Christine Bleakley puts her best foot forward at Olympic website launch in a pair of 5 1/2 inch heels

After weeks in a wet suit for her water-skiing training, Christine Bleakley is revelling the chance to show her glamorous side again.

Just 10 days after she successfully crossed the English Channel on water-skis, the 31-year-old presenter was looking chic in a pair of tottering high heels in London this morning.

Arriving to launch the new Olympics 2012 tickets website, the One Show host was sporting a £140 pair of Kurt Geiger 'Eleanoir' heels, which boasted a 5.5 inch heel.

In the huge heels, Bleakley measured up to her 6ft 1 co-host Adrian Chiles, who also attended the launch in Trafalger Square.

The pair joined Olympian gold medallist Christine Ohuruogo and Paralympian double gold medallist Ellie Simmonds today to launch the www.tickets.london2012.com website.

The new website will give people the chance to sign up for updates about the forthcoming games and how to get tickets.

Bleakley's choice of Kurt Geiger shoes shows the down-to-earth presenter still likes to mix her wardrobe with designer and high street pieces.

In a recent interview, she even joked her love of shoes may push her into debt.

When she first started dating boyfriend Frank Lampard, he wooed her by buying her a pair of Jimmy Choos.

But despite her love of stylish high heels and a new boyfriend in Lampard, Bleakley has insisted she isn't a WAG.

She told the Mail On Sunday's You magazine: 'I am so not a WAG.'

Bleakley and Lampard have been dating since being introduced by Piers Morgan at the Pride Of Britain Awards last October.

The Northern Irish star said: 'He is known for being a very intelligent bloke, and obviously I see that as well. That contents me very much.

'You need someone to be able to have a conversation with you and be on the same wavelength, and he is like that. He is very, very smart. It’s going well but it’s still early days.'

Over the weekend, Bleakley and Chiles teamed up again on Sport Relief.

During the live telethon, Bleakley spoke about her water-skiing challenge and also shaved off Chiles's beard, which he had been growing since January especially to raise money for the show.
