She styled her golden tresses loosely across her shoulders in a straight fashion and opted for a bronzed make-up palette for the occasion.

The doting mother lovingly smiled as she cradled her daughter Luella in her arms, while her boyfriend Luke carried their son Logan.

Luke kept it casual in washed out blue jeans and a beige T-shirt, which he styled with an olive bomber jacket.

He styled his ensemble with white trainers and wore his brunette locks in a slicked-back style.

Frankie also took to her Instagram to share a sweet video montage documenting the twins’ fun-filled first birthday party.

She gave a glimpse at the gorgeous decorations, featuring a huge number one light up sign, blue and pink balloons and a cutout of Peter Rabbit.

There was also a sparkling wall feature and guests were given Peter Rabbit themed gift boxes with either ‘Logan’ or ‘Luella’ written across them.

There were huge table spreads made up of delicious treats, while there were also two stunning cakes, one pink for Luella and a blue one for Logan.

Among the tasty treats there were also brightly coloured macarons with Beatrix Potter’s characters Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck drawn on them.

Frankie also shared a glimpse at their white bouncy castle with Logan and Luella’s names on it, as she sweetly played with the pair inside.  

The celebrations come after Frankie candidly opened up about having ‘s*** days’ as she spoke about motherhood.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, she said: ‘I was talking to my dad the other day and I got a bit upset because I’ve been missing my mum but he said that all I’ve got to do is look at my two beautiful babies and try to carry on.

‘Everyone has their s*** days, but it doesn’t last forever. You’ve got to try to pick yourself back up.’
