Christine McGuinness wows in leather dress after pain of ex Paddy's career move
Christine McGuinness stunned as she headed on a night out after being "devastated" by Paddy making a mockumentary on their romance.
The mum-of-three, 35, shares her children with the comedian and is said to have been left "distraught" when she found out her heartbreak is set to become the "butt of jokes". She split from husband Paddy, 50, in July 2022, after 11 years of marriage and the former couple continue to live together and co-parent their children.
However, Christine was able to enjoy her Saturday night out in Leeds as she looked gorgeous in a leather mini-dress and thigh-high boots. The model headed to Hibbibi Bar and Restaurant launch with a male friend. She added a selection of silver necklaces and bracelets to her look and kept her long blonde locks in loose waves.
Over the weekend, it has been reported Christine found out about Paddy's latest career move after reading about it online. A source close to Christine, who has also been diagnosed with autism in recent years, told The Sun: "Christine is distraught that their divorce is going to be the butt of the jokes. She’s completely broken over the divorce and we are genuinely worried about her.
"Paddy didn’t tell her about the pilot. The fact she had to find out online, like everyone else, that he was doing this has broken her even more." The former Take Me Out host appeared on This Morning where he told hosts Rylan Clark and Emma Wills that his "money has run out".
Paddy leaves cheeky 'shower' quip on Amanda Holden's saucy lingerie shootHis financial strain has meant he has returned to stage for a stand up comedy tour for the first time in six years. When asked the reason behind his decision, he said: "Erm, well the money's run out now so it took about eight years to spend it all and I'm like, 'I've got to build it back up'. So weirdly, writing a tour does take a lot of your time. When we had the break from Top Gear, I'd been planning it for a long time, I went, 'There's a window there'."
Paddy wed Christine in 2011 and together they share three children; twins Leo and Penelope, and daughter Felicity. The comedian recently hinted he may have started to move on by dating someone new. Taking to Instagram Stories over Christmas, the TV star shared an image of two mugs of tea - with one much larger than the other.
The larger mug had the hot drink which clearly included a lot of milk - while the other mug had a darker tone of tea colour. Above the two mugs, however, he had added writing singling one out as ‘hers’ and one as ‘his’. Christine previously addressed the fact that she and Paddy have discussed how they will move on and start dating now they are no longer a couple.
She told The Secret To... podcast with Vicky Pattison: "We talk an awful lot and we're very open. He has said to me when he's been going on a date. We still live in the same house. But I think both of us right now we are very much in the same place, where we're just like just don't really know what to do or where to go."
