One of the family: Christine Bleakley shares a joke with boyfriend Frank Lampard and his father Frank Snr as they watched Chelsea play Blackpool at Stamford Bridge


She's already been introduced to his family and even holidayed with them in Italy this summer.

So it was no surprise to see Christine Bleakley being an honorary member of the Lampard clan yesterday as she took a seat at Stamford Bridge.

The Daybreak presenter joined boyfriend Frank and his father Frank Snr at the Chelsea ground as the three of them cheered on Frank's club in their Premiership clash with Blackpool.

Lampard, 32, was not able to play because of a hernia injury and is still in recovery after groin surgery.

So he took his place in the stands at the west London club to watch Chelsea give poor Blackpool a four-nil drubbing.

And Bleakley, 31, say proudly by his side and laughed and joked with her man and his 61-year-old father as they watched the match.

At one point, Frank looked as though he was helping Christine brush up on the rule of the beautiful game as he pointed things out to her on the pitch.

Her eye was also caught by former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, who waved at the couple as she walked up the stairs of the stand with her boyfriend Henry Beckwith.

And as the final whistle went, Christine, Frank and his father got up to leave the stand but not without making a young fan's day by signing his programme.

Also watching the game not far away from them was Frank's Chelsea and England team mate John Terry.

He sat observing the game which he was not able to play in as he is still recovering from a rib injury he suffered in the game against West Ham last Saturday.

He was with his children, four-year-old twins, Georgie John and Summer Rose.

Christine and Frank have been dating for almost a year and earlier this month they sparked wedding rumours when they were spotted leaving a church holding hands.

Christine started as presenter of ITV's new morning show Daybreak, alongside her former One Show co-host on September 6.

But she said despite the 3am starts, she won't let the early mornings affect her relationship with Frank as she said: 'I love my evenings out and would start to go insane if I didn't have them.'
