Holiday Romance

Christine Bleakley may have had trouble getting to grips with her role on ailing TV show Daybreak, but she had no such problem with new fiance Frank Lampard during a luxury getaway to Majorca.
The pair were joined by Frank's two children from his relationship with Elen Rivas – Luna, five, and four-year-old Isla – and by Frank's father Frank Snr.

 But that didn't seem to cramp the couple's style as they cavorted by the pool of their five-star hotel and Christine, 32, rubbed sun cream on to her England footballer boyfriend before snuggling up close for a kiss.
 The holiday was the first time Lampard, also 32, had enjoyed a family break with his two daughters and Miss Bleakley. 
 An onlooker said: 'Christine looked at ease with Frank's children. She seems to have a great bond with them already. They all looked so happy.'
 Lampard and Bleakley have been dating since October 2009 last year after meeting at the Pride of Britain Awards.

The high profile couple are used to being snapped on holiday and have even been away with Sardinia where they have joined Jamie and Louise Redknapp on holiday
Frank apparently spent three months secretly planning his proposal, which cost as much as £150,000.

They flew to America on a trip thought to have cost £30,000, which saw them visit Las Vegas and Los Angeles, while he’s said to have spent around £120,000 on the engagement ring.
But the Daybreak presenter insisted that the England midfielder’s proposal was ‘not very fancy’.
The 32-year-old footballer got down on one knee after a romantic beach side lunch in LA, which led Bleakley, also 32, to cry for ten minutes.
The couple had been on a two week break, first staying at the Wynn Encore five star luxury resort in Nevada for almost a week, which costs £400 a night, and boasts its own golf course, private cabanas, four pools and a spa.
They then travelled to California and it is understood they stayed at the £350-a-night SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.

After becoming Lampard’s fiancée, Bleakley called her ITV colleagues Adrian Chiles and Kate Garraway and said: ‘I was beyond shocked. And it wasn’t very glamorous, it wasn’t very fancy - I know some people might expect that.

 

 It was very personal, very private actually, and we were just having a gorgeous lunch by the beach and he simply popped the question, it was completely out of the blue.’
She added: ‘Half-way through the lovey-dovey bit, I realised what he was about to do so I started to cry for about ten minutes and then he pulled the ring out and said ‘Will you marry me?’ and that was it.’
 They have not yet set a date for the wedding, but it will be in Northern Ireland, where her family is from.
