Frank Lampard And Christine Bleakley Upset Neighbours With House Renovations

Everybody Needs Good Neighbours

Frank Lampard and Christine Bleakley are proving as popular in their neighbourhood as the TV presenter's stint on Daybreak - locals want them out over the footballer's ongoing house renovations.

Despite Chelsea's Champion League victory, Frank is failing to score popularity with residents in the posh London borough due to the lengthy construction work on his luxury pad.

He snapped up the £8m property in the area seven years ago, but his plans to drastically overhaul the house are still ongoing.

Frank has channelled £800,000 into making an underground swimming pool and gym, despite an angry backlash from neighbours who are sick of newcomers causing chaos with ambition building work.

One resident is so mad, he wants the striker to pack up and get out of the neighbourhood, where he and Christine live together.

"If you buy a period property in a historic part of London like this why do you then have to rip its heart out? London is changing for the worse and the council just keeps on giving planning permission willy-nilly."

But there could be good news on the horizon for the locals - the couple is said to be keen to move to sunny LA for the next phase of their careers.

"Frank and Christine have secretly been harbouring this fantasy of moving to America for a while, but nothing concrete was agreed until now."
