Frankie shares loved-up snap with beau Luke before slipping into a tiny white dress

Frankie Essex has shared a loved-up picture of herself with boyfriend Luke while telling the world what he means to her. 

Taking to Instagram, the 32-year-old wrote: ‘Not only my boyfriend but my best friend ❤️’ as he threw his arms around her. 

On Sunday, she slipped into a tiny off-the-shoulder white dress to attend a BBQ at a friend’s house, as she continued to show off her two-stone weight loss. 

Frankie proved that being in love suits her as she looked fabulous in her dressy outfit for the BBQ. 

The Bardot number clung to her curves and she accessorised with sky-high heels and carried a cream YSL bag in hand.   

Frankie made her first public appearance with personal trainer Luke back in November, when they attended a Halloween themed party together.

Luke also dressed up for the occasion, channeling the ghoulish Freddy Krueger from horror film, A Nightmare On Elm Street.

Last year, Frankie spoke about her new love with Closer magazine and said: ‘Yes, I’m in a relationship. We’ve been seeing each other for a few months, and I’m really happy.

‘He treats me well and is very, very, supportive in every way, we’re good together.’

She also shared a sweet message about him on his birthday on social media. 

She wrote: ‘Follow your heart and the magic will too ✨ wishing my darling the happiest birthday today you have been my absolute rock since the day we met…!

‘Your one in a million and I can’t wait to spend another year with you laughing at our own jokes and keeping eachother sane happy 29th + 1th baby I love you [sic]’.
