Frank's like the son Mum and Dad never had

CHRISTINE Lampard says husband Frank loves being doted on by his in-laws, revealing that her parents treat him like the son they never had.

The TV host, 45, said life with the former Chelsea and England footballer has changed somewhat since they had kids Patricia, five, and Freddie, three.

But she revealed their 15-year romance is still going strong because they make sure they get some "us time".

Christine said of her parents Frederick and Mina, who live in Northern Ireland: "I love the relationship Frank has with my family. Frank is like the son my mum and dad never had.

"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.

"Of course, having our two little ones brings a whole new dimension to the family set-up. I never take it for granted.
