Shortly after getting engaged back in 2011, Christine revealed that she began to cry even before Frank popped the question during their holiday to Los Angeles. Speaking to her former Daybreak colleagues Adrian Chiles and Kate Garraway, the presenter shared: "I was beyond shocked. It wasn't very glamorous, it wasn't very fancy. It was very personal, very private, actually."

"We were just having a gorgeous lunch by the beach and he simply popped the question," she continued. "It was completely out of the blue and he was starting to build up to it and it was a little bit lovey-dovey. Halfway through the lovey-dovey bit I realised what he was about to say and I started to cry."
