Christine Lampard’s interview with husband Frank was branded ‘awkward’ by viewers on Friday’s Lorraine, less than 24 hours after she chatted with him again on Loose Women.
The broadcaster, 45, hosted the early morning ITV show and spoke via video link to her partner, also 45, along with comedian Lee Mack about the upcoming Soccer Aid charity match.
As Lee joked, the couple couldn’t contain their giggles as Frank appeared to wave back and forth awkwardly.
Christine, who married the former footballer in 2015, concluded the interview by saying: ‘Good luck with your training, good luck on both sides, I have to be in the middle, and as we say: it’s all for one charity’.
Before adding, “I’ll call you later Frank.”

While others wrote: ‘Christine married to Frank? She never said: ‘Christine Lampard interviews her husband Frank about Soccer Aid… Less than 24 hours after she did exactly the same thing on Loose Women. Something tells me ITV needs a bit more variety in their daytime programmes.’
During Thursday’s Loose Women, Frank honestly admitted that his wife ‘keeps him on a leash’.
During the chat, Denise Welch told Frank that the hosts would be doing a Find Your Phone segment later in the show and jokingly warned, “Be careful, stay where you are and good luck.”
Frank laughed and replied, “I am aware that Christine always knows where I am. And if she doesn’t do that for five minutes, I get a phone call: ‘What are you doing?’ I’m a good boy. I’m on a tight leash.’
Christine laughed and said, “That works both ways!” as the audience laughed.
As Frank will have his hands full with Soccer Aid for the rest of the week, she said: “Who’s going to take out my bins this week, that’s the big question.”
Frank joked: ‘That’s a good question, maybe you can Christine?’

“That’s not my job!” Christine laughed as Denise added, “That’s a blue track.”
Soccer Aid returns on Sunday 9 June, with a large number of celebrities and former professional footballers taking part.
The charity match, which has raised more than £90 million for Unicef since its inception in 2006, will be played at Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2019.
The interview comes after Christine previously claimed she had children to avoid other people asking when she was going to start a family.
She said during an appearance on Loose Women: ‘I had children to avoid people asking me when I was going to have them. I’m glad I had them. It’s because everyone assumes you have to be.

‘My greatest ambition in life was to be self-sufficient and take care of my mother and father. It sounds very basic, but that’s what drove me.

Christine is stepmother to Luna, 18, and Isla, 16, from Frank’s previous relationship with Spanish model Elen Rives.
Frank currently manages Chelsea FC and his tenure has been met with criticism from fans and enemies alike.
Sadly, he is unlikely to follow in the legendary managerial footsteps of his uncle, Harry Redknapp.
