Beyond this, former footballer Frank is also a proud dad to teenage daughters Isla and Luna from a previous relationship.

Christine's blended family

While Christine tends to keep her loved ones out of the spotlight, she has occasionally opened up about her blended family dynamic and her role as a stepmother to Frank's two teenage daughters.

During an interview with Fabulous magazine, the broadcaster said of her two little ones: "It's all they've ever known, which is probably a really lucky thing. I know for a lot of people it can be very difficult – you've got to be very understanding of where the child's coming from and how they feel about whatever the set-up is."

She went on to say: "Patricia adores them and tells everyone about her big sisters. They have a special connection. It's particularly nice for Frank. It's just lovely."

Meanwhile, during a chat with The Sun, she shared: "We are in such a different place now. For me, it was all about being their friend and being there when they needed you to be there. That was it."
