Christine Lampard shares a gushing tribute to step-daughter Isla as she celebrates her 13th birthday

Christine Lampard celebrated her step-daughter Isla’s birthday while in lockdown on Wednesday.

The TV presenter, 41, shared a gushing tribute to husband Frank’s second daughter with ex Elen Rivas by posting pictures from her low-key celebration at home, as well as throwback snaps from over the years.

In her sweet message to Isla, Christine wrote: ‘How are you 13 already @isla.rl what a beautiful young girl you are! I feel very proud to be your step mum. 

‘We love you so much [heart emojis] and thank you @fondant_fleur_cakes for the best cake (not an ad, just showing appreciation)’

One snap was from Christine and Frank’s nuptials in 2015 which saw Isla and her sister Luna act as flower girls for the happy couple, and the quartet posed for a sweet snap after the ceremony.

While another saw Christine and Isla pose for a selfie together while using an Instagram filter that gave them dark red lipstick and chic shades for a stylish look.

In a picture that appeared to be from last Christmas, Frank was the picture of a doting dad as he smiled beside his two daughters during their festive feast. 

Continuing to look back over the years they’ve spent together, Christine also shared a snap of Isla visiting her on set of both Loose Women and This Morning alongside her older sister Luna. 

Although they had to celebrate Isla’s big day in lockdown, Christine and Frank made sure that she had a great party at home by getting her a delectable chocolate cake that was surrounded by an array of sweet treats.

As well as being step-mum to Isla and Luna, Christine also shares 20-month-old daughter Patricia with Frank.

The happy couple first crossed paths at the Pride Of Britain awards in 2009, and Christine has previously said she and Frank were not meant to be at the award show on the night they met.

Speaking on Lorraine in October, Christine said: ‘It’s a strange one, because it is ten years ago that we met at them, it was one of those nights that neither of us were meant to go to.

‘It was a last minute thing for him and I arrived at the awards late because of work. We were sat on tables next to each other.’

Christine added that Piers Morgan got some credit for introducing her to Frank as he ‘did do an introduction’, and joked: ‘He was there at that moment so I can’t actually take that away from him.’

The TV personality went on to gush over Frank’s skills as a father to Patricia, as she praised: ‘He is very good, he has to be directed a little bit, I suppose, but he’s great. He’s so brilliant with her.’
