Christine Lampard has banned her husband from naming their baby after a footballer

Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, she said of the pair's discussion of baby names: "Calling him or her after any footballers is definitely off the agenda. I've warned Frank. We had a few discussions and it won't be happening."

Instead, the 'Loose Women' panellist would like Frank's daughters Luna, 12, and 11-year-old Isla - whom he has with former partner Elen Rivas - to help choose a name.

She said recently: "Not really - well, sort of. We kind of have, the girls have, but nothing that's definite at all.

"Nothing ridiculous [has been suggested] - they're all very good. And it would be lovely to pick something that the girls have chosen, so we'll see how it goes."

Christine can't wait to have a little one in the house and is so relieved that her stepdaughters - who she gets on well with - are excited about the arrival too.

She said: "[I'm most looking forward to] having this new addition in the house.

"The girls are so thrilled about it. It will be the excitement of having a little one in the house again. It's really lovely for everybody."

But while she and Frank - who got married in 2015 - will have their hands full with a newborn, they're also bracing themselves for the girls hitting their teenage years.

Christine explained: "The girls are getting grown up now. They were only two and four when I first met them and now they're 11 and 12, so we're heading into the teenage years. It's all about their friends. Things change all of a sudden, you know. It is what it is but it's good that I've had a long run into it."
