Christine Lampard looked summer chic in all white as she joined her shirtless husband Frank soaking up the sun on holiday in the south of France this week.
The Loose Women presenter and the former footballer, both 46, were joined by ex All Saints star Nicole Appleton, 50, and her husband Stephen Haines.
Christine fit right in at the swanky resort as she showed off her sophisticated sense of style in a pair of white linen trousers and strappy top.
She later changed into a navy jumpsuit and stylish shades as she looked out at her muscular spouse who was enjoying a cooling swim in the sea.
Manager of Coventry City Frank showed off his tanned and toned physique in a pair of bright orange swim shorts as he enjoyed his time off after the football season.

Their fun-filled holiday comes after last month Christine revealed the reason her husband Frank often used to cancel their dates at the start of their romance.
The loved-up pair have been together since October 2009 and got married in 2015.
They are approaching their 10th wedding anniversary this year and Christine has now opened up about their early dating days where things weren't all plain sailing.
When they met he was busy playing for Chelsea but used to cancel dates with her when the team didn't win.
She told The Sun: 'When he was playing, he used to cancel nights out when Chelsea didn't win. Thankfully, it didn't happen that often, as luckily, Chelsea won a lot!'
'It was actually alright. He would be annoyed just because he takes it all so seriously!'
She added that football was a whole new world for her and didn't understand why it was such a big deal.
Christine explained: 'I went to an all-girls' school, I didn't have brothers. Football just wasn't a thing. I couldn't have cared less. And then, suddenly, I started to care.
'The more I went to the games, the more I got it. I thought, 'Oh my god, I see why people are into this. There is something magical about it'.'

It came after Frank revealed the secret to his happy marriage with his beloved wife Christine.
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.
'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.

'And that is such a powerful thing to me - I have to be able to have a giggle… We just have proper laughs. We have the same points of view on things.
'We don't argue over parenting or how things run in the house. We sort of sing off the same page and that sort of makes everything flow…

Love Island SPOILER: Two islanders NOT coupled up spend night together in the hideaway after just 56 hours

Love Island's summer series returned on Monday, and just 56 hours in, two islanders have reportedly headed to the raunchy Hideaway bedroom. Air hostess Helena Ford, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, spent the night together in the secret suite, which is now open 24 hours a day for those that aren't coupled up, on Monday in scenes yet to air on the show. The luxury space includes a bed and hot tub and offers the Islanders complete privacy. The pairing will come as a shock to viewers as Harry was chosen by Shakira Khan to couple up with during Tuesday night's dramatic recoupling. Filming began for the 12th series on Saturday lunchtime, meaning it was only two and half days before the pair headed for some alone time, with viewers soon to see the drama on TV. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. A source told The Sun: 'This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island's twelve series history - and what a gorgeous pair to do so. 'In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established. 'But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite. 'It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the 'no invite needed' and explore their connection.' MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment. Love Island fans are set to enjoy the X-rated sex scenes happening in the famous Hideaway for the very first time in five years, according to bosses' comments. 'If sex happens, we'll show it. The Hideaway will be open 24 hours,' Mike Spencer, Love Island's Creative Director said. He added: 'We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive.' Although the usual play of Love Island is to couple up with one other person from the opposite sex - bosses are hoping for potential throuples in the villa this year as they 'tear up the rule book' and install new furniture to create drama. Helena Ford, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, spent the night together in the secret suite, which is now open 24 hours a day for those that aren't coupled up, on Monday The Love Island villa was left extremely shaken during Tuesday night's show as Sophie Lee was axed from the show, and two new bombshells arrived. Following the arrival of first bombshell Toni, who surprised the singletons at the close of Monday's episode, Semi pro footballer Shea Mannings and fitness influencer Remell Mullins are the latest arrivals. Shea, who is a Scaffolder from Bristol, revealed he has a young son, and he will be taking that 'into consideration' when coupling up. He added: 'She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together.' Meanwhile, Remell is a Self Improvement Content Creator who boasts a massive 18million likes and half a million followers on TikTok. Remell shared he is looking for 'a bubbly, confident, ambitious and fun girl' with 'a nice smile, nice teeth and someone that can keep me on my toes.' When asked where he might be found in the villa in the morning, he replied: 'I might be cooking a nice high protein meal, I might be doing my skincare routine, something to level up.' The bombshells will make their arrival during Wednesday's episode. Following the arrival of first bombshell Toni, Semi pro footballer Shea Mannings (left) and fitness influencer Remell Mullins (right) are the latest arrivals Tuesday's episode saw Maya Jama return to the villa to send Sophie home, after Shakira picked to couple up with Harry in a shock twist. Fans were confused at the Love Island producers decision to dump Sophie before bringing in two new male bombshells. One wrote on social media platform X: 'They shouldn't have sent Sophie home!! The producers are so cruel mahnnnn'; 'Two bombshells coming in tomorrow night, they should have just let Sophie stay. This is unfair' Love Island returned on Monday and after promising a series of twists, Maya was sure to deliver. The Islanders were coupled up earlier in the day after the girls matched themselves to dating profiles - but Maya returned later that night with big news. After a day of getting to know each other, the couples were gathered at the fire pit where they were dealt the news that American bombshell Toni Laites would be entering and stealing one of the boys. Forced to make her decision on the spot, Toni, 24, picked taxi driver Ben Holbrough - leaving construction project manager Shakira single and vulnerable. Maya revealed that Shakira would have just 24 hours to form a connection with one of the boys or risk being dumped from the island. In order to stay in the villa, Shakira would have to convince one of the boys to leave their partner the following evening. If she manages to do this whichever girl is left single will be dumped... but if she doesn't, it's Shakira who will face the chop. During the tense moment, Maya asked the boys to stand up if they felt they had a better connection with Shakira. Blu, Harry and Conor all stood up, leaving their partners worried. The power was then in Shakira's hands, and she chose to couple up with Harry, leaving Sophie single and the first islander to be dumped. At the start of the episode, the ladies - Shakira , Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena - were first to enter the villa with talk soon turning to the boys they could potentially couple up with. However, in contrast to recent series, it wasn't the viewers that would be picking the couples, but instead the girls were tasked with choosing their boys based on their dating profiles. Explaining the huge change, Maya told the girls: 'This year things are slightly different. You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality? Come and join me by the pool.' As the girls lined up, she continued: 'Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?' The girls then checked out the descriptions of the island's boys - Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy. They then had to decide to who they'd like to pair up with based on key stats with the boys' name, age, job and a headline. Headlines included lines such as: ' I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play, so I work very hard...' in order to help the girls make their big decisions. After discussing the boys' profiles and attempting to figure out which lad could be right for them, Maya then forced them to make their choice. Counting to three, the stunner informed the ladies that they must run to their chosen heart, with only one girl allowed to stand next to each heart. And after the girls had chosen their man, they were finally introduced to each boy - but it wasn't all love at first sight. Blu Chegini, 26, got eyebrows raising when he immediately made it clear stunning Scot Alima Gagio wasn't his type on paper. And Megan Moore, 25, also admitted that her couple Dejon Noel Williams, 26, also didn't fit her usual man. While Helena had a rough start as she insisted she was not interested in rugby players, before awkwardly being left to couple up with hunky pro player Connor.

Megan Moore NAME: Megan Moore AGE: 25 FROM: Southampton OCCUPATION: Payroll specialist WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'd like to meet someone who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile.

You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she'd hire me because I'm a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number. I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway. NAME: Ben Holbrough AGE: 23 FROM: Gloucester OCCUPATION: Private Hire Taxi driver WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

NAME: Megan Forte Clarke AGE: 24 FROM: Dublin OCCUPATION: Musical theatre performer and energy broker WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they're not bad looking, that's always a plus. I love a boy that's a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet. I don't mind scrawny, or a bit of a 'dad bod'. I'm 5ft1 so any height really. CLAIM TO FAME? Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I've also done Panto. NAME: Blu Chegini AGE: 26 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Construction Project Manager WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way. WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS?

I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman. WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? Definitely hire. I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby. It doesn't work, but it gets them laughing. It's an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course! NAME: Toni Laites AGE: 24 FROM: Connecticut OCCUPATION: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'm looking for darker hair, definitely muscular but not too muscular. Super fit. Clean hair cut. Someone that can make me laugh - I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together. I WANT TO DATE A BRITISH GUY BECAUSE... I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent.

Eberechi Eze offers England's brightest spark amid end-of-season gloom

The beer cups are not yet being hurled. Tabloid editors have not yet decided which root vegetable would Photoshop best onto his face. Helicopters are not yet being despatched to take aerial shots of his house. We are still probably at least two defeats away from our first World War Two-themed front page. But perhaps in hindsight, this was the week Thomas Tuchel finally became the England manager. The night he finally felt the weight of the hairshirt. Finally glimpsed the depth and darkness of a job in which all defeats are humiliations, where the default temperature is set permanently to 'scorn', where every decision is a betrayal of somebody, somewhere. And, you know, fair enough. Ahead of this camp you would probably have got pretty long odds on England emerging from games against Andorra and Senegal with a negative goal difference. England have neither attacked well nor defended well, and indeed have looked for the most part exactly what they are: a group of exhausted talents sapped by a long season in the most physically demanding league on the planet. Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill were a weird choice of centre-half pairing given both are still trying to pace themselves for a gruelling Club World Cup campaign. Kyle Walker had seemingly prepared for an 8pm rather than a 7.45pm kick-off. Bukayo Saka did four-fifths of very little. Conor Gallagher skittered around like a puppy at Sunday lunch: darting in between legs, knocking things over, eternally sniffing something out, but largely at a loss as to what. And so can we really have learned anything from a game that kicked off five minutes late, where the vibe was so end-of-term you half-expected to see people signing each other's shirts with felt-tip pens? Well, perhaps we did. Amid the loose ends and loose passes, we were treated to Eberechi Eze's best game in an England shirt. That Eze got 90 minutes – for the first time in his 11 caps – was a statement in itself. As Tuchel rolled through his substitutions, Eze kept glancing over to the touchline, half-expecting to see his number. Harry Kane and Anthony Gordon went off. Gallagher went off. Saka and Declan Rice went off. Finally in the 88th minute, Ivan Toney lurked at the side of the pitch. The board went up. It was Myles Lewis-Skelly. Why did Tuchel want to see more of Eze? Why does he refer to Eze as 'Ebs' and Morgan Gibbs-White as 'Morgan Gibbs-White'? As Kane came off and England went strikerless for the first time since the disastrous home defeat against Greece in October 2024, we got our answer. Unleashed in a mobile central role, Eze – flanked by Gibbs-White and Morgan Rogers – was at the heart of England's best period of the match. Already there had been some promising glimpses. England began with a kind of box midfield in possession, Kane and Eze both offering themselves to receive while the two wingers stayed high and stretched the pitch. Out of possession it was Eze who led the press alongside Kane, Eze who won the ball from Lamine Camara for England's opening goal. But it was after the hour that Eze truly came alive. Within seconds of going up top he was bringing down a long ball and playing a frankly ridiculous backheel to Gibbs-White. A few minutes later, with England now 2-1 down, he did it again, and Gibbs-White should have done better with the shot. Later a low cross across the penalty area begged for a touch. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Already it is clear that Tuchel sees Eze as more of a No 10 than a wide option, perhaps even an alternative No 9 in Kane's absence. His main competition is probably Cole Palmer, another player who seemed to be running on fumes against Andorra at the weekend. Palmer is probably the superior short passer, the superior creator, the superior set-piece taker. Eze, for his part, is a more assiduous off-the-ball presence, a more versatile player, a faster and more direct runner. Either way, this is not as simple a call as it might have been six months ago. For Eze has one more asset in his favour: the wind at his back and the confidence of his coach. His first England goal against Latvia seems to have stirred him to a new level, a stunning late-season run of form that earned him seven goals in six games, the winner in an FA Cup final, and a first European campaign next season if Crystal Palace can somehow navigate Uefa's dual ownership rules. Clearly the noise will abate. Senegal and Nottingham will feel like ancient history by the time Tuchel assembles his players for their next camp. But if Eze ends up playing a pivotal role in England's World Cup side, Tuchel may just reflect that a night of boos and incoherence was not entirely in a lost cause.

Pitbull: Star says seeing fans dressed in bald caps is priceless

Pitbull is fascinated by his popularity in the UK - telling the BBC it makes him "very, very happy" to look out into the crowd and see thousands of people dressed like him, singing along to every word of his to social media, it's become custom in recent months to attend a Pitbull show dressed as the star - in sunglasses, suit and a bald cap."Every time I'm at a show, I let them know that when you put on a bald cap, I hope you're ready to have the time of your lives - it feels deeper than just music," he rapper and singer has recently returned to the UK for a second run of tour dates after a big reception from fans earlier in the year. The 44-year-old, real name Armando Christian Perez, has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and 100 million only during his most recent tours that people have been dressing as him en masse - something he says is "an honour"."It's the ultimate trophy to be able to go on stage and see all the hard work that you put into the music. I've been in the game for 25 years and to see every demographic, everybody [dressing up] at the shows is priceless," he whose parents are from Cuba, began his career in the Latin hip hop scene, taking inspiration from the musical influences of his hometown of transition to pop began in the early 2010s, bringing with it chart success and collaborations with global artists such as Christina Aguilera, Usher and to the emergence of streaming over radio plays, Spanish music has been able to thrive in countries where it's not a native language, something Pitbull has been able to use to his advantage."There's an irony as I'm kind of an anomaly in the music business," he says."In the Latin world they said I was too English, and in the English world I was too Latin, so to bring it together now, when it all really started around 2010, feels really good."A section of Pitbull's setlist is dedicated to his favourite Spanish language songs and those from his own back catalogue."I now get the chance to merge the worlds together and to be able to hit the stage and see the power of music, no matter the language," he says it's a "really powerful thing" to have "people coming up to me and say 'I learned Spanish due to your words'". 'My music is escapism' Speaking to fans ahead of his O2 Arena show in London on Monday night, many said the nostalgia factor had inspired them to buy tickets, with Pitbull providing the soundtrack to important parts of their lives - like school trips and university nights out."My music gives that outlet, that escapism. It's like therapy," Pitbull setlist for the tour was designed to get the party going, with tracks like Timber and Fireball causing a huge roar from the sea of bald was barely a moment to breathe - with Pitbull's several outfit changes punctuated by DJ sets that kept the momentum the show was a fun and light-hearted affair, with the music transporting the crowd back to happier times in the early says he doesn't "worry about what the trends are" or "what's cool" when putting his sets together and just wants people to have fun. He didn't disappoint with his famous one-liners. There were plenty to enjoy during his set, including, "This is for everyone going through tough times, been there done that, but everyday above ground is a great day" and, "Life is not a waste a time and time is not a waste of life. So let's stop wasting time and have the time of our life". Pitbull says: "You don't know what a person is going through in their life, so I try to create phrases, which we grew up doing as Cubans. One-liners to help you out in any situation you're in," he star says he's applied the same philosophy to the English language - creating the celebrated pop song lyrics that fans sang back to him all night long.
