Christine Lampard has shared rare photos of her two children soaking up the sun on a family holiday abroad.
Sharing the sweet album on Instagram, the 45-year-old TV personality shared some sweet snaps of her son Freddie and daughter Patricia.
For her second photo, Patricia looked adorable in a yellow tutu and unicorn hat as she played with her bucket and spade.
Sharing the album with her 645,000 followers, she wrote: “After a few wonderful days away from home building sandcastles, I’m back for a summer stint on @lorraine. See you in the morning.”
Her sweet post comes after she revealed that her footballer husband Frank “is like the son your mum and dad never had” as she shared her secrets to a successful marriage.
Speaking candidly about her family life in the September issue of Women and homeShe said Frank will let his parents pamper him like they would her, even when she’s not there.
She explained that she never takes her marriage to the now football coach for granted and that they always take time to get ready and “have a proper laugh.”
The Loose Women panellist said: “I love the relationship Frank has with my family. Frank is like the son my mum and dad never had.
‘Whether I’m working or out, he happily sits on the couch and gets pampered just like I do, and he loves it.
‘Of course, having our two little ones brings a whole new dimension to the family setup.

“I never take anything for granted. Frank and I always make time for each other, which is very special.
We love to dress up, go somewhere nice, and laugh a lot. I still get a thrill out of it.
‘We’ll go out for a bite to eat, but if it’s in the afternoon we’ll come back at a decent hour because we know work or a small child will wake us up at dawn.
“I’m just as happy hanging out with Frank as I am hanging out with a group of girls. I like to sneak in lunch so I can get home early and avoid a hangover.
“If I knew I could stay in bed and sleep the next day after a night of partying, that would be fine, but I can’t.”

Christine also revealed the meaning behind her daughter’s name and how naming the little girl was an emotional day for the family.
She said: ‘Naming our daughter Patricia was a real tribute to Frank’s mother, who passed away 16 years ago.
‘There are still moments when losing his mother leaves Frank breathless, and he can’t believe it’s been so long.
‘There are certain moments, on random days, when everything around him becomes engulfed in him. I never got to meet Frank’s mother, but there is a beautiful photograph of her in our house and, even though the children are very young, they know exactly who he is.
“It was a very emotional day when I asked Frank, ‘Why don’t we name our daughter Patricia?’ I think he was overwhelmed.
“I look at her now and it’s none other than Patricia.”
Frank’s mother, Patricia, died after a battle with pneumonia in 2008, aged 58.
