Look at that! Now you're talking Christine." Andi proceeded to put their padlock on the bridge with the permanent marker finish of Christine's initials.However, the lock won't look entirely out of place as many people purchase the locks and write their names or initials with a permanent marker too.Christine was definitely happy to be back on screens while Lorraine is taking some deserved time away and relaxing during the half term.
