Lampard: “I’m still a single man”

TV Presenter Christine Bleakley was well on the way to becoming the newest WAG, after several months of dating England footballer Frank Lampard but now it appears that the relationship is over after Lampard revealed “I’m still a single man” during an interview.

Christine confirmed last month that she and Lampard were a couple, after months of secret dating, and said: “it is early days, so we are trying to be low key. But I am very happy.”

The couple met last year after Lampard split from his wife from lingerie model Elen Rives, 34, and have been secretly dating (or perhaps not so secretly with the media following them) and have even travelled to Ireland to meet Christine’s parents, so all was looking good.

A source said: “It has come as a real bolt out of the blue. Everyone thought the two of them were going strong. By the way Christine was talking, she did too.”

The split is somewhat shrouded in mystery and no comment has been heard from The One Show presenter Christine in order to shed some light on the breakup.

The England footballer was being interviewed about England’s upcoming match in South Africa when he revealed the apparent split.

Asked about Captain Fabio Capello’s WAG ban at the World Cup match, Lampard said that he didn’t think the ban would apply to him and said: “It is definitely, definitely a good thing. If I’m honest, I felt this at the last World Cup.”

The WAGs will only get to see their partners for one day during the tournament, presumably so they can concentrate on their game!
