oose Woman Christine
Lampard recently opened
up about her ‘constant
health fears’ when it comes to
being mum to Patricia, three,
and Freddie, one.
The presenter, 43, who is married to
football manager Frank Lampard, said,
‘I try and be chilled (as a mum) but
it’s made me much more anxious. It’s
created a form of health anxiety in me.
Suddenly I think, “I can’t be ill because
I’ve got to be here for you”.
‘I have a constant worry about them
– if I could zip them up in a NASA
spacesuit it would be wonderful… I’ve
become that mum, I think, “You’re so
precious, I’m here to protect you.” I’ve
become a bit more stressed but it’s all
for the love of them.’
Like most working mums, the Belfast
beauty struggles to meet the demands
of work and home life – as well as those
anxieties over keeping her little ones
out of harm’s way.
Christine’s Frank is away from their London home
