Christine Lampard: 'Motherhood has been brilliant - Patricia is already starting to walk'
Colleagues at ITV say she’s a dream to work with and has no ego or “side” to her whatsoever, dispelling the myth that you have to be ruthless to get ahead in what can be a cut-throat industry.
"She’s desperately trying to walk, she pulls herself up and is doing that crawling around the edge of the sofa thing. She’s very determined. Christine exclusively breastfed for the first six months and is currently phasing the boob out as Patricia – who husband Frank, 41, affectionately calls Patsy – approaches her first birthday.
“They adore her, I mean completely and utterly adore her, even more than I imagined they would. They’re at that perfect stage where I can ask them to keep an eye on her while I have a quick shower. They’re both very helpful, trustworthy and so brilliant with her.” “So many of my friends are struggling or have struggled and their work colleagues wouldn’t know it. And men suffer with it as well. It can be a terrible strain.”prompts a sharp intake of breath followed by a grimace. Christine admits she’s nervous for him.
“He’s relishing it. It’s an all-consuming job. Right down to deciding what people have for their lunch, everything goes through the gaffer. “You know when you can read someone else’s mind? While I think the term ‘soulmate’ is a bit bleugh, I guess that’s sort of what it is. When you meet someone and you don’t have to work at it. That’s what you want, isn’t it?
“I find the whole political platform at the minute so crazy. And because it’s so intense I wonder if a lot of people just back off and go: ‘Oh, I don’t want to hear the word Brexit any more,’ and disengage.’”Christine says she is a feminist and that she's happy to have seen the TV industry change to accommodate more women“I think I am. If I’m sitting on a sofa with someone on the telly doing the exact same job, we should be paid the same.
