Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha apologised to Christine Lampard before sharing the humorous reason why Frank Lampard would be her husband of choice

Nadia Sawalha named Frank Lampard as her co-star’s husband she’d choose to marry

Nadia Sawalha has revealed she prefers her Loose Women co-star Christine Lampard’s wedding ring to her own, and is often “distracted” by the eye-grabbing sparkler.

On the latest instalment of ‘Loose Women—The Podcast,’ which focused on body confidence, loveless marriages and husband’s crushes, Nadia and her co-star Judi Love shared their honest thoughts.

During the podcast, Judi relayed a question from a listener named Mary, who was curious to know which co-star’s husband they would each marry if they had to choose.

Before revealing her answer, Nadia apologised to Christine in advance, then humorously confessed that it’s not Frank Lampard she covets, but rather the stunning ring he gave to Christine.

She confessed: “I’m sorry. Maybe I shouldn’t say this. Okay, Christine Lampard’s ring is really, really nice and my ring is not. That ring. I mean, honestly…sometimes, it distracts me.”

Her co-star weighed in, adding: “Babes, I can’t, like… it does get me and Frankie’s [Bridge], yeah.”

Nadia quipped in response: “So, what is the name of our husbands again? But the ring.”

Judi continued, giving a nod to Frank’s good taste: “The ring; the ring is the one. He is lovely, though.”

Frank tied the knot with Christine in 2015, six years after they crossed paths at the Pride of Britain Awards.

The couple share two children, Patricia and Freddie, while Frank also has two daughters from a previous relationship.

Their romance, however, had a somewhat “awkward” beginning.

Previously speaking on Loose Women, Christine said that Frank initially impressed her by claiming he watched her on The One Show and even remembered the guest from the night before.

“There was an awkward introduction at the party afterwards,” she added. “I just laughed and we both giggled about it. Then that was it. He somehow got my number, and I had a withheld number call my phone on the way home. I picked up and it was him.

“I said ‘Wow, you’re keen!’ as a bit of a joke, and we chatted, and he said he enjoyed meeting me and would like to stay in touch. It was very relaxed.”

Meanwhile, Nadia tied the knot with Mark Adderley back in 2002 while expecting their daughter, Maddie. In 2024, she candidly spoke to Hello! about her husband’s battle with bipolar II disorder and depression.

“It breaks my heart when he tells me how sad he is because I adore him and it feels so unfair. But it’s also much better in the long run to know the truth,” Nadia expressed.

On Instagram, Mark has shared insights into his battle with alcohol abuse and his mental health struggles before getting sober. He shared a photo of himself with Maddie alongside the caption: “This was me at my most chaotic, out of control and sad.”

Nadia replied to her film producer husband, saying she was “so proud” of him. She added that he’s a “f***ing incredible husband and father” and that she would love him “now and beyond this mortal world.”
