Christine Bleakley may have had trouble getting to grips with her role on ailing TV show Daybreak, but she had no such problem with new fiance Frank Lampard during a luxury getaway to Majorca.
The pair were joined by Frank's two children from his relationship with Elen Rivas – Luna, five, and four-year-old Isla – and by Frank's father Frank Snr.

They flew to America on a trip thought to have cost £30,000, which saw them visit Las Vegas and Los Angeles, while he’s said to have spent around £120,000 on the engagement ring.
But the Daybreak presenter insisted that the England midfielder’s proposal was ‘not very fancy’.
The 32-year-old footballer got down on one knee after a romantic beach side lunch in LA, which led Bleakley, also 32, to cry for ten minutes.
The couple had been on a two week break, first staying at the Wynn Encore five star luxury resort in Nevada for almost a week, which costs £400 a night, and boasts its own golf course, private cabanas, four pools and a spa.
They then travelled to California and it is understood they stayed at the £350-a-night SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills.
After becoming Lampard’s fiancée, Bleakley called her ITV colleagues Adrian Chiles and Kate Garraway and said: ‘I was beyond shocked. And it wasn’t very glamorous, it wasn’t very fancy - I know some people might expect that.
It was very personal, very private actually, and we were just having a gorgeous lunch by the beach and he simply popped the question, it was completely out of the blue.’
She added: ‘Half-way through the lovey-dovey bit, I realised what he was about to do so I started to cry for about ten minutes and then he pulled the ring out and said ‘Will you marry me?’ and that was it.’
They have not yet set a date for the wedding, but it will be in Northern Ireland, where her family is from.
