Christine Bleakley was clearly on cloud nine when she stepped out from The Arts Club in London with her new husband Frank Lampard on Monday. Having tied the knot the day before, the TV presenter naturally opted for an elegant knee-length dress in white. She matched the figure-hugging number with a pair of chic heels, a gold handbag and, of course, her sparkling wedding band, which sat comfortably alongside her engagement ring. Her beautiful bouquet was the finishing accessory.

The couple are thought to have stayed overnight at the exclusive Arts Club hotel on Sunday night after celebrating their wedding reception there following their wonderful winter ceremony St Paul's Church in Knightsbridge. It was an emotional day for all, not least the football star groom.

"He also revealed that the sportsman's two daughters gave emotional tributes in the ceremony and at the reception. Piers recalled: "I said a few words, I was asked to because I was there when they met at the Pride of Britain Awards with Frank and Pietersen."
For the nuptials, the 36-year-old donned a breathtaking wedding dress featuring intricate lace embroidery on the sleeves and corset, set off with pretty pearl embellishments. The princess-like creation was cinched at the waist, before falling to the floor in a dramatic sweep of gauze.
Christine and Frank said "I do" on Sunday after six years together and four engaged.
