• Took part in 2008’s Strictly Come Dancing.

  Why we love Christine Bleakley

  Christine Bleakley has got to the top, fast, getting her gig on The One Show after a stint on comparatively unknown programme Let Me Entertain You before that. Since then she’s wowed some judges and got limp shrugs from others on Strictly Come Dancing, and become the subject of an almost-fascinating ‘are they or aren’t they?’ saga with rotund West Bromwich Albion fan Adrian Chiles. In the end, all that she was doing was following him across to ITV to present Daybreak after the Beeb wouldn't pay her enough money. Allegedly.
  She's actually been dating Frank Lampard since 2009, and the pair are now engaged. Christine Bleakley has also turned all charitable, water-skiing across the English Channel for Sport Relief in 2010. How nice of her. She is nice isn't she. And that niceness, which we mentioned twice in the previous sentence is her power. And it has protected her since Daybreak turned out to be a load of old rubbish.
  ITV didn’t cast Christine Bleakley out to the doldrums of the three digit cable channels. They saw her value, and hotness, and employed her on Dancing on Ice. She’s also done a fitness DVD with her equally hot sister, Nicola. ITV are also said to be developing two prime time TV shows just for Christine Bleakley. This is good, she is good. So Frank, here’s a little bit of advice - don’t cheat on her and make her all mad and reclusive, yeah?
