Frank Lampard, Christine Bleakley pictured together for first time

Brit footballer Frank Lampard and TV presenter Christine Bleakley were, for the first time, pictured together in Belfast.

Bleakley, 30, had taken Lampard, 31, to her parent's home, and they were later seen laughing raucously in a city centre bar, reports the Mirror.

The two had met at the Mirror's Pride of Britain awards in October and they have been careful since then to keep their dates low-key and avoid being photographed together.
 
Rumours of a romance began to gather pace after they were seen out at a London nightclub.

Bleakley was spotted at a Chelsea home game last month, watching from the stands in the company of TV pal Amanda Holden.
