Frankie Essex recalls brother Joey's shock reaction when she told him she’s pregnant with twins

TOWIE star Frankie Sims has revealed how cruel online trolls have questioned if she is 'pregnant' as she 'embraces her natural body'. The Only Way Is Essex beauty, 27, who celebrated her birthday in Dubai alongside sisters and fellow realty stars Chloe, 40, and Demi Sims, 25, exclusively opened up to OK! in a candid and honest chat about how she is learning to love her body.

She recently exclusively announced the exciting news that she’s set to welcome twins, but a bereavement expert has told OK! that Frankie Essex will also likely be hoping to “keep the memory of her late mum alive” with her babies. Earlier today, on what would have been her mother’s birthday, Frankie confessed that it “breaks her heart every day” that her mum won’t get to meet her grandchildren, while her brother, former TOWIE star Joey Essex paid tribute to her. Joey and Frankie’s mum Tina passed away in 2001 by suicide after a battle with depression.
