Christine Lampard gushes over hubby Frank as they celebrate his birthday in Ibiza

Christine Lampard laid on the love for her husband Frank as they celebrated his birthday in Ibiza.

The happy couple are on the Spanish party island with their two kids Patricia, three and Frank, two.

The Northern Irish presenter, 43, shared a montage of clips of the former footballer, 44, with the caption: "Wrapping up the birthday celebrations for the best husband and daddy we could wish for! We love you @franklampard."

In the first shot Frank can be seen cuddling little Frank, who was asleep on his dad's lap under a blanket.

In another, the Everton manager enjoys a glass of wine as the family dined al fresco with stunning views of the sea.

Frank and Christine first met at the Pride of Britain Awards in 2009.

The ex-footballer was previously married to Spanish model Elen Rivas with whom he shares two daughters Luna, 16 and Isla, 14.

He tied the knot with Christine in 2015 before welcoming their daughter Patricia in 2018, who is named after Franks' mum.

The family live in London although the father-of-four spends some of the week in Liverpool, where he manages one of the city's football teams.

Speaking about their long-distance relationship, Christine admits she has it easy in terms of child care.

She told The Sun's Fabulous Magazine : "Oh my god, we’ve literally nothing to be moaning about compared to some people.

"I feel for single parents or anyone who works 12 hours a day and juggles childcare, because it is really difficult.”

The couple previously moved to New York for two years when Frank signed for the city's football club in 2015.

But since their return to the UK, Christine opted to stay in London while Frank is up north, but the pair don't see the distance as an issue.

"Well, you just can’t [uproot the whole family]," the mum-of-two explained.

"Our home is here [in London], certainly at the minute anyway, because Patricia has her little classes and I’ve got my stuff.”

Christine shot to fame as the presenter of The One Show, which she co-hosted with Adrian Chiles.

She has since bagged gigs fronting Dancing On Ice, This Morning, Loose Women and currently fills in for Lorraine Kelly when duty calls.
