Christine Bleakley describes fiance Frank Lampard's daughters as her 'little mates'

Christine Bleakley has described her footballer fiance Frank Lampard's daughters 9-year-old Luna and 7-year-old Isla as her "little mates."

Speaking about her step-mum role, the 36-year-old TV presenter said that it's got a bad reputation thanks to Disney, adding that no one grows up thinking that they want to be a stepmum, the Mirror reported.

Bleakley added that it's a role people find themselves in and she is very aware of trying to do it as brilliantly as she can, but she says that the duo waited a year into their relationship before she even met his daughters.

Bleakley, who has been engaged to footballer since 4 years and admits they still haven't set a date, continued that she and her "little mates" have girlie chats, adding that she is not their mum, nor does she want to be.
