Christine Lampard shares her secret 'she shed' she uses to hide from the kids
Christine Lampard revealed she hides from her children in a 'she shed' when she needs a little bit of 'me-time'.
The ITV presenter, 44, found the ultimate place in the garden to enjoy some calm and quiet when she wants to get away from her children Patricia, four, and Freddie, two - who she shares with her husband Frank Lampard. She said: "There’s very, very few hiding places in our house – it used to be the loo, but you can open the doors from the other side anyway.
“So everyone’s figured out how to do that and my two-year-old just goes, 'mummy!' – [and then] unclick… But, weirdly, we bought this little shed recently to put all the gardening bits in and all the muck that you don’t want in the house." Speaking to her Loose Women co-stars, she explained how she first realised it was the perfect spot.
"It’s tiny but I walked into it the other day and thought, ‘this could be a good hiding place' – even just a little five minutes. And nobody’s interested in it because it’s just the shed – but I could convert it and no one would even know.”

Along with her two children with Frank, she is also stepmum to Frank’s daughters, Isla, 16, and Luna, 17. The TV presenter said: “Being part of a blended family is lovely. I don’t remember life before it now. When I first met Isla and Luna, they were two and four – now they’re 16 and almost 18, and have just taken their GCSEs and A Levels.
"They’ll call us and say: ‘We’re coming around tonight.’ They’ll jump on the train and come over. Life is always busy, but we all manage somehow, don’t we? Mine is ‘two children busy’. Freddie has just turned two, so he’s a whirlwind. The two of them are funny and wonderful and exhausting. I think they’ve sapped every bit of energy from me, but it’s worth it.”
Despite looking happy and relaxed on screen, Christine suffers from anxiety. She said: “I’m not positive all the time. I have flat days like everyone else, but I take the little wins, which is what my mum taught me.
“She also used to say: ‘Your health is your wealth.’ We didn’t go on flashy holidays abroad like my friends did, but I look back on my early childhood as such a happy time because I was brought up feeling grateful for small things. If the little things are good, so much happiness can come from them.”
