Dougie Poynter Crushed After Being Dumped By Frankie Sandford

A source close to Dougie Poynter spoke with The Mirror about the McFly bassist deciding to check into a rehab facility ahead of the band’s Above The Noise UK tour, which begins in a few weeks. “Dougie was absolutely heartbroken when Frankie dumped him,” the source said, referring to The Saturdays’ singer Frankie Sandford. “He saw himself getting married and having kids and being with her for life. And he was just crushed. It got to the point where he was struggling to get through the day so he decided to seek help at the Priory clinic. He’s been in there working hard on getting his head straight.”
