Danielle Lineker films documentary about being a step parent
Danielle Lineker documentary
Danielle Lineker is set to star in her own documentary – Danielle Lineker- My New Stepfamily where she looks into her life and the life of new husband, Gary Lineker and his two sons.
Speaking about the documentary which will be shown on July 20th on BBC3, Danielle explains: “It’s a massive shock to go from being a single mum on your own to having four teenage boys. It’s really nerve-racking!”
“Ideally, nobody wants to be part of a stepfamily. You’d have to be a fool to think you’re going to walk into a family and it’s all going to work. That’s not going to happen. Life doesn’t work like that.
“Kids are hard work. If the stepfamily doesn’t work out, the whole thing breaks down. There’s no relationship any more. Because I was a stepchild, I thought I was understanding and knew how it was.
“But filming this has made me realise I’ve forgotten quite a lot. I’d like to be able to love them like they’re my own kids. And that’s something you build towards.”
“‘Getting married gives the kids the message that we’re in a proper relationship. I’m not just here for six months, then I might just b****r off tomorrow. They know that’s not going to happen.”
“I definitely want to see how other people manage the situations, to see if I’m managing it correctly. I don’t want them [Lineker’s children] to say, “We don’t want to go round to Dad’s house because all she does is nag.” ”
Yay! We love watching Danielle on TV and it will be great to see her open up about her past and about her new life with Gary and his family. We think it would be cool to have Danielle as a step mum, so it will be nice to see what Gary’s sons who are 18, 17, 14 and 13 years old actually think!
