London, Dec 22 : Frank Lampard has been banned by his fiancee Christine Bleakley’s mother from going near birds this Christmas.

According to the WAG, her mum Mina won’t let the professional footballer “anywhere near” the bird when the couple spend Christmas together in her native Northern Ireland this year.

The couple will take a break from work, the TV presenter will present ‘Dancing On Ice’ in the New Year and Lampard will go back to training for his football club Chelsea, to visit Bleakley’s family, but the 33-year-old won’t be allowed to get involved with the cooking.

“My mum will not let Frank anywhere near the turkey,” the Mirror quoted Bleakley as telling BANG Showbiz.

“He’ll be with his feet up in front of the telly, he’ll certainly be enjoying eating it though. She’s a fantastic cook,” she added. (ANI)
