FOOTIE hero Frank Lampard HAS scored with TV beauty Christine Bleakley, the News of the World can reveal.
The pair have been dating in secret for FIVE WEEKS and are said to be totally smitten, talking daily and exchanging sexy texts.
One source close to the couple said: "Frank is well and truly bowled over and she thinks he is the hottest thing on two legs."
Their cover was broken last weekend when BBC The One Show host Christine was photographed leaving London nightclub Whisky Mist.
Lamps, 31, hung back so they would not be spotted leaving together but the club's glass doors clearly showed his reflection.
The source said: "They laughed about it afterwards. They know they can't hide this forever."
Now we can reveal he and the Ulster beauty, 29, have been an item since hitting it off at an awards event on October 5.
Fancied
And as recently as FRIDAY NIGHT, Christine was seen leaving the Chelsea and England star's £3million London townhouse in the early hours.
Our source said of their first meeting: "Frank had fancied Christine for ages but their paths had never crossed until then. Christine responded very positively to Frank, who is not your typical footballer.
"She was pleasantly surprised by how sophisticated he is."
Both are emerging from broken relationships. Lampard split with Spaniard Elen Rives last year. He has been keeping his feelings for Christine hidden to protect their daughters Luna, four, and Isla, two.
Our source said: "Frank's absolute priority has always been his girls and he will not commit until he is sure the woman he is introducing into their lives is the right one.
"He is rapidly arriving at that decision. He's smitten with Christine."
And she has wanted to put "clear blue water" between her break up with fiancé Mark Bierne, 35, in January and a new man.
She and Lampard have enjoyed a string of low-key dates since their first On October 24, they were at West End club Amika with a group of friends to conceal their closeness.
The source said: "Christine arrived with Frank and some Strictly Come Dancing mates including Zoe Lucker and Joe Calzaghe.
They went in the VIP area while Frank splashed out on bubbly for the group.
"Christine hit the dancefloor and started throwing some of the moves she learned in Strictly but she was dancing for one man only.
"Frank was mesmerised. You couldn't fail to notice it."
And on Friday Christine was comforting Lamps at his home where he is recovering from the injury that forced him to miss England's friendly with Brazil yesterday.
She stayed until 2am when a male friend of the footballer walked her back to her £30,000 white Audi A5, parked discreetly 200 yards away.
Lampard and Christine are said to have become even closer when he credited her with ending his goal drought.
When they met he had only scored once all season but he soon scored three in three days, including two against Blackburn when she was in the crowd. A pal said: "Frank texted her saying jokingly, 'You've turned my season around.' " The relationship also kills rumours Christine and One Show co-star Adrian Chiles were an item.
Christine's pal Amanda Holden, writing in our Fabulous mag today, says of the relationship: "He sounds smart and funny and as they're both single I can tell her to go for it!"

I am an Arsenal fan, however I have always had a lot of respect for Frank Lampard. They are not exactly teenagers who do not know what they are doing. Obviously they both have noticed qualities that the like about each other and I do not see why ANYBODY should have any say in this matter. The people who are criticizing Frank Lampard are assuming that learning only comes from schools. By playing for England, Frank Lampard is well travelled and associates with people of high standing, this alone will have given him an education that most other people do not have.
If their relationship develops further and they find happiness in each other then good luck to them.

people are sayin what a waste for dating a no brain footballer, however he's one of the smartest footballers in the prem, having an oustandingly high IQ and getting 9 o-levels(GCSES) which included A's and A*s, i like the way people just think he's dumb cos of his job

And you´re Brad Pitt are you?? Why bother posting if all you are going to do is show your own self dissapointment and inadequacies?? Grow up you idiot.

My oh my.... jealousy is not a nice thing, but even if you are jealous, at least have the dignity to keep it to yourself and not show it on a public forum. I have never seen so many people with green faces. He is a nice guy, well educated, well off and a dedicated professional.... They are facts, so to even suggest anything else is just too funny for my humble words to explain!!

You may think it is money she is after, but I would think she has plenty of her own. For those wondering what she sees in Frank, well a footballer he may be, a cockney accent he may have but that hides the fact that he is a well educated man who went to a private school and is very articulate, I think he just hides it well. No one really knows what happend between him and Elen Rives, but she has moved on and is often seen out on the town, so why shouldn't Frank be out enjoying life? As long as he looks after his kids (does anyone here have real proof and not just hearsay that he doesn't?) no one should be saying anything negative about him on this matter.
Get a life people, you only comment negatively because your own boring existence is so futile.
By Jim.. Posted November 15 2009 at 4:09 PM.
"Frank is not your aveage footballer" - oh please, be serious. A couple of CSE at a private school doesn't make him different. I'd rather have a man who was travelled and worldly not that vain, half talented chav.
She doesn't look that great in the picture and he's decidedly "nothing" in the looks stakes. They probably deserve each other. Poor old Adrian. Why keep it a secret? Thay are both single.
By Jan.. Posted November 15 2009 at 3:32 PM.
big frank,thats a good catch,but i wud rather u date rihanna,or leona lewis!!! go much more
By nelz.. Posted November 15 2009 at 2:54 PM.
How's your back after your bumpy air plane ride? I'm guessing it wasn't as bad as we were all led to believe! I don't know if you realize but some people have memories that go back at least a week, as such they probably can't make the leap of a crippled FL almost carried off a plane, only to read a day or so later that a remarkable recovery has allowed FL to go clubbing with the latest pick up who gets to leave the Lampard Mansion at 2AM. No doubt administering personal massage. I'm sure your kids are very proud of your life style! Standard retort, "they have everything they need".
By bumper59.. Posted November 15 2009 at 2:52 PM.
Doubt she is after his money, she has plenty of her own. Why are people so stupid! Anyway, I think she is lovely and I think his mum would have loved her. Good luck Frank and Christine.
By Donna Marsh.. Posted November 15 2009 at 2:11 PM.
looks like she's made of leather.
By 123.. Posted November 15 2009 at 1:48 PM.
sophisticated and frank lampard doesnt really go together, but then christine bleakley and tv beauty doesnt really go either, theyre both as dog faced as each other, he should have stayed with the mother of his children and been loyal. dont know why anybody likes either of them seriously do people have beer goggles on??
By Juan Milez.. Posted November 15 2009 at 1:47 PM.
Fair play to both of them I say.
She is from Northern Ireland and only a few years ago was working from a very humble set up that included local radio and dating a local guy.Now she is a national treasure so to speak, the talk of the town and in my opinion going out with an all round decent guy who also happens to be a great footballer who in decades to come will be lauded as such.Utopia for both by the looks of it and good luck to them.
By Micky Weir.. Posted November 15 2009 at 12:22 PM.
It is not by chance that Frank Lampard is worshipped in West London and revered by half of Glasgow. He is dignified, hard-working and discreet. Pick on someone who deserves it and give the boy a bleedin' break!
By Glasgow Blue.. Posted November 15 2009 at 11:37 AM.
I've gotta be the biggest Lampsy fan ever and i'm happy for him :) and 1. hes clearly NOT fat, you're probably a man u fan. and 2. hes not stupid either! he went to a private school and got really good gcse grades which i expect is more than those who say hes stupid. Yay for Frankie :) xxxx
By Rosie.. Posted November 15 2009 at 11:37 AM.
Good luck to both of them they are both lovely people.
By nora.. Posted November 15 2009 at 11:21 AM.
Good luck to them both. In reply to elton, just because Frank is a footballer doesn't mean he's stupid. I guess you are just jealous, I notice you are not all thst bright, you can't spell the word you !
By alan.. Posted November 15 2009 at 10:46 AM.
On dear Christine, I thought you had more brains than this. A footballer? Frank Lampard? For goodness sake, get yourself a real man.
By Helen E... Posted November 15 2009 at 10:02 AM.
29? She looks at least 40
By cheeky.. Posted November 15 2009 at 10:11 AM.
Frank Lampard is so lucky. she is so gorgeous . good luck to them.
By elton .. Posted November 15 2009 at 9:26 AM.
What a waste of such a beauty! A footballer without a brain gets one of the nations crown jewels! Tell me yer making this up.
By John.. Posted November 15 2009 at 9:16 AM.
Let's face it, he does like an accent ....
By John Palmer.. Posted November 15 2009 at 8:52 AM.
good luck to them both , there r some small minded petty people out there,he has good taste after all shes from northern ireland.
By gillian caulfield.. Posted November 15 2009 at 8:23 AM.
how can she be after his money when she already has a good job. some people talk out off their backsides good luck..............
By pollie.. Posted November 15 2009 at 8:15 AM.
Why are people so nasty? Normal people would hope that they are both having a good time.
By Anton Ford.. Posted November 15 2009 at 7:34 AM.
Good old Frank. Top of the league on and off the pitch.
By Jonathan Smart.. Posted November 15 2009 at 7:18 AM.
Shame there are so many petty people around, good luck to both of them, they are single, not harming anyone else so go for it.
By John Kelly.. Posted November 15 2009 at 5:29 AM.
Just like most predatory females. Grabbing herself a meal ticket. Just hope Lampard has the sense to realise this.
By Jonboy.. Posted November 15 2009 at 5:11 AM.
Only place he is scoring - ol' FatBoy's legs have gone this season and he's about as dangerous as a blindfolded Heskey!
By mikey.. Posted November 15 2009 at 4:36 AM.
So she has scored with Fat Frank? seems like shes' into beefy men as i heard she was dating Brummy Porker MOTD2's Adrian Chiles? do you think she would look at Frank twice if he was Driving a Bus or Flipping Burgers for a living?
By Mr Beaver (colchester).. Posted November 15 2009 at 3:01 AM.
She seems to have a thing for fat blokes!
By Peter Channing.. Posted November 15 2009 at 2:27 AM.
Good luck Frank...hope she's not just after your money!!
By jim.. Posted November 15 2009 at 2:34 AM.
Disappointed. I thought she had more class and taste!
