If Christmas is all about cheer, we can see why Christine Lampard is the poster girl for the season. The presenter, 44, is all smiles as she sits down to talk to us about returning as No7's Christmas gifting ambassador, joking, "Does that make me Mrs Claus?" To her children - Patricia, five, and two-year-old Freddie we imagine it does. Loose Women star Christine, who is married to football legend Frank, says Christmas is big in their household, and that this year she'll be making it more magical than ever.
The couple will celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary in December - though she says it will be a low-key occasion and she'd rather spend quality time with her husband than be spoiled with lavish presents.
Here, we chat to Christine about spreading the festive cheer, her very unconventional timesaving beauty hack and the one item she'd bring into the I'm A Celeb jungle...
Hey, Christine! Is it too early to say Merry Christmas?
No, we go early on Christmas! I'm always early on the Christmas tree.
So your family are big fans of the festive season then?
I love it, naturally, and my children are also at an age where they now really get it. They're excited and I kind of want to just elongate that lovely experience for as long as possible. I'll do the OTT tacky, blow-up Santa in the garden and stuff like that. I'll definitely push the boat out.
Are we right in thinking your wedding anniversary is around Christmas, too?
It's the 20th of December, so we'll definitely celebrate around then, even if it's just a dinner. We're eight years married this year and just the other day my sister said, 'Do you think you'll do a big party on your 10th anniversary?' We don't do parties, but it could be more of a Christmas thing.
Do you combine Christmas and anniversary gifts?
