Christine Lampard is sitting in the driving seat of a 1966 convertible red Mustang worth £100,000 for our shoot with her. It’s a world away from her usual car trips, heading up the M6 with the kids to visit husband Frank.
“He’s away more now than ever,” she says of the Everton manager who lives at their second home in Liverpool. “There are people with partners on the other side of the world, so I don’t dwell on it. We make it work.
“I’ve been doing this drive since Frank went in January and it can be intense. It took me four hours last time, with the two kids and the dog! But when we get there, it’s brilliant. The distance means Frank and I are still excited to see each other.”
