Frankie Sandford: Split from Dougie Poynter did us both good

The Saturdays star missed her boyfriend but time apart helped their relationship

Frankie Sandford is glad she’s reunited with Dougie Poynter.

The Saturdays star and the McFly hunk broke up in March after a year of dating.

Frankie admits she found it hard living without Dougie, 22, during their brief separation.

‘[It was] really tough,’ she explains.

‘In the first few weeks you think you will be OK, and you think about dating other people but then it gets to a point when you really miss them.’

Frankie, 21, insists the split has strengthened her relationship with Dougie.

‘We got to a point where we needed time apart,’ she says.

‘It was all getting a bit much and we decided to take a break. To be honest, that time apart has done us the world of good. We needed it.’

Dougie and Frankie were spotted in London last night having what looked like an emotional chat. Here’s an article from 3am:

Ah yes, looks like the familiar post-break up ‘are you OK?’ chat

About one month after the dramatic split? Check. Bag full of boy stuff? Check. Tears? Check. Awkward silences? Check.

Ok, so we don’t know for definite that there were awkward silences because we weren’t actually there – but by the looks of these pictures, Frankie Saturdays and Dougie McFly have just had THE post-break up convo.

The pair broke the hearts of teenagers (and slightly strange twenty-somethings) everywhere last month by announcing their split, following nasty rumours that Frankie was courting Calum Best.

Frankie has since been falsely linked to Ashley Cole and Aston JLS – making for quite the uncomfortable chat, we’re sure.

The pair were snapped turning up separately for their heart-to-heart at the Mayfair hotel in London last night. Pretty fancy, but not all that private. All the better for us to ogle at you.

Inevitably, this has become a hot topic on gossip websites. You can read more articles about this from the Daily Mail, OK! Magazine, EntertainmentWise, The Metro, MTV UK, SugarScape, Mr. Paparazzi and Holy Moly.

Dougie has confirmed his split with Frankie Sandford via his personal Twitter.

I just wanted you all to hear it from me, me and Francesca have broken up. It is way to soon for either of us to be seeing other people, so please don’t believe any of the rumours. It was on good terms and she is still one of my best friends x

After winning News of the World‘s Celeb XS Sexiest Lad & Lass awards, Dougie spoke to Dan Wootton of Celeb XS:

CHEEKY PEEK-END

The Saturdays’ Frankie Sandford and McFly’s Dougie are the hottest couple on the block

NOT since POSH & BECKS in their heyday has there been a young Brit showbiz couple both so hot at the same time.

But SATURDAYS sex bomb FRANKIE SANDFORD and her McFLY hunk DOUGIE POYNTER are the hot new couple on the block, dominating both categories despite tough competition.

Dougie blushed: “I guess we’re the Posh and Becks of Essex but I’m nowhere near as cool as him! But Frankie does look amazing.

“I have been working out lately too – my metabolism isn’t what it once was.”

Yeah, at 22 you’re getting on a bit, Dougie.

Dougie and Frankie topped News of the World‘s Celeb XS Sexiest Lad & Lass awards this year, beating the likes of Robert Pattinson and Cheryl Cole.

Here’s a useless article featuring Dougie about this week’s hot topic – Rage Against the Machine getting the Christmas No. 1.

Dougie misses the Poynt with RATM campaign

Last night, ‘Killing In The Name’ by Rage Against In The Machine was confirmed as the 2009 Christmas number one, after a widely reported online campaign.

McFly’s Dougie Poynter was delighted to hear the news, tweeting “So happy Rage are number one.”

He went on to tell how he purchased the song SEVEN times from iTunes. Unfortunately, as stated on the ‘RATM For Christmas Number One’ group, you should only buy ONE copy of the song – any more will cancel out your purchase and it will not contribute towards the chart.

“THE OFFICIAL CHART COMPANY HAVE CONTACTED ME AND WOULD LIKE ME TO REMIND YOU ALL THAT ‘BULK’ PURCHASING WILL DISQUALIFY THAT ENTIRE PURCHASE YOU’VE MADE FROM THE CHART COUNT. SO PLEASE BE WARNED, WE DON’T WANT YOU TO WASTE YOUR CASH!”

Ahh well Dougie, your heart was in the right place.

Someone who did raise an interesting poynt was Matt Willis. He tweeted “Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me! Apart from download a song with the sole purpose to beat the xfactor.”

Happy 22nd Birthday to Dougie Poynter

Dougie turns the grand old age of 22 today, so from all the staff and members of Dougiefied, we’d like to wish him a very happy birthday!

Make sure you tweet #poynterday and #HappyBirthdayDougie to get them into Trending Topics to show Dougie how much we appreciate him! Also remember to leave a message at the The Dougie Poynter 22nd Birthday Message Thread.

Yet another birthday reminds us that we have been following Dougie for almost 6 years, since he was only 16 years old! We’ve watched as he went from a shy awkward gurning teenager to a fully-grown tattooed stud. Crazy? No. Dedicated? Yes.

So here’s to many more years of Dougie-watching, and of course, to the celebration of one more year of Mr. Dougie Poynter’s wonderful existence.

Frankie Sandford’s Jealous Boyfriend

Frankie Sandford‘s boyfriend is worried she will ”run away” with Robert Pattinson and banned her from attending the ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ premiere.

Frankie Sandford wasn’t allowed to go to the ‘Twilight Saga: New Moon’ premiere because her boyfriend was too jealous.

The Saturdays singer – who has been dating the McFly bassist Dougie Poynter for almost a year – said he hated the fact she had a crush on the British actor in the film, Robert Pattinson.

She said: “Robert Pattinson… I really wanted to go to his new film premiere, but my boyfriend Dougie wouldn’t let me. He said, ‘I’m not taking you, you’ll run away with him.’”

The 20-year-old popstar also revealed that on their first date, Dougie had a hangover.

She said: “I met him briefly at a show at G-A-Y, but we’d fancied each other from afar for about five years. When we met, he shook my hand and was really awkward.

“On our first date, the first thing he said was, ‘I’m really hungover and sometimes when I’m hungover I go into London and pass out, so I’m just warning you!’

“But we had a really good time – and we ended up being asked to leave the restaurant because they wanted to close. Everyone had packed up around us!”
