Christine Lampard displays her impressive figure in a navy halterneck bikini as she joins husband Frank on family holiday in Lake Como
Christine Lampard has displayed her impressive figure in a navy halterneck bikini as she joined her husband Frank in Italy. The Loose Women presenter, 46, and former Chelsea footballer, also 46, jetted off to Lake Como for a family holiday. Enjoying a relaxing day by the pool on Monday, Christine basked in a plunging navy halterneck bikini top with low-rise briefs. She paired it with a light blue and pink floral long sarong and her brunette hair was swept back into a messy bun. Meanwhile Coventry City manager Frank showed off his ripped physique as he and Christine sipped on Aperol spritzes. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Frank recently revealed the secret to his happy marriage with his beloved wife Christine. The stars have been together since October 2009 and got married in 2015. They are approaching their 10th wedding anniversary this year and Frank has now reflected on what keeps their relationship so strong. He told the Mirror: 'What keeps me and Christine going is we're there to support each other and we make each other laugh. We have a similar sense of humour. 'Christine's quite sharp and we're normally thinking the same thing, so the same situations make us laugh - I think laughing together is important for a happy marriage.' Frank was introduced to his wife at The Pride Of Britain Awards by fellow TV presenter Piers Morgan in 2009. Christine previously admitted she and the footballer were not even meant to be at the awards ceremony the night they met. Speaking on Lorraine, she said: 'It's a strange one it is because 10 years ago that we met at them, it was one of those nights that neither of us were meant to go to. Enjoying a relaxing day by the pool on Monday, Christine basked in a plunging navy halterneck bikini top with low-rise briefs Meanwhile Coventry City manager Frank showed off his ripped physique as he and Christine sipped on Aperol spritzes 'It was a last minute thing for him and I arrived at the awards late because of work. We were sat on tables next to each other.' The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter called Patricia - named after his late mother who tragically passed away in 2008 - in September 2018. Frank also has daughters Luna, 19, and Isla, 17, with his former partner Elen Rivas, but they went their separate ways in 2008. Last month, Christine gave a candid insight into their relationship as he revealed Frank would cancel their dates when Chelsea didn't win their games. Despite being nearly married for ten years, the early days of their relationship weren't all plain sailing as Frank would get down in the dumps over his performance on the pitch. Speaking on the Loose Women podcast with Nadia Sawalha, she said: 'He used to cancel nights out when Chelsea didn't win, when he was playing with them. 'We would maybe have plans to go for dinner or drinks or something and he'd go 'I'm not going. I just don't want to go. I don't want to go,' and there'd be anger and he just doesn't want to talk to anybody about it. 'It was like he needed to kind-of decompress, and then he was ready to go again Monday morning. 'But there were loads of those moments where he thought, 'No, no, no,' and he'd be so angry with himself if something didn't go according to plan.'

EXCLUSIVE Paris Hilton lays bare 'painful' aftermath of leaked sex tape that was filmed when she was only 19 YEARS OLD
Paris Hilton got emotional as she opened up about the 'painful' aftermath of her infamous leaked sex tape... admitting that her then-boyfriend's brutal betrayal will affect her the 'rest of her life.' During a recent sit-down with Louis Theroux at Spotify Beach in Cannes, France, for Cannes Lions 2025, the former reality star, 44, laid bare the 'heartbreak and devastation' that she endured after her now-ex Rick Salomon shared intimate footage of them making love back in 2003. She had filmed the video with Rick two years prior when she was only 19 years old. 'It was the most painful experience I've ever been through in my life,' Paris reflected during the event on Monday. 'To trust somebody and have them put something out in the world that no one was supposed to see... and then to have people judge me based on one night with someone I trusted... that's something that will affect me for the rest of my life.' The blonde beauty said the public scrutiny over the tape was 'heartbreaking and devastating,' especially because it came right before the release of her reality show The Simple Life. 'Back then, the media, the public, everyone was just so cruel to me. It was so heartbreaking and devastating,' she continued. 'I had worked so hard and I wanted to be respected, I was about to come out with my reality show and then all of a sudden this happened to me.' Paris pointed out that now, it is illegal to release sex tapes without the explicit consent of the individuals involved in California. 'Today, that would be illegal. Back then, it wasn't [looked at] that way and I was vilified for it. I was just a teenage girl,' she said. 'Looking back on it, it was one of the most painful things but to know today it's illegal if it happens to other girls, maybe things need to happen to certain people for it to change for others and I try to see it in that way.' Paris previously explained in her 2023 book Paris: The Memoir that she felt 'weird and uncomfortable' about filming herself and Rick 'making love,' but claimed that he ultimately pressured her into doing it. 'He had often said it was something he did with other women, but I felt weird and uncomfortable about it. I always told him, "I can't. It's too embarrassing,"' she wrote. 'He told me if I wouldn't do it, he could easily find someone who would, and that was the worst thing I could think of – to be dumped by this grown man because I was a stupid kid who didn't know how to play grown-up games. 'The truth is, I wanted to be alive in a sensual way. I wanted to feel like a woman who's comfortable in her own skin.' She said he vowed that 'no one else would ever see it,' and insisted that she would never 'under any circumstances be involved in the production of an amateur teen porn video.' 'It was the most painful experience I've ever been through in my life,' Paris reflected during the event on Monday 'If this was something I had chosen to do, I would have owned it,' she stated. 'I would have stood tall in my Louboutins and said, "Yup, that was my choice." 'I would have stood by it, capitalized on it, licensed the f**k out of every frame, and then boogied on over to the bank without apologizing to anyone.' Elsewhere during her sit-down with Louis, Paris took a brutal swipe at Donald Trump... years after she 'pretended' she voted for him. Paris famously showed her support for Trump back in 2016 after the election, stating at the time, 'I've known him since I was a little girl, so, yes [I voted for him].' However, in her memoir years later, she claimed that she had lied about casting her vote for Trump because he was 'an old family friend,' but hadn't actually voted at all. During her interview with British podcast host Louis on Monday, he asked the star what her relationship was like with Trump. 'I only knew him when I was a teenager in New York, that was a long time ago,' Paris explained. 'What was the vibe [back then] - friendly? Warm? Orange?' Louis jokingly went on. Paris then responded with a dig at the businessman-turned-politician's famously over-tanned skin. 'He probably could have used a new spray tanner,' she said with a laugh.

EastEnders star blasts fan who claims he 'cheated' on his wife as he shares sun-soaked holiday snaps with new girlfriend
An EastEnders star has hit back at a troll who publicly accused him of cheating on his wife as he shared loved-up pictures with his new girlfriend. Earlier this year it was revealed how Davood Ghadami, who played Kush Kazemi in Albert Square, was dating Melanie Barker, 32. Both stars had met each other while working on the pantomime production of Aladdin in 2022/23. The pair were both married at the time, but were reported to have left their respective spouses for each other, after sharing 'sizzling on-stage chemistry'. Davood was forced to hit back at the claims, telling fans he had separated from his wife before his relationship with Melanie started. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. However, the actor has now blasted a troll after they accused him of being unfaithful to his ex-wife as he posted pictures from a recent sun-soaked holiday with Melanie. Davood captioned his Instagram post: 'Greece in June looks like this...' In the midst of positive replies, one follower commented: 'Unfollowed. Don't like people who cheat on their spouses and break up families.' Hitting back, Davood said: 'Bye then! I don't want people following me who know nothing.' In February, The Sun alleged that Davood and Melanie had fallen for each other during the Aladdin production, in which the soap star played Abananzar and the mother-of-three starred as Princess Jasmine. The publication reported the pair were frequently 'flirting backstage' and were thought to have stayed in touch after the production, held at the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury, had ended in early 2023. While a source claimed that as their romance blossomed, both stars decided to leave their partners to move in together. Following the claims, Davood released a statement, telling fans: 'A newspaper chose to run a front page story about me yesterday. A surprise choice considering everything happening in our world. In February, The Sun alleged that Davood and Melanie had fallen for each other during the Aladdin production, in which the soap star played Abananzar and the mother-of-three starred as Princess Jasmine 'It's always been important for me to keep a degree of privacy regarding my personal life, but I feel I need to clarify a few things. 'My wife and I separated in 2023. In 2024, my relationship with Mel began and we remain together and happy. There is life after separation and divorce.' The soap star met his ex-wife Isobel at university more than 20 years ago, before they tied the knot in 2010. The couple went on to welcome two daughters together - Eve, 12, and nine-year-old Grace. Davood had previously gushed about his long-term love and her enduring support while he was competing in the 2017 series of Strictly Come Dancing with professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova. He told Woman magazine in 2018: 'My wife and I know each other inside out and have a genuine understanding about how the other ticks. 'We met 17 years ago at university so we've got a lot of shared history. I'm an incredibly lucky man. 'My life couldn't be the way it is without her support. She was amazing when I was in Strictly and kept everything going.'
