Despite not always being in the same vicinity, Christine maintained that the pair are still able to share a laugh together. “We’re still absolute best mates, like he’ll be the first person I’ll pick the phone up to and sort anything out with,” she shared.

Christine and Frank own a stunning townhouse in London which is thought to be worth an estimated £10 million. Their home boasts lavish monochrome interiors, a swanky high-end kitchen and a plush living room. They also have a beautiful garden decked out with a sleek patio area.
Elsewhere, the raven-haired beauty touched on the secret to their happy marriage, revealing: “We have the same points of view on things. We don’t argue over parenting or how things run in the house.
“We sort of sing off the same page and that sort of makes everything flow…The basis is, there’s love, we’ve got each other’s backs and we’re supportive. And if he suggests that some job is happening and he wants to do it, we’ll make it work.”

Christine and Frank’s family life
Loved-up couple Christine and Frank first met back in 2009 while at the Pride of Britain Awards. After a whirlwind romance, they went on to tie the knot in 2015. They have since welcomed two children together, a daughter called Patricia, and a son called Freddie.

Of her role as a stepmother, Christine previously said: “I have had the girls since they were four and two and they are 13 and 11 so I have been through all the toddler years, the primary and secondary school bit and teenagers are around the corner, that is preparation, although the baby years is all new to me!”

My attitude towards having kids was always, ‘If it happens, it happens.’ I think because Isla and Luna were so young when I met Frank, I was never thinking, ‘I must have babies.’
She continued: “I always thought, ‘Let’s see, and if it doesn’t happen, I’ll deal with it in any way I need to’.”
