Frank Lampard is a doting dad through and through as he treats rarely seen kids Patricia, four, and Freddie, two, to a fun outing in Winter Wonderland

Frank Lampard treated youngest children Patricia and Freddie to a fun day out at Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland in London on Wednesday.

The former footballer, 45, who shares the little ones with his wife and Loose Women star Christine, 44, was every doting dad on the outing.

Frank wore a thick coat and a hat, showed his sporting skills at the fairground games and won the children a whole series of cuddly toys.

Patricia, four, and Freddie, two, were also dressed for the cold weather as they tucked into cotton candy and sweets while their dad had a pint.

Frank is also father to Isla, 16, and Luna, 18, who he shares with former partner Elen Rivas.

It comes after Christine revealed she had cut a close friend out of her life after they became too ‘flirty’ with her husband Frank.

The presenter admitted that although she hates confrontation, she is not afraid to ghost someone if they touch her the wrong way.

The Loose Women star admitted that at the start of her relationship with the former Chelsea and England footballer, 45, she had a boyfriend who crossed the line and became too ‘flirty and touchy’ with the sportsman.

In an interview with Closer magazine, Christine explained: ‘It was in the early days of Frank and I and there was a certain person, who we don’t really see anymore, who could get very flirty and touchy while I was there!

“I found that really awkward – at least a kiss is out there and in the open, but secretly under a table?”

Christine continued: ‘I avoid confrontation – I don’t like confrontation – but I’m brilliant at ghosting. I can easily distance myself and that’s how I deal with things that irritate me.’

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

The star previously spoke about how the two met told The mirror: ‘It was a complete Sliding Doors moment, I remember the first meeting as clear as day. Who goes to an awards show and finds a husband? That was me!

‘We weren’t both supposed to go and I was late after hosting The One Show. So if we’re there now, we’ll drink a celebratory glass of champagne. It’s a special evening for us.’

Christine keeps her family life very private, yet in June she gave a rare insight into the blended family life she shares with her husband and her battle with anxiety.

Speak with Women&Home magazine, Christine said, “Freddie just turned two, so he’s a whirlwind.

‘They’re both funny, amazing and exhausting. I think they took all my energy away, but it’s worth it.”

The Loose Women star said about her marriage to Frank: ‘We try to prioritize the needs of each other and the children, but when he was playing football he would be away at least two or three nights a week training afterwards.

‘Now we do our best to go out for dinner, or spend an evening on the couch if possible.’

The brunette beauty also explained that her life now is very different from when she first met Frank’s daughters and that she can’t remember life before.

Christine added: “Being part of a blended family is wonderful. I can’t remember life before.

‘When I first met Isla and Luna, they were two and four. Now they are sixteen and almost eighteen and have just completed their GCSE and A-levels.’
