Wayne Bridge has brushed off his recent drama by enjoying a hot yoga session with his wife Frankie – after dropping out of a fight against YouTuber KSI over his jibes about John Terry.

The former footballer, 44, claimed the star had ‘crossed a line’ by making comments about his his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel’s alleged affair with John.

The ex Chelsea defender was set to fight KSI in Manchester on March 29 but he dramatically withdrew just two days later in a statement posted on Monday.

And on Tuesday Frankie, 36, and Wayne put on a united display at the calming yoga session.

As Loose Women panellist Frankie showed off her abs in a sports bra she penned in the caption: ‘Bring your husband to hot yoga day.’ 

Wayne cut a casual figure in a grey T-shirt and black shorts as he looked over at Frankie in the shot posted to her Instagram Story.

The former footballer, 44, claimed the star had ‘crossed a line’ by making comments about his his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel’s alleged affair with John 

During a face-off in the ring with Wayne, KSI said: ‘Aren’t you the guy that let John Terry smash your ex?’ Bridge replied: ‘You want to go there straight away do you?’

‘I’m pretty sure that’s what you’re known for,’ KSI added, before riling up the crowd and starting a chant that went: ‘Vanessa woah, Vanessa woah’, referencing Bridge’s ex-girlfriend Vanessa Perroncel.

KSI proceeded to add X-rated words to his chant that directly referenced John and Wayne’s former partner.

After the remarks, Wayne announced that he wishes to protect his family from such comments and will seek another challenge in the ring later down the line. 

The statement read: ‘I’m sure a lot of you have seen what happened on Saturday night at the Misfits Boxing event.

‘Firstly, I think it’s important that I explain my reason for accepting the fight. I always like to challenge myself. This felt like a good opportunity to go up against an interesting opponent on a big stage.

‘I have always loved boxing as part of my everyday training routine. I was fully prepared to train hard and have some fun. Of course, I expected to face some criticism, but I feel like what was said on Saturday crossed a line.

Wayne broke up with Vanessa in 2009 and has been married to Frankie since 2014. They share two sons 

‘These are deeply personal comments that affect mine and other families involved in the situation. I’m a family man first and my priority is protecting them.

‘My opponent is someone that many children look up to around the, including my kids. I hope one day he will look back on this differently. I personally don’t want to be involved in these exchanges. I will no longer be fighting on March 29.

‘I’m still looking out for my next big challenge and have some exciting things coming up in 2025. Thanks for all the love. The support has been overwhelming. 

‘I want my friends and family to know how special they are. Deep down I know this is the right thing to do.’

Wayne’s relationship with Vanessa broke down amid the allegations that she had an affair with former Blues and England captain John- who was Wayne’s teammate at the time.

John and Wayne were later goaded over the situation by rival supporters and the pair are no longer friends over the incident.

Vanessa has vehemently denied the allegations, which state the affair took place in 2009, and previously claimed she had legal documents to prove her innocence.

Wayne has fought before, defeating Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews in a charity bout seven years ago.

He hung up his boots in 2014 following a career which saw him win the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup at Chelsea.

Wayne also played for Southampton, Fulham, West Ham, Sunderland and Brighton and picked up 36 England caps. Those who know him say he remains in peak condition.
