Together with the band, Bridge successfully released seven singles and two albums. Whilst in the group, Bridge made an appearance in S Club 7's TV show, Viva S Club. The group then began featuring in their own Children's musical television program, I Dream. Bridge played a main role in the show and went onto release the duet single "Dreaming" along with fellow S Club 8 member Calvin Goldspink. In 2007, Bridge went on to successfully audition for girlband, The Saturdays.

Bridge and the rest of the group later signed a deal with Island Def Jam Records and Mercury Records worth $1.5 million to distribute their music in the United States, which led to her first UK number-one single "What About Us". Throughout Bridge's time in the music industry, she has achieved nineteen UK Top 10 Singles and six UK Top 10 Albums. In late 2017, Bridge decided to pursue a solo career in music, signing a record deal with both Polydor and Fascination Records, the labels Bridge has been signed to since she was eleven-years-old.[4] Her debut solo album was expected to be released in 2019, however it was shelved so Bridge could focus on motherhood. Bridge's sixteen years in the music industry has led her to sell an estimated 10 million records worldwide. Bridge gained higher prominence as a style icon in the UK, and her signature style short hair started a trend around the UK. She has had a successful career in television as well as performing, she has been a part of two reality television series of her own: The Saturdays: 24/7 and Chasing The Saturdays.
