Christine and Frank Lampard cut a casual figure as they enjoy a stroll with daughter Patricia... after rushing back from French break to avoid quarantine

They were forced to cut their holiday short to avoid quarantining for two weeks.

But Frank and Christine Lampard still put on a casual display as they headed out for a stroll with their daughter Patricia, 23 months, on Tuesday.

The Loose Women presenter, 41, opted for a casual black sportswear as she strolled through London with the Chelsea manager, 42, after rushing back from their summer break in France before the quarantine measures were introduced.

Christine displayed her toned physique in tight black sportswear as she pushed little Patricia in her pram, while Frank held onto the lead for their pet pooch.

With a coffee in hand, Frank opted for a relaxed grey top and tracksuit bottoms as they headed to the park with their daughter.

The couple had recently travelled to Antibes in France for a family holiday with Patricia, as well as Frank's children from his previous relationship, Luna, 14, and Isla, 13.

However, the Blues boss and his wife jetted home early to ensure they weren't faced with the new quarantine restrictions that began at 4:00 am on Saturday, and so Frank wouldn't miss out on the start of pre-season. 

The Premier League season is scheduled to begin on 12 September, with pre-season fixtures for Chelsea expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Frank and Christine were staying at the glamorous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc when the news broke that France had been removed from the 'safe' list along with Holland. 

The Lampard family are not the only ones to have their holidays disrupted. 

The plans have resulted in 500,000 Brits having their trips cut short by the government's rule change as they try to avoid having to self-isolate for 14 days once they return home.

Christine had also been standing in for Lorraine Kelly as the host of her daytime chat show over the summer, along with Andi Peters. 

The star recently admitted she struggled with being apart from her family while isolating with husband Frank and their daughter Patricia.

She said: 'I'm seeing my family for the first time at the moment. That's been the hardest thing for me...

'When I finally got to see my family, it was emotional, which I'm sure everyone across the country has been finding.

'We have been in touch constantly throughout, but when you have a little one, you really appreciate the relationship they have with their grandparents and I don't like them not being part of that and missing out on all the tiny things they do day-to-day.'

 

Christine added that Patricia has been delighted to have Frank - who gets tested for coronavirus twice a week - home for the majority of the lockdown after football was put on hold during the peak of the pandemic.

She admitted though that her little girl isn't used to having her dad around so much, joking: 'I am 100% her world because I’ve been with her 24 hours a day. 

'Frank actually being at home for a big chunk at the beginning of lockdown was fantastic, as much as it was for the awful reasons we were there. It was just lovely.   

Christine married former footballer Frank in December 2015, and they welcomed daughter Patricia in September 2018.

Frank is father to daughters Luna and Isla with his former fiancée Elen Rivas, 45.

The football manager was in a relationship with Elen for seven years.
