Mother-of-two Christine Lampard has opened up about how having children ignited her worries. They began during pregnancy and have only accelerated since becoming a mum.
Married to Everton Football manager Frank Lampard, the couple share three-year-old daughter Patricia and 17-month-old son Freddie, and the TV presenter admits that having responsibility for her children has had an overwhelming effect.
“I just worry about everything – the other day my little girl had a mark on her back and I’m straight away pressing it to see if it disappears,” she says.
“I’ve got thermometers dotted all over the house. I loved being pregnant but I was stressed terribly going for scans – ‘What if they find something?’ I didn’t relax the entire time.”
The 43-year-old met Frank back in 2009, before tying the knot in 2015 at St Paul’s church in Knightsbridge.
Christine also co-parents Frank’s two daughters from his previous marriage, Luna, 16, and Isla, 15, and confesses she also struggles with knowing how to protect them from what she deems the biggest threat to their happiness – social media.
“I love the fact I’ll find an old photograph from when I was at school and I think, ‘Oh my goodness, look at that’ and there’s one image, everything else is in your brain. Whereas their entire lives are catalogued and it’s there for all to see, always.
“Then there’s the pressure – TikTok is their thing and it’s really influential – whether it’s a body image thing or whatever, I just think when you live your life through a lens in that way, it’s just not a good thing. I think it’s very intense for a teenager.
“It’s very difficult to control it when they have their own devices. Parents have a tough job now and teenagers have a tough job living normal lives.
"I wonder if it will all implode at one point, but I’m very grateful I’m not growing up in it.”
Although she loves being a mum, the Loose Women panellist admits the couple won’t be having anymore children.
She said: “I’m too old! I think if I was younger I would have thought about it, but I feel very blessed with the two of them – and I’m knackered!
