Got some news, Christine? Miss Bleakley flashes a ring on her wedding finger as she rushes out of boyfriend Frank Lampard's house today
Christine Bleakley is a girl who always seems to have a permanent smile on her face.
But that toothy grin of hers seemed even wider today as she left boyfriend Frank Lampard's house - and showed off a huge ring on her wedding finger.
You'd have thought she would have little to smile about after watching her man get dumped out of the World Cup.
But there was no mistaking her happy mood as she and Lampard dashed out of his London home.
The TV presenter, 31, blatantly held up her left hand as she and the 32-year-old footballer rushed passed the waiting photographers into a car.
Perhaps she wanted to make a not-so-subtle announcement about the next step in their relationship.
But chances are she was just having a bit of fun teasing the paparazzi.
Quick exit: Christine - still flashing her ring - runs out of Lampard's London flat, the footballer following close behind
This afternoon, her spokesman denied that she and Lampard were getting married.
Speaking to Mail Online, he said: 'They are not engaged, I can tell you that for definite.
'It's a ring of hers that she has worn loads of times before - she wore it for the Glamour Awards and even at the England-Germany game on Sunday.
Making it obvious: Christine, still holding up that ring finger, hot foots it to Lampard's car
Let's go babe: Hot on his girlfriend's tail, Frank looked like he was in a hurry and wanted to avoid the cameras
'She's just shifted the ring around and put it on another finger.'
Christine did appear to be wearing the same ring as she cheered on Frank and the rest of the England squad during their match against Germany on Sunday.
She had flown out to South Africa for the game, but was back on the plane with Lampard and the rest of the team last night as they flew back into the UK this morning.
Not the best lucky charm: Christine wore the same ring - but on her right hand - as she watched England v Germany in the World Cup on Sunday
Reunited: England skipper Steven Gerrard and his wife Alex Curran were back together again as they lunched in Southport today. She had stayed at home while his team let the nation down in South Africa

Katie Holmes and daughter Suri go strawberry picking in Ontario as actress takes a break from role as Jackie Kennedy
By Mail Online Reporter
Day out: Katie Holmes takes a break from filming mini-series The Kennedys to go strawberry picking with daughter Suri
They are often photographed tucking into sweet delights such as cupcakes and brownies.
But Katie Holmes and daughter Suri decided to go for something a bit more healthy in Ontario, Canada, yesterday, and went strawberry picking on a local farm.
Katie, who is currently in the Canadian province filming TV mini-series The Kennedys, in which she is playing Jackie Kennedy, took a break from filming to spend some time with her four-year-old daughter.
Huge load: Katie struggles to carry four-year-old Suri and a huge bag of strawberries as she leaves Whittamore's Farm in Ontario
While Katie's husband Tom Cruise is busy promoting his new movie Knight And Day, Katie and Suri decided to make the most of the local Ontario sights during their time in Canada.
But, slightly detracting from the healthy aspect of picking your own fruit, Suri was spotted enjoying a pot of ice cream as she and Katie left Whittamore's Farm carrying a bag full of strawberries.
And strawberries weren't the only thing that Katie, who was dressed casually in a green checked shirt, skinny jeans and brown biker-style boots, was carrying - she also struggled to hold four-year-old Suri in her other arm.
Yummy! Suri enjoys a pot of ice cream as she and Katie leave the farm after a successful day out picking the juicy fruits
Earlier this month, Katie was spotted researching her role as Jackie Kennedy by reading One Special Summer, an autobiographical-style book written by Jackie and illustrated with the former First Lady's own drawings.
The mini-series, which also stars Greg Kinnear, is due to be broadcast on The History Channel in the U.S. in 2011.
Jackie Kennedy, widely considered to have been one of the most beautiful and stylish women in the world, later married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and died of cancer in 1994.

Jamie and Louise Redknapp distract themselves from England's World Cup defeat by sunbathing in Italy
By Georgina Littlejohn
Distraction time: Jamie and Louise Redknapp soak up the sun on holiday in Sardinia, Italy, following World Cup disappointment for England
It was certainly a difficult 90 minutes to sit through.
So it was no surprise that Jamie and Louise Redknapp decided to distract themselves from England's humiliating World Cup defeat today by making the most of the sunshine in Italy.
The pair spent the day relaxing with friends in Sardinia, while Jamie attempted to cheer himself up after England lost to Germany 4-1 by reading Andre Agassi's autobiography.
While Jamie, 37, got stuck into the bestseller, his former pop star wife Louise, 35, adjusted her black and white striped bikini to ensure the optimal tan as she basked in the warm sunshine.
The former Triumph underwear model showed off her enviable figure in the triangle bikini, and shielded her eyes from the rays with a pair of trendy white aviator sunglasses.
It was recently reported that Louise is in the running to replace fellow WAG Christine Bleakley on The One Show, after Bleakley decided to make the move from the BBC to ITV to reunite with co-host Adrian Chiles.
Louise has already shown she has the skills to cut it as a presenter, as she has been fronting Something For The Weekend alongside Tim Lovejoy since January.
Sun worshipper: Louise adjusts her bikini as she gets ready to soak up some rays on her lounger
But for the moment, Louise is enjoying some time with her husband in Italy.
At one point, proving that they have one of the strongest marriages in football, Jamie teased his wife and made her laugh by pulling her along on her lounger.
Jamie and Louise have been married for 12 years and have two sons, five-year-old Charley and 18-month-old Beau.
Sunning herself: Louise, wearing a black and white bikini, makes the most of the strong Italian sunshine
Stop it! Louise giggles as Jamie pulls her along on her sunlounger
Speaking in a recent interview, Louise said: 'I think I've just got to that stage in life where no matter what happens to me, I've got these two amazing little men in my life.
'I'm just so happy. But I never take it for granted.'

That's better! Britney Spears is all smiles as she heads off for a romantic break
By Daily Mail Reporter
Feeling better: Britney Spears only had eyes for boyfriend Jason Trawick as they headed off to Palm Springs for a romantic weekend
Smiling up at her boyfriend, it looks like Britney Spears couldn't be happier.
In recent weeks the singer's pre-occupied and worried demeanour has had fans speculating that she may once again be on a downward spiral.
But it seemed that whatever has been on Britney's mind was resolved as she headed off on a romantic weekend with Jason Trawick.
America's Star magazine recently reported that Trawick had been carrying on a long-term affair with an actress named Jessica Steindorff.
Trawick reportedly met Steindorff when she worked as his personal assistant at William Morris back in 2007.
Meanwhile, Britney was recently accused of sexual harassment by her ex-bodyguard Fernando Flores, a claim her camp calls 'stupid'.
All smiles: The pair stopped for one of Britney's favourite iced coffees
But Britney and Trawick only had eyes for each other as they stopped for one of Britney's favourite iced coffees on their way to a retreat in Palm Springs today.
Walking hand-in-hand they shared a private joke, laughing as they spotted photographers.
Britney, 28, wore a vibrant orange sundress and heels, but kept it casual with one of Jason's shirts worn over the top.
Cover up: Britney slipped on one of her boyfriend's shirts over her orange dress
And while the look was off-duty, it was a tidier Britney than has been seen for weeks.
The previous day Britney had watched with pride as her young sons Sean Preston and Jayden James joined their pre-school classes in a graduation ceremony at a Los Angeles High School.
Her ex-husband Kevin Federline, with whom she shares custody, was also in attendance.

Girls (not) Aloud: Sarah Harding gets the giggles after going into the men's toilets at Hard Rock Calling
By Sarah Bull
No Girls Aloud! Sarah Harding makes the mistake of going into the men's toilets at Hard Rock Calling
It was a case of Girls most definitely not Aloud at Hard Rock Calling today when Sarah Harding tried to go into the men's toilets.
The 28-year-old singer collapsed into a fit of giggles after she was spotted making the embarrassing mistake at the event in London's Hyde Park.
Wearing a white vest top with a dinosaur image and the slogan 'Where You Been?' teamed with denim hotpants, Sarah was suitably dressed for the 27C heat at the event, and made sure she stayed hydrated by carrying a bottle of beer.
Hysterics: She can't control herself after realising her embarrasing mistake
While things have been a bit quiet for Sarah on the Girls Aloud front, the star insists she has many other plans for the future that do not revolve around the band.
She said recently: 'I'm having lots of meeting about things that are in the pipeline for later in the year.
'I invest in property too. I've got to make sure I secure my future. I do have a business head on my shoulders despite what people think.'
Trendy: Sarah looked trendy in a dinosaur print top and denim hotpants
Sarah made the decision to shun perhaps the most famous music event of the weekend - Glastonbury in Somerset - to attend Hard Rock Calling.
But she was in good company, with performances from Jamiroquai Pearl Jam and The Hives.
Nice hat! Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay performed on Day 2 of the festival
Stunning: Corinne Bailey Rae also made an appearance, looking beautiful in a midnight blue jumpsuit
Sir Paul McCartney will make an appearance at the festival tomorrow, after making the decision to stream his gig live on YouTube to raise money for the Born HIV Free charity.
In a statement, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the charity's Global Fund Ambassador, said: 'I want to thank Paul McCartney for donating this performance for the Born HIV Free campaign.
'Through this live stream, we share our common belief in a world where all children can be born free from HIV.'

Beckhams forced to deny 'split' following internet rumours
By Donna Mcconnell and Sara Nathan
Not splitting any time soon: David and Victoria Beckham's representatives have denied they are planning to split
A Twitter posting claiming David and Victoria Beckham were about to split has forced the couple's representatives to deny the rumour.
Frank PR managing director Andrew Bloch posted this on the social networking site: 'I am hearing from a number of sources that Victoria and David Beckham are due to announce their separation in a few hours.'
But the A-list couple's publicists moved swiftly to deny the claims dismissing them as 'nonsense'.
Simon Oliviera, David Beckham's long-time publicist, then tweeted Bloch saying: 'Didn't know you were the new Perez Hilton. I think I would be aware of that, utter nonsense.
'Have a word with your sources.'
Bloch, who has since pointed out that his posting was personal, not work-related, later updated his Twitter page to say: 'I have confirmation direct from Team Beckham that the separation rumour is "utter nonsense". Very good news indeed.'
But the damage was already done, with several websites and blogs repeating the rumour.
Bloch told the Daily Mail tonight: 'I was just re-tweeting what everyone else had been saying, when all of a sudden I got a message from my friend Simon Oliviera saying it was rubbish.
'I was more than pleased to put up a denial. I am so sorry for any problems that were caused.
'This really does go to show just how fast a Twitter rumour can spread - and the power of Twitter.'
Premature: The posting on Twitter which started the rumours of the Beckhams splitting up, and the clarification update
A spokesman for David Beckham, who is currently in South Africa in an advisory role with the England football team. told Mail Online: 'The rumours are utter rubbish and not worth your time.'
And Victoria's spokeswoman said: 'It is simply not true, there is no statement and no split, it's all just nonsense.'
While Victoria was today on a photoshoot, a source close to the singer-turned-fashion designer told the Mail: 'Victoria knows nothing about this yet. It is all so ridiculous.'
The former England football captain and ex-Spice Girl wed in July 1999 and have three children together - Brooklyn Joseph, 11, Romeo James, seven, and Cruz David, five.
The couple have weathered some difficult times after it was alleged Beckham had an affair with his former PA, Rebecca Loos, in 2004.
We are family: Victoria and David Beckham with their sons Cruz and Romeo at the Jonas Brothers concert in Los Angeles last month
Beckham and Victoria have not been seen together since they attended a Jonas brothers concert together in Los Angeles with their children in May.
Together, they have created 'Brand Beckham', with advertising and sponsorship deals and product endorsements contributing to their joint fortune, which was last year estimated to have reached £125million.
While Beckham was previously considered to be the most successful one in the marriage, Victoria has made a name for herself as a fashion designer - with her sophisticated clothes worn by celebrities including Elle Macpherson, Leighton Meester and Emma Bunton.

Tyra Banks looks fierce and fit in gangster garb as she films America's Next Top Model on Rodeo Drive
By Mail Online Reporter
Gangsta cool: Tyra Banks channels her inner bad girl as she films scenes for America's Next Top Model on Rodeo Drive, Los Angeles yesterday afternoon with co-host Jay Emanuel
Tyra Banks showcased curves in all the right places as she filmed scenes for her hit show America's Next Top Model in Los Angeles yesterday.
The supermodel turned media mogul was joined by her co-host Jay Emanuel as they filmed a dance themed model shoot on posh Rodeo Drive.
Tyra displayed her hourglass figure to full effect in tight high waisted pinstripe trousers, a black shirt and checked tie.
Picture perfect: Tyra looked in model form as she worked a dance themed photo shoot
Banks topped off her ganster inspired outfit with black stilettos and a cute straw Fedora hat.
Pictures surfaced of Banks back in 2007 showing her looking a lot heavier than in her Victoria's Secret modeling hayday.
Tabloids lambasted Banks with headlines such as 'America's Next Top Waddle' and 'Tyra Porkchop'.
Banks fired back in an interview with People. Appearing on the cover in a red swimsuit and proudly announcing her weight at 161 lbs, Tyra declared that she had 'never felt hotter'.
'I get so much mail from young girls that say "I look up to you, you're not as skinny as everyone else, I think you're beautiful,"' she told the magazine. 'So when they say my body is "ugly" and "disgusting" what does that make those girls feel like?'
As for her own weight, which at that time was 30lbs heavier than when she landed on the cover of Sport's Illustrated swimsuit issue in 1997, Banks said: 'I still feel hot but every day is different.
Weight change: Tyra modeling during a 2003 Victoria's Secret show and then pictured looking heavier in 2007 - in an interview with People magazine Banks claimed to have gained 30lbs
'It's when I put on the jeans that fit a year ago and don't fit now, and give me the muffin top, that's when I say "damn!"'
But despite her battle of the bulge Banks is all about the importance of body confidence and loving your figure no matter what size.
Banks has even included plus sized girls on her model search show.
However, she's not above admitting she would be first in line if somebody invented a miracle cure for the scourge of all modern women - cellulite.
'I think every woman would love to do something about their cellulite,' she said.

Kerry Katona gets in the summer mood in cute strapless dress as she visits the beauty salon
By Georgina Littlejohn
Summery: In a cute, strapless summer dress, Kerry Katona looked happy as she left a beauty salon
Kerry Katona is a girl that even when the chips are down can still raise a smile.
And today was no exception as she displayed a sunny disposition that perfectly matched the soaring summer temperatures.
The reality TV star looked the picture of health as she left a beauty salon in West Sussex this afternoon.
And the 29-year-old showed off her new slimline figure in a cute, strapless floral dress which she teamed with chic gold sandals.
She looked in a bit of a hurry as she clutched her car keys in one hand and a bag of beauty goodies from the Bliss spa in the other and smiled at the cameras as she left.
And if her fears over a revealing documentary about her to be aired on Channel 4 tonight were on her mind, they certainly didn't show on her face.
Must dash: Kerry looked like she was in a hurry as she left the beauty salon
The programme, entitled Kerry and Me, as filmed in February this year when Kerry was at her lowest and shows her slurring and shouting at her children alongside her estranged husband Mark Croft.
And she's said to be terrified that this will remind everyone of the 'old Kerry', just as she's trying to get her life back on track.
After he split from Croft, 39, she left her home in Warrington, Cheshire, and moved south to West Sussex after signing up with Peter Andre's management team, Can Associates.
On my way: Kerry dashes out of the salon and texts a friend en route
They allegedly tried to stop the film being aired but the documentary is still set to be screened tonight on C4 at 10pm.
Claire Powell told the Mail: 'The reason we were trying to stop the documentary being screened is because Kerry only signed a release form but she did not sign a contract.'
Kerry also has a new man in her life, painter and decorater Adam Waldron, 33, who this week was spotted out and about with her as she filmed another reality TV series under her new management to portray her ‘new clean-cut image'.
Happy again: Kerry and her new boyfriend Adam Walton share a joke while out together this week
But today, Croft revealed today that he is planning on writing a tell-all book about their marriage.
According to the Daily Star, Kerry will take legal action if the former cab driver goes ahead.
A source told the newspaper: Mark has sold story after story on her and she thought it had got to the point where he had nothing left to say.
'She's already got the worry of the documentary, now she's terrified the book will trash her too.'

Hilary was proudly wearing her 14-carat Princess-cut engagement ring - reported to have cost a cool $1 million.
Her Edmonton Oilers player fiancé followed closely behind her as she strode confidently into the gym, her skin tight charcoal grey leggings showcasing her sculpted legs.

The So Yesterday songstress is yet to pick out a wedding gown, but says: ‘I want it to be traditional. I don’t want it to be too big and overwhelming, because I’m so small. A big dress would make me look like a big cupcake!’

The 5,260 square-foot property boasts five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms and a pool.

Salma Hayek the sexy senorita shows off her killer curves in two different outfits
By Daily Mail Reporter
Flaunting her curves: Salma Hayek shows off two very different but equally beautiful outfits while promoting her new movie Grown Ups this week
Salma Hayek appears determined to win a few olés on the promotional trail for her latest movie.
She flaunted her incredible curves as she arrived for the New York premiere of Grown Ups in a summery cream strapless dress and sky-high red heels.
The previous night, the 43-year-old wore a very revealing black leather top which showed off her famous curves for an interview with Jimmy Fallon.
Hayek made an appearance on his TV show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, to plug the film, in which she stars alongside Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Rob Schneider, Chris Rock and David Spade.
The movie is about a group of high school friends who reunite as adults after their basketball coach dies.
But rather than fashion and film, the actress was more interested in talking about her other passion - football.
Flaunting her curves: Salma Hayek appeared on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to promote her new film Grown Ups
Viva Mexico! Salma is a hardcore Mexico FC supporter, much to the dislike of her husband, Francois-Henri Pinault
She was revelling in France's early departure from the World Cup after their loss to her team, Mexico.
'I am a huge soccer fan,' said Hayek, who is married to French businessman Francois-Henri Pinaul, 46.
Hot mamma: Salma's body bounced back after giving birth to daughter Valentina two years ago
'It was a bit of a sticky subject. When he [husband Francois-Henri Pinault] came home from work I had decorated the whole house Mexican. There were Mexican flags everywhere and I invited all my Mexican friends.'
'We were all really loud and after we won all the French people went home and we stayed up and partied and he couldn't get to sleep.'
'We kept going with the tequila - he was like 'Where am I? I thought I was in Paris!'
The Frida actress said she was keeping positive about Mexico's next game against Argentina on June 27th.
'Now we have to play against Argentina, its really difficult, they're probably the best team in the World Cup.
'The Virgin of Guadalupe must be so busy right now with all the Mexicans praying - we need a miracle - but we can do it.'
The Mexican beauty married her French husband on Valentines Day 2009 in Paris, where they now live full time.
They have a daughter together, Valentina Paloma Pinault, who is two and a half.
Salma shot to fame in the 1995 Robert Rodriguez directed film Desperado, alongside Antonia Banderas.
Her most notable performance was in the 2002 biopic Frida, in which she played Frida Kahlo, the Mexican communist painter.
She was nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and a SAG award for her portrayal of the character.

It's Posh in Boots as Victoria Beckham flaunts thigh-high legwear at fashion dinner in London
By Georgina Littlejohn
Posh in Boots: Victoria Beckham arrives at the Diane Von Furstenberg Dinner at Claridge's in London in stunning thigh-high boots
We've not seen much of Victoria Beckham lately.
But in true Posh Spice style, she made her grand entrance back in front of the cameras tonight as she arrived at a fashion event in London.
Mrs Beckham 36, looked absolutely stunning in a short, strapless Giles Deacon leather dress and thigh-high boots that made her legs appear to go on forever.
The former Spice Girl arrived at a launch party for fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg at Claridge's.
The event was held to launch Von Furstenberg's rooms and suites that she has designed for the central London hotel.
And while she was happy to take centre stage in front of the cameras, Victoria was more than happy to share the limelight with Dasha Zhukova, 29, girlfriend of Chelsea FC boss Roman Abramovich.

Despite her millions, Posh knows when something looks good on her and isn't afraid to recycle her wardrobe.
It was the same black dress she wore for an LG mobile phone advertising campaign this year, which she did with Desperate Housewives friend Eva Longoria.
And she is clearly a big fan of the British fashion designer, having worn the same design, but in peach, silver and black.
Same dress, different day: Posh first wore the black, strapless leather dress for an LG phone campaign this year - and she has it in orange, silver and black
Hours before the Claridge's bash, Victoria was probably glued to her TV watching the England game just like the rest of the nation.
Husband David is out there with the squad and watched the crunch match from the bench, his look of sheer delight when Jermain Defoe scored all too clear to see.
David, 35, is planning to join his wife and their three boys - Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 7, and five-year-old Cruz - in St. Tropez when England’s World Cup campaign finishes.
Get in! Beckham claps his hands as he celebrates with England manager Fabio Capello (grey suit) after Jermain Defoe's goal against Slovenia in the World Cup today

Who'd have thought Hollyoaks would pay so well? Gemma Merna hits the gym in her brand new £100k Mercedes
By Mail Online Reporter
Ticket to ride: Hollyoaks actress Gemma Merna with her new Mercedes SL 63 AMG in Liverpool
Hollyoaks actors may be accused of lacking in talent - and the show's producers clearly have a preference for good-looking cast members.
But, regardless of its merits as a television drama, Hollyoaks stars seem to be reaping the rewards of their jobs.
Gemma Merna is a case in point. The actress, 25, drove to the gym yesterday in her new car, a Mercedes SL 63 AMG - worth a cool £100,000.
Flash motor: Gemma puts the roof down on her eye-catching motor for maximum exposure
Bit of all white: The 25-year-old spent the day in the new £100k car - visiting the gym and picking up some food from Nando's
Gemma, who plays Carmel Valentine in the show, took herself for a workout in Liverpool in the flash white version of the car.
She arrived in her gym gear, which consisted of a white Nike vest top, pink shorts and a pair of cross trainers.
After her fitness session Gemma made her way to popular eaterie Nando's.
Fit as a fiddle: Gemma hit the gym wearing a white vest and pink shorts
The actress wore very little make-up and had changed into a comfy-looking pair of velour tracksuit bottoms with a matching black top and pink flip-flops.
The low-fat Portuguese-inspired food would have been a perfect post-gym meal.
Gemma has not only become one of Hollyoaks' more popular female actresses, but thanks to her cosmetically enhanced chest, she has modelled in a variety of men's magazines.
Post-gym meal: The actress headed to celeb favourite Nando's after her workout
With titles such as Zoo and Nuts constantly trying to outbid each other to secure the most popular female personalities, her modelling work has no doubt been a very lucrative addition to her acting.
Last week she attended a leaving party for fellow Hollyoaks actress Melissa Walton, who plays Loretta Jones in the C4 soap.
Speaking recently about her sudden exit, Melissa revealed that plans for her character were thrown into jeopardy when her storyline clashed with a real-life story in the press and as a result Channel 4 bosses were forced to pull it.
She said: 'I’m very pleased with my exit, you know. I’m very, very pleased with what I’ve been given and I’ve really enjoyed doing it.
'I’ve probably enjoyed the last few months of filming more than I’ve enjoyed anything else that I’ve done.'
