When you're already in hot water over reports that include an eastern European woman and a Las Vegas hotel, you do exactly what your fiancée says.

Frank Lampard and Elen Rives are so desperate to make their relationship work they are moving to a £4million country pile in Esher, Surrey.

The WAG, 29, took the Chelsea player, also 29, back and gave him one last chance - on the condition that he relocated to the countryside and left his London party lifestyle behind.

And the Chelsea star, who missed a penalty against Man United in the Community Shield yesterday, gladly agreed - despite constantly claiming he'd never leave London.

"She's told Frank she'll put the Vegas incident behind her if they can move to the country and lead a quieter family life. She thought if Frank agrees to leave his pals and teammates behind then it proves he's serious about making the relationship work."

In his book, Totally Frank, he calls west London his "home" and says it's where he feels most happy and content, despite being an Essex boy.

He has lots of friends in Fulham and the surrounding areas and it's where he first met Elen.

Frank has always maintained he won't move from the big city - but it seems what Elen says goes.

In spite of the move, the couple will hang onto their Fulham pad for the time being.

Frank was spotted leaving their new Esher home at the weekend, while Elen was with the couple's two children - Luna, two, and three-month-old Isla - at their Fulham home near Stamford Bridge.

It was reported yesterday that Elen is jetting off to Barcelona to introduce baby Isla to her family and friends back home.

Frank's agent confirmed: "They will both be moving into the Esher house soon."

Surrey landlords you have been warned - Frank may soon be wanting to entertain a few of his chums in your establishments.
