Christine Lampard “couldn’t care less” about pregnancy weight gain

She is over the moon to be expecting her first child

Christine Lampard has told how she will not be worrying about how she looks as she gains weight during her pregnancy and is only concerned about the baby’s wellbeing.

The Loose Women host revealed earlier this year that she is expecting her first child with former footballer husband Frank, 40.

And since finding out the good news, Christine, 39, has quit the gym and is only focused on the baby.

She told the Daily Mirror: “I couldn’t care less about putting on weight as long as everything’s OK inside.

“I’m not training, just walking the dog. That’s it. I’m just taking it all in my stride.

‘I’m feeling great. I’m eating a lot of ice cream, but I think that’s more to do with the weather than the pregnancy cravings.”

Northern Irish TV presenter Christine, who is due to give birth in September, married ex-England international Frank in 2015.

In an Instagram post in May, he wrote: “We have some exciting news we wanted to share with you. The Lampard family is growing!

“My gorgeous wife @christinelampard is pregnant and we all couldn’t be happier!!”

Frank has two children, daughters Isla and Luna, from his previous relationship with Spanish model Elen Rivas.

Christine and Frank waited until she was four and a half months pregnant before revealing their happy news publicly, partly as they wanted to make sure everything was okay, and they wanted Frank’s daughters to know first.

She previously said on ITV’s Lorraine: “As anyone who goes through this [knows], you can’t help being a bit anxious. And I’m a bit superstitious, to be honest, as well. I kind of thought, ‘let’s get to the big scan and be told hopefully everything is okay so far’.”

Christine added: “I was just really tentative about announcing something and then maybe something happening.

“Of course, we know that can happen at any stage, but I did want to try to get as far as I could – and telling the girls [husband Frank’s daughters] and everything else.”

“The girls are completely beside themselves, more so than I thought they would be,” she said. “It does have to a girl, but I can’t guarantee that! They are desperate for a little girl! They’re constantly talking to the belly, constantly chatting and wanting to be the first name it says. It’s just lovely.”
