Christine Lampard was left speechless during Thursday’s instalment of Good Morning Britain when she was awkwardly probed by Ranvir Singh about her marriage.
The TV personality, 45, is married to football manager Frank Lampard, and the couple share children Patricia, five, and Freddie, two, after tying the knot in 2015.
Christine is also stepmother to Luna, 18, and Isla, 16, from Frank’s previous relationship with Spanish model Elen Rives.
During the breakfast programme on Thursday, as usual, hosts Ed Balls and Ranvir Singh cut to the Lorraine studio to check in with Christine on what was coming up on the show later.
Ed asked: ‘What have you got coming up for us Christine?,’ to which the stand-in presenter eagerly responded: ‘Hello, well, we’ve got lots for you today.

‘Coming up here, his hot girl summer continues, we’ll find out why Tom Cruise’s night at the Olympics has got everyone talking. And we’re putting your memory to the test and tips to boost it.’
She then teased a segment that looks at the advantages and disadvantages of going on holiday separately from your partner.
Christine continued: ‘Then, why going on holiday without your partner could be good for your relationship.’
But suddenly, Ranvir jumped in with a surprising question that left the Lorraine host lost for words.
She playfully joked: ‘Hang on a minute, Christine, what’s going on at home? Come on, you can share. Are you and Frank going on separate holidays?’
Christine appeared to be caught off guard and was silent for a moment before remarking: ‘Weirdly I’ve never done it and have no intention to, but today we’re seeing why apparently it could be really good for you so who knows? It’s early days.’
Ranvir laughed: ‘Okay well we’ll be listening,’ with Ed chiming in with: ‘Don’t do it Christine, don’t do it’.

The mishap comes just Christine revealed that her husband is like ‘the son my mum and dad never had’ as she told how he loves being doted on by his in-laws.
While discussing her parents Frederick and Mina, the beauty told Woman & Home: ‘I love the relationship Frank has with my family. Frank is like the son my mum and dad never had.’
She continued: ‘If I’m working or I’m away, he’ll happily sit on the sofa and get spoiled the same way I do, and he loves it.’
The Loose Women panellist also admitted that life with the former Chelsea and England football player has changed somewhat since they had kids.
However, she revealed their 15-year romance is still going strong because they make sure to prioritise ‘us time’.
Christine stepped in to front Lorraine over the summer, while Lorraine Kelly takes an extended holiday.
Fans are delighted with the hosting shake-up, so much so that they want the show to be renamed ‘Christine’ while the Irish presenter is on our screens.
According to the viral ‘Where Is Lorraine?’ X (formerly Twitter) account, Lorraine, 64, has hosted 99 episodes out of 150 (66%) this year, meanwhile Christine, 45, has hosted 29 episodes.

Ranvir Singh has reportedly fronted 18, and Louise Minchin and Joel Dommett have both hosted two.
Keen viewers of the ITV programme have flocked to social media to gush over Christine’s ‘honest’ presenting skills, with others claiming the programme needs a rebrand:
‘#Lorraine Lovely woman Christine should be renamed this show and get rid of that Kelly.’
‘TBH they might as well rename it Christine for as long as she’s presenting! Imagine the opening credits…’
‘I enjoy #Lorraine more when Christine hosts the show. She’s more natural and comes across more genuine.’
‘At this point you might as well call the show ‘Christine’ #lorraine.’
‘#Lorraine l do think Christine should host this show permanently. I always think she is honest, herself, interviews well and is sincere.’
‘#Lorraine This show needs a rename #Ranvir #christine #anyonebutlorraine.’
‘It should be renamed Ranvir or Christine for Fridays, with both having their own titles #Lorraine.’
