainable career beyond her pop origins.
Her story serves as both a cautionary tale and an inspiring example of rebuilding after financial missteps, proving that early mistakes don't have to define one's future.
