Footballer Frank Lampard and Daybreak presenter Christine Bleakley have confirmed their engagement.

The England and Chelsea star is said to have popped the question to Christine while they were enjoying a romantic dinner in California, where they are currently on holiday.

Frank's agent Steve Kuttner said:

"I am pleased to say that Christine Bleakley has accepted Frank Lampard's surprise engagement proposal here in Los Angeles.

"They are obviously both delighted but there are no immediate wedding plans, and the couple will not be making any further comment on this happy and private occasion."

Bleakley, 32, and Lampard jetted away after England's disappointing 2-2 draw against Switzerland last week.

Lampard has two young daughters with his ex-fianc, Spanish model Elen Rivas, Luna and Isla.

The couple split back in November 2008 after seven years together.
