Christine Lampard reveals she once had to GHOST a close friend

Christine Lampard has revealed she cut a close friend out of her life after they got too 'flirty' with her husband Frank Lampard.

The presenter, 44, admitted although she hates confrontation, she isn't afraid to ghost someone if they rub her up the wrong way.

The Loose Women star confessed that at the beginning of her relationship with the former Chelsea and England footballer, 45, she had a friend who crossed the line and became too 'flirty and touchy-feely' with the sportsman.

In an interview with Closer magazine, Christine explained: 'It was in Frank and mine's very early days and there was a certain person, who we don't actually see anymore, who could get very flirty and touchy-feely while I was there!

'I found that really awkward - at least a kiss is out there and in the open but sneakiness under a table?'

Christine continued: 'I avoid confrontation - I don't like confrontation - but I'm brilliant at ghosting. I can easily step away, and that's how I deal with things that annoy me.'

After first meeting at the 2009 Pride of Britain Awards, the pair have now been happily married for nearly eight years and share two children together, Patricia, five, and Freddie, two.

Christine is also a step-mother to Luna, 18, and Isla, 16, from Frank's previous relationship with Elen Rives.

Speaking about how the two met, the star previously told the Mirror: 'It was a complete Sliding Doors moment, I still remember the first meeting as clear as day. Who goes to an awards ceremony and finds a husband? That was me!

'Neither of us were even meant to go and I was late after hosting The One Show. So when we are there now we do have a celebratory glass of champagne. It’s a special evening for us.'

Christine keeps her family life very private, yet
