Christine Lampard rules out having more children with Frank and admits 'I'm knackered!'

Christine Lampard has ruled out having more children with her husband Frank as she is 'too old'.

The Loose Women panellist, 43, is proud mum to three year-old daughter Patricia and 17-month-old son Freddie as well as step mum to the footballer's daughter's Luna, 14, and Isla, 13.

And Christine is content being a family-of-six but admits she is feeling 'knackered' from juggling parenting with her 'busier than ever' ITV career.

Speaking of if she had any plans to add to their brood, she told OK Magazine : "I’m too old. I think if I was younger I would have thought about it, but I feel very blessed with the two of them – and I’m knackered.

"I rarely find time for myself. If I have them both asleep by 9pm I watch TV for an hour and go to bed. I stepped away because I decided to have children – I say decided, but I was slightly blessed with it much later.

"So I spent all my twenties and thirties doing anything I wanted, when they came along I thought, 'This is the new chapter'. Although, weirdly I feel like I’m busier than ever."

Elsewhere in the interview, Christine spoke about her relationship with Frank, 44, as he stays at their second home in Liverpool due to his Everton FC work commitments.

Revealing her secrets as to how they are making their long distance work Christine said they always FaceTime every morning and make sure they say goodnight.

The Irish presenter added the kids are over the moon when Frank does return home and treat him like "God" as they have missed him so much.

When she was introduced to Frank by Piers Morgan at the Pride Of Britain Awards in 2009, Christine was one of TV's biggest stars as host of The One Show, while he was at the height of his playing career.

Soon after they married in 2015, though, she stepped away from our screens to focus on family life.

"I definitely met Frank at the right time," she told the Mirror. "I was 29 and at that point where you roughly know where you are. We’d both done a lot of stuff and had forged our own careers. We were just a bit more grown up."

When Christine first met Frank, his two daughters were still very young. Now she’s a co-parent to two teenagers and admits she struggles with knowing how to protect them from social media.

"I love that I’ll find an old photo from school and there’s just one image and everything else is in my brain. Whereas their entire lives are catalogued for all to see. I just don’t think it’s a good thing. It must be very intense for a teenager.

"It’s very difficult to control, too, as they got their own devices. Parents have a tough job now and teenagers have a tough job living normal lives. I wonder if it will all implode at some point. I’m just grateful I didn’t grow up with it."
