Alongside a fresh-faced selfie, Frankie wrote: "Stuck in traffic, late for work, desperate for a wee!! This is 34."

A weak bladder as Frankie is experiencing is common as we get older, and according to the NHS, can occur as a result of the weakening of or damage to the muscles used to prevent urination, such as the pelvic floor muscles.

While a weak bladder is most common in people much older than Frankie and her young 34 years, it can be caused by damage during childbirth.

In January 2015, Frankie's appearance on the BBC's The One Show gave viewers much more than they had anticipated.
