British pop star Frankie Sandford has checked into a clinic for undisclosed reasons.

 

The Saturdays star has been missing from recent personal appearances with the band, and she admitted to fans in a message on Twitter.com last week (ends16Oct11) that she had been unwell.

 

She wrote, "Sorry I haven't Tweeted in a while. I've not been very well. Miss u (sic). I'll b (sic) back soon."

 

Sandford's spokesperson has told Britain's Daily Star that the singer has sought professional help for "unconfirmed reasons."

I find this quite worrying...

What sort of clinic?

It doesn't say. However checking into a clinic isn't really ever a good thing.

It might *only* (I use the word loosely) be for exhaustion. I mean, the girls have been working non stop since their debut. :(

I hope we get an official statement soon. This just seems like a shock, it was all going so well! :(

 

I have to say, I'm quite worried for the tour now. What with Una being pregnant, now Frankie will be surely missing a number of rehearsals...

The girls have been supporting of Frankie on Twitter, I hope all is well :(

Every cloud has a silver lining, theyre getting plenty of press coverage lately with reports she had left, and now this. Hope shes well soon

Hope she gets the help she needs from the clinic.

She is a 'part time member' now!

Where is their source? There isn't one. She's been "part time" for nearly 2 months now, it seems weird timing to 'anounce' this now to the press. We've already cottened on! :lol:

 

I guess it's just probabbly a bit of publicity, I mean they even posted about the video remix for My Heart Takes Over.. :mellow:

Digital Spy make anything news!

 

There isn't actualy any refrence to Frankie being part time in that article anywhere. I wonder what they are going to say/get asked on Loose Women on Friday though.

So is she pregnant, on drugs, depressed, having a boob job?

No confirmation. It's not drink or drug related (confirmed), nor is it for cosmetic surgery (confirmed). Depression / exhaustion is likely.

I've always had Mollie down for surgery first, especially after I read an interview where she said she wished she had a bigger chest lol.

Also now confrimed for what it isn't an eating disorder either. Acording to an interview the girls did with The Sun.

 

I also doubt they would hide if it was exsaustion, as that is something that a pop star is naturaly going to have at some point. I reckon it will have been depression. Although it might have been something much more serious... We can only really speculate for now though.

Frankie's announced she will explain everything soon for her fans.

This whole tactic of avoiding answering and saying that she'll explain soon is ridiculous. I can only imagine they want the PR that it gives them in the glossy magazines with speculation over whether Frankie has a drug problem or whatever. Just put out a bloody statement already.

My first thought is now... abortion gone wrong :o

"I was hospitalised, it wasn't rehab," she told The Sun. "I don't think there's anything wrong with rehab. It takes a lot of courage to enter facilities to try to beat any addiction or overcome issues, but mine is a medical condition.

 

"I will talk about it in detail one day soon, for the sake of my fans, as they want to know. But I will say it wasn't alcohol, drugs or an eating disorder. And the dark days are now behind me. My family, friends and boyfriend Wayne Bridge have been wonderful."

 

Hmm, I wonder. :o

I'm thinking depression.
