Christine Bleakley: Girls who want to be WAGs make me despair

Christine Bleakley says youngsters need more ambition

Christine Bleakley has been dating Frank Lampard, 32, since October 2009

Christine Bleakley may be loved-up with Chelsea football star Frank Lampard, but she still hates the fact that so many young women aspire to be WAGs.

'I recall in despair the various surveys done over recent years revealing young girls' ambitions,' says Christine, 32.

'Be famous or get famous by marrying someone famous seems to be as far as ambition goes.

'Ideally, marry a footballer and that's your life sorted.

'I may be lumped into the latter category by some but I'm proud to say I've worked hard for anything I have.

'I've always been adamant that I don't need a man to buy me a handbag.'

And Irish beauty Christine, who presents ITV's morning show Daybreak, says she has her parents to thank for her successful career.

'They instilled the hard work ethic in me,' she writes in the Daily Mirror.

'Maybe that's what these girls are lacking.'
