The new mum wrote: “I managed to move my post pregnant bottom out of the house last night to celebrate Frank being awarded the Legend of Football award.

“A very emotional night not least because a huge amount of money was raised for a remarkable charity Nordoff Robbins. I was a very proud wife.”

At the event, Christine looked the picture of happiness as she enjoyed her first night out since welcoming her daughter.
