Christine Bleakley says she is firm believer in power of laughter

London, Jan 31 (ANI): Christine Bleakley says that laughter is very important, especially in times of stress and in her relationship with Frank Lampard.

She met the Chelsea footballer in 2009 and they got engaged 15 June 2011. Lampard has two daughters from his relationship with Spanish model Elen Rivas - Luna, six, and Isla, four.

"Laughter is the best medicine, especially in times of stress. Last week I had terrible food poisoning from eating a dodgy prawn sandwich. Frank was joking about me being a really bad patient and I'd have a fit of giggles," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

"I thought 'Here I am, in pain, and he is managing to make me laugh.' That's a good sign. Laughter is such an important part of a relationship. It's what first attracted me to him," she said. (ANI)
