Jamie Redknapp issues apology after dad Harry aims quip at Frida

Jamie Redknapp issued an apology to wife Frida Andersson after his dad Harry sent a cheeky Christmas message to their newborn son.

The former Liverpool FC captain welcomed Raphael Anders Redknapp into the world when he was born at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on November 24.

The 48-year-old marked the baby's first Christmas Day along with Frida, his sons, Charles and Beau, and parents Harry and Sandra - as Mirror Online reports.

Jamie delighted fans as he shared snaps of the adorable family occasion, including one of his dad cuddling Raphael.

He captioned the post: "When Harry met Raphael ."

However, Jamie was forced to apologise later in the day after his dad aimed a cheeky jibe at Frida.

In a video posted on Instagram, Harry can be heard telling Raphael: “Raph, if you’re in the garden with that football and you practice harder, if you are going to play for England, we need you to practice.”

He then jokingly tells Raphael he will "play for Sweden" if he doesn’t practice.

Jamie and Sandra can be heard laughing in the background at the quip as Frida takes the baby out of shot.

The Sky Sports pundit captioned the slip: "Harry’s Christmas message to Raphael!

"Sorry Frida. No offence Sweden. No offence Zlatan [legendary Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic]!”

Jamie's celebrity fans were left gushing after the regular updates from the big day.

Peter Crouch’s wife Abbey Clancy wrote: “Can’t believe we missed you xx Hope you all had a great day xx.”

Former footballer Wayne Bridge added: “Happy Christmas geezer.”
