Christine Lampard is 'thrilled' about her husband's new job - despite it taking him miles away from home.
Former England footballer Frank Lampard was appointed as the new manager of Everton football club.
This means he will be spending lots of time away from the London home he shares with Loose Women TV presenter Christine, 43, and their children as he travels to and from Liverpool.

But Christine couldn't be more delighted for her husband and is incredibly supportive of his new role, according to a source.
The source told OK! Magazine : "Christine is really thrilled about it because it makes Frank happy. He’s been busy with other work, but he was really keen to get back into a manager role.
"Christine knows it’s his passion and his dream, and it’s what he’s good at, so she’s delighted."
Frank, also 43, was devastated last year after his role as head coach at Chelsea FC came to an end after just 18 months, but the source revealed he is ready to put all of the time and effort required into managing the Blues.
The source said: "The deal Frank has signed has been going on for some time – and it’s perfect for him. So it’s great news that it’s been finalised. He was really gutted about Chelsea, so this is great.
"This will be a very hands-on role for Frank so he’ll have to put a lot of time and effort into it. But Christine knows that and she’s happy for him. She wanted this to happen more than anyone."
