Love-split Lamps to sell home

SOCCER ace Frank Lampard has confirmed his split with ex-fiancée Elen Rives by putting their £8.5million townhouse up for sale.

The England and Chelsea midfielder is asking around the same price he paid for the six-bedroom, six-bathroom Georgian property in 2005.

But he will lose a fortune after spending £1million on the semi — just a stone’s throw from Chelsea’s ground Stamford Bridge.

Spanish model Elen had insisted on moving there from their Surrey farmhouse because she felt too distant from London’s party lifestyle. But soon after moving in they were raided by burglars at 4am.

The couple, both 30, were together for seven years but Lamps was TWICE caught with other women. Now they are locked in talks over access rights to their two kids and splitting his £25million fortune.

Frank, on £160,000 a week, has been viewing £2.5million homes on a nearby estate for Elen to move into.
