Christine Lampard on her career success and the importance of coming back to NI

Christine Lampard says she is grateful for the opportunities that have come her way during her career.

The Newtownards woman has recently released her second clothing collection with fashion retailer Wallis - which she says she 'can't believe'.

She has also opened up on why it's so important to her to take her young children Patricia and Freddie to visit family in Northern Ireland, despite the fact London is now her base.

Speaking about her collection, the TV presenter told Be : "Me, my mum and my sister have always loved Wallis so it feels so surreal to be working with them, they are such a great bunch so I consider myself very lucky.

"It is so hard to choose [my favourite pieces], I love them all but I do love the suits, we have a few different colours to choose from too. They are super comfy and can be dressed up or down depending on how you are feeling!

"I am really loving the charcoal loungewear, again another outfit which you can dress up or down which again is super comfy. Comfort is key for me at the moment, especially with two young children to be running around after."

Christine says she really enjoyed the process of creating the collection and putting it together.

"I loved it! It's so nice to really be able to get involved and to understand what goes on behind the scenes.

"The Wallis team are so lovely and seem to know me better than I know myself so every meeting we have I always come away feeling really excited!" she said.

The 43-year-old said the success of her first collection "felt amazing".

"You never really know how these things are going to go, just because I love it doesn’t mean everyone else will but I am so happy they did."

The mum-of-two added how when starting off her career, she never thought she'd have her own clothing collab.

"I very much take each day as it comes and I am grateful for all the opportunities that come my way, especially this one."

Christine also told Be how important she feels it is to take her children to visit her home in Northern Ireland.

"I love going back home and taking the children, I try to get back as much as possible we always either stay at mum and dad’s or my sister’s.

"I love nothing more than going home and having one of mum’s roast dinners.

"It is so important for me that the children get to see my roots and where I grew up."
