Never mind to you" leaving the boys in hysterics. When asked if her football manager husband Frank Lampard liked their music, Christine revealed that he belts their tracks on the karaoke machine. Nicky asked: "Is Frank a fan? Does he sing the songs?" Christine joked: "Are you kidding me. Oh my god, i'm not embarrassing him by telling you his karaoke story but let's just say yes, he knows a few words. No one needs to hear that." Christine went on to reveal that she feels that she's been at "every junction of their career from their first interview at BBC Northern Ireland and the band said she was a big part of their 24-year career.
