Wedding bells for Christine and Frank?
Wedding bells for Christine and Frank?

Football star Frank Lampard is reportedly planning to propose to girlfriend of two years, Christine Bleakley.

The Sunday Mirror claims that Lampard is planning to pop the question to the 'Daybreak' presenter while on board Roman Abramovich's yacht in Sardinia next week.

"Frank intends to propose in the most romantic way possible," a source said. "He's got it all planned out. He will spend most of June away with Christine, and by the time he and Christine are back in London, they will be engaged."

"Frank wants it to be the perfect marriage proposal and is actually a bit nervous in case he fluffs his lines."

"Roman treats Frank like family and is very likely to make one of his boats available to him and Christine. Roman is so close to Frank he really wouldn't think twice about it."

Bleakley has previously admitted that when she first met Lampard she was wary of him.

"I was very cautious, because I read newspapers. Sadly footballers, whether good or bad, come with a certain stereotype," she said.

The presenter described the Chelsea player, who has children from a previous relationship, as "a brilliant daddy" and said she thought he would be "very happy" to have more children.

"I have another couple of years of getting up at 3 o'clock in the morning. But definitely would like to do it," she said.

She also insisted in an interview with She magazine, that she was un-aware of any future proposals?

"Technically, I should be the last person to know it because it's up to him to do the asking. I can't imagine not being with him. He jokingly talks about the marriage thing, but I'm in no hurry. I'm very happy the way that we are."
