The One Show presenter Christine Bleakley, new girlfriend of Frank Lampard, received hundreds of texts and calls from the public after her personal contact number was given out on the national television. She was swamped with uncountable numbers of voicemails and text messages after she wrote her mobile number down for guest Patrick Kielty. Kielty then took that noted number paper and held it up in front of the camera.
Patrick Kielty worked with Bleakley when she was a TV runner. He is recently thought to have been playing a prank on Bleakley.
According to The Mirror. “Within 10 minutes of the show ending [Christine's] phone had over 300 voicemails and messages.”
The paper also quoted, “Most of them were very nice, supportive and even flirty, but it’s a disaster for someone high-profile like Christine to give out her number.”
As of now Bleakley has blocked the number and has switched on to a new number.
