Loose Women fans have accused Frankie Bridge of ‘not liking’ guest panelist GK Barry after she implied she made a ‘backhanded compliment’ towards her.

Thursday’s show saw GK Barry, 24, make history as the first panelist on the show who was born in the same year loose women started, 1999, with host Kaye Adams mocking Frankie that she’s no longer the youngest.

Throughout the show, Faye and fellow panelist Denise Welch make humorous quips about 35-year-old Frankie’s age, with Frankie seemingly getting riled up with the comparisons.

However, viewers spotted a very awkward moment later in the show where Frankie appeared to snap back at GK, real name Grace Eleanor Keeling, after she recalled loving Frankie’s band The Saturdays and grew up wanting to be the singer.

As GK shared: ‘I didn’t get any GSCE ‘s at school but I thought, that’s OK, I’ll be Frankie!’, Frankie retorted: ‘That felt like a backhanded compliment!’, before laughing that she was ‘stupid’.

‘I’m actually liking Grace, she’s funny, relaxed and doesn’t seem to take herself too seriously Unlike Frankie, who is hating sharing the spotlight right now.’

Meanwhile, in another awkward moment between the pair, Frankie joked that she was ‘fuming’ after no longer being the ‘baby’ of the show.

GK Barry was quick to make light of the situation, sharing: ‘I know there is a feud now and I was so excited to meet Frankie but now there is a feud!’

With Frankie then sarcastically firing back: ‘I don’t like you yet, go away!’
