Christine has been covering for Lorraine Kelly in the school holiday periods for six years now, and says she still enjoys the buzz of live TV
For most mums, the summer holidays mean six weeks of trying to keep the children occupied. But for Christine Lampard, some of the responsibility this year has been handed over to husband Frank, while she fronts ITV’s Lorraine in the mornings.
Former footballer and manager Frank is currently between football jobs having finished a stint as Chelsea boss at the end of last season. But he now has his hands full in other ways. Christine says with a smile: “I leave so early, the kids haven’t quite woken up â and I’m being blessed right now as you know with Frank being at home.
“It never happens. In the summertime he has always been away on tour and then pre-season and then the season starts. Who knows what could happen, but certainly at the moment I’m making full use of him being at home. I can leave quietly in the morning and even if they are awake, daddy’s there.
“At this point, we’ve got a fairly good routine. It’s been really good. He knows there will be times where you’re not working. And he’s gotten better at being able to live with that and relax into it. This kids are still so young, they love having him at home.”
