Saturdays star Frankie Sandford has been talking about her brief separation from McFly star Dougie Poynter in March.

The singer, 21, told the News of the World that she "was having a bit of a crisis".

"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 admitted.

It seems that single life in the public eye didn’t suit Frankie:

"It all went horribly wrong," she said. "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."

Sandford also vehemently denied rumours in the press linking her with love rat Ashley Cole:

"As if! I've never even met him. I'd get upset and I'd call Dougie and tell him none of the stories were true. We were still talking and texting all the time. I got more and more cut up about what I'd done."

Happily though the pair have now reunited and if Frankie’s comments are anything to go by, their relationship is more serious than ever:

"I never appreciated what I had until I threw it away," she said. "I've been lucky enough to have a second chance. I'm still too young to get married but he's the one I'd like to have kids with some day.

"He's kind, funny, loyal, protective. Now I know there's no-one else like him. I'm not losing him again."
