Life Before Loose: Christine on growing up in Northern Ireland to Strictly success and TV stardom

Christine found herself in the hot seat on Wednesday as we took a trip down memory lane to look back at her Life Before Loose.

Coleen, Judi and Brenda fired off many questions to find out all about Christine's early life and career.

She opened up on her childhood growing up in Northern Ireland during ‘The Troubles’, and how this led to her becoming quite an anxious child who worried about her dad. She also shared how her career in TV fstarted when she become a floor manager.

From her first appearance on ‘The One Show’ to becoming a household name with the one call phone call that changed everything, Christine reminisced on her rise to fame (and, of course, her first ever Loose Women appearance!). Moving on from her career, Christine also shared how her romantic relationship with now husband, Frank Lampard, flourished.
