Feeling broody: Christine revealed that she wants to be a mother and said that children were the most important thing in her life


First she donned a huge wedding dress and now Christine Bleakley has revealed she is desperate for children saying becoming a mother is the most important goal in her life.

The 31-year-old presenter outlined her strong desire to have children on Daybreak discussing a Daily Mail article regarding the fertility of women as they age.

The debate was centred on warnings from doctors that women at 35-years-old are six times more likely to have fertility problems than women aged 25-years-old and Christine stated that having children was her highest priority in her life.


She said: ‘For me, I’m 31, I don’t have babies. And for me, having children is the biggest and most important thing I’m ever going to do in my life.’

‘It’s not about my career, it’s not about your job or anything else, it’s about that.’

With Christine reaching the age where her fertility could cause problems when trying to conceive children she was adamant she wanted children.

Group discussion: Christine was talking about the Daily Mail on the Daybreak when she made her revelations


The news may see boyfriend Frank Lampard heading for the hills as the revelations could turn up the pressure on their relationship.

Earlier in the week Christine donned a huge wedding frock on her TV show and was the first to quip that Frank might have been freaked out by her appearance and said he was ‘currently running a mile’.

The dress was in fact a mock up of a dress worn on My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding which documents the wedding customs of traveller people.

But the sheer sight of her in the wedding frock could have been her way of sending a not-so-subtle message to Frank about her intentions.

While Christine made light of Frank’s possible reaction speculation about an impending engagement have been swirling around the couple for some time, since she moved into Lampard's London home.

The couple have both spoken about their contented home life, and a source told the Daily Mail recently that Lampard has told friends that she is 'absolutely the girl for him

And while marriage could be on the cards soon, Christine did outline that she isn't quite ready for children.

She said: ‘I just don’t feel quite ready to do it yet. I don’t feel ready to sort of have that role.’

When it was put to Christine that at 31, she’s still quite young, Christine replied: ‘It is, well yes, but you know suddenly, you’re 35 in a flash and it’s just the timing doesn’t feel quite right and yet I still want children, so.’

Christine and Frank, who has already has two daughters with former fiancee Elen Rivas, have been together for just over a year.
