"Then he would go away for the World Cup, which was six weeks and things like that, then once all that started to shift, we have been in London, a year in Manchester, two years in New York, a year in Derby, and now he is in Liverpool."

The couple, who have been married for six years, are currently based in different cities due to their individual work commitments.

Reflecting on spending so much time apart, Christine added: "So there has always been some form of distance, and I have become very good at making a rented home, a home quite quickly because you can't get your place."

Christine continued: "I have one more year before my little girl starts school because then the landscape changes entirely."

After the revelation, Christine admitted that she loves the freedom of travelling but expects that will soon change when their daughter Patricia starts school next year.

The couple and their two children Patricia and Freddie have a beautiful family home in London which is their main place of residence, however, they also have another property in Liverpool because of Frank's job as manager of Premier League club Everton.
