First the wedding, then a new life across the Atlantic: Frank Lampard and Christine Bleakley in 'transfer to Tinseltown'

Dancing On Ice TV presenter Christine Bleakley and her England footballer fiance Frank Lampard are planning a new life in Los Angeles after their wedding this summer.

Chelsea player Frank, 33, is rumoured to be considering following David Beckham to LA Galaxy, while Christine is ‘confident’ of landing a US job.

The couple will head to Tinseltown this spring to decide whether they want to live there.

Moving across the pond? Christine Bleakley and her England footballer fiance Frank Lampard are planning a new life in Los Angeles after their wedding this summer

‘They love LA and the trip in May is about testing the water to see if they could make it their home. They are very open to the idea,’ says a friend.

Christine and Frank became engaged on a holiday in LA last June and are due to marry in Christine’s homeland, Northern Ireland.

Although Lampard’s agent has denied a move to LA Galaxy is on the cards, sources close to the England midfielder say he has been speaking to David Beckham about a possible move. Becks has himself just signed a new two-year deal at LA Galaxy.

‘Frank and Christine have secretly been harbouring this fantasy of moving to America for a while, but nothing concrete was agreed until now,’ says the friend. ‘They are flying to LA after Christine finishes the current series of Dancing On Ice and Frank has some time free between matches so they can check out possible job offers.’

Christine, 32, has a deal with ITV for two other shows and a spokesman insists she has no plans to leave, adding: ‘She is enjoying Dancing On Ice and looking forward to new projects.’

But sources say the couple would not think twice about relocating if Frank is offered a multi-million-dollar deal to play for LA Galaxy once his contract with Chelsea expires in 2013.

‘Christine is confident she could get a good gig in the US and has already made some crucial contacts,’ says the friend. ‘They are really excited at the possibility.’
