Saturdays singer Frankie Sanford has revealed why she temporarily split from McFly member Dougie Poynter.

The star admitted that she "was having a bit of a crisis" which prompted the separation in March. 

"We'd been living together for nearly two years and it felt too much too young. I thought I wanted to start partying and being like girls my age," she confessed, before admitted that she quickly regretted the decision.

"It all went horribly wrong. Every day there was a story about me and a new guy in the papers. I'd never had to face that before and I couldn't bear it."

She continued, "I never appreciated what I had until I threw it away," she said. "I've been lucky enough to have a second chance. He's kind, funny, loyal, protective."
