Dougie Poynter and Frankie Sandford are moving in together

Following the example of Marvin Humes and Rochelle Wiseman, McFly bassist Dougie Poynter has revealed he and girlfriend Frankie Sandford are buying a house together.

The couple – who recently reconciled their year-long romance following a brief split – spend so much time together they hope to secure their romance further by purchasing a property as a couple.

Dougie said: “She pretty much lives with me now, in my flat. But we’re looking at buying a house, so hopefully that’ll go through, and then we’ll be properly living together.”

The 22-year-old musician also revealed he managed to woo Frankie, 21, after inviting her to join him in the McFly hot tub following a gig at London’s Astoria venue.

He explained: “We were sharing a dressing room, and me and Danny had just had a hot tub installed at home, so we were like, ‘Just come over and check out our hot tub.’ “

Although that was the first time Dougie had been able to charm the singer, band-mate Tom revealed his bandmate had had a crush of Frankie for years.

Tom told Attitude magazine: “Dougie has fancied Frankie since when she was in her old band, S Club Juniors, when we’d first come out.”

Dougie replied: “I was 15. I was a Junior myself, I was a McFly Junior!“
