Meeting Frank Lampard's sisters was always going to be a tough test for new girlfriend Christine Bleakley, but it appears she passed with flying colours.

The One Show host is said to have won over his two older siblings after the Chelsea star took them all along to the Beyonce gig at London's O2 Arena last week.

Frank is known to be particularly close to Natalie and Claire, especially since losing his mother Pat last year.

A source told the Sun: 'It was incredibly important to him that his sisters gave him their blessing.

'It all went really well and they told Frank they thought Christine was lovely and perfect for him.'

Christine, 30, tentatively confirmed the romance last week, but added: ‘When you start seeing someone and it’s early days, you need to get to know them a bit before you come out and say you’re dating.’

The 30-year-old and Frank, 31, were first introduced by Piers Morgan at the ITV1 Pride Of Britain awards on October 2 and are now said to be smitten with one another.

They've enjoyed dates at a Harvester restaurant in North London and the Hollywood Arms in Chelsea.

He has bought her a necklace with her name on it and a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes, according to sources, and she has promised to teach him to dance.

Miss Bleakley broke up with fiancé Mark Beirne, 35, in January.

Lampard split up last year with Spanish fiancée Elen Rives, 34, with whom he has two daughters, four-year-old Luna and Isla, two.

He was likely feeling sorry for himself after sustaining a thigh injury in Doha, but was Frank Lampard comforted by Christine Bleakley on his return to London last night?

The glamorous One Show presenter was spotted leaving the footballer's Chelsea home late on Friday night.

She was accompanied by a close friend of the midfielder who had been seen dining with him earlier that evening.

He escorted her around the corner from the west London property to her brand new car parked a short distance away.

The sighting adds fresh fuel to rumours that the pair are enjoying a secret romance.

They were first spotted flirting together at London nightclub Amika two weeks ago, and just last weekend were seen leaving Whisky Mist together.

Onlookers said the pair were getting 'very close' as they sat together in the VIP section of the exclusive club.

Lampard and Bleakley were first linked last month when they were spotted chatting together at the Pride of Britain Awards on October 5.

The pair have spent most of this year being single following high-profile splits from their respective partners.

Lampard's fiancée Elen Rives, 34, ended the couple's stormy seven-year relationship earlier this year.

Bleakley also split from ex-boyfriend Mark Beirne, 35, in January after two years together
