Christine Lampard has made an admission about her husband Frank while on Loose Women. The TV host was back on the panel for another round of the daytime show, where her footballer husband became a topic of discussion.
The panel delved into Frank's intelligence, questioning if Newtownards woman Christine is as smart as her spouse. This came up after it was disclosed that Frank had once taken an IQ test and scored exceptionally high.
"When he was playing at Chelsea, they made all of the players do an IQ test. It was actually just a foundation kind of IQ measurement in case there was a head injury playing the sport, so they could do another test later on," Christine shared with her co-stars.

She confessed: "He completed smashed it. He did brilliantly in it. Some big high score. Mensa almost picking up the phone!"
Denise Welch, Christine's co-star, then mentioned Frank's GCSE results, stating she'd previously learned that he achieved an A* in Latin and finished the qualification a year ahead of his classmates.
"Yes he's got an A* in Latin," Christine confirmed, playfully rolling her eyes. "I am joking. He is good at working things out. I understand why he does well on these kind of tests", reports the Mirror.
Frank, who is now the head coach at Coventry City FC, has an IQ of 150, putting him in the top one to two percent of the country. He has previously opened up about taking the test during his time at Chelsea, revealing the opportunity arose after his team mate John Terry suffered concussion in 2007.
He told the Coventry Telegraph : "I just breezed it. I was at Chelsea and it was in the aftermath of JT getting kicked in the head in the Carabao Cup final. Our doctor, who was Brian English at the time, made us do IQ tests to get us a base level of IQ so we could be registered again if you have a concussion or a head injury."
Asked about his high score, he said: "Other people were more interested in it than me, to be fair. I'm quite proud of it. It just beat my wife, Christine, which was the best thing about it. She was just below me. I don't know the exact numbers. I think she's around the same."
