Paddy McGuinness takes a break from bitter divorce with luxury trip to Dubai

Paddy McGuinness has been taking time away from the upcoming divorce proceedings by sunning himself in Dubai ahead of the release of his mockumentary that will give a different view on his break-up from Christine McGuinness.

The comedian has been quiet on social media in recent weeks but has apologised to his followers for his "radio silence" during that time by sharing snaps of him soaking up the rays, with a beer in hand, a far cry from the winter snow back in the north east of England, where he lives.

Paddy was certainly making sure that he brought down the stress levels during his five days in Dubai, with him posting a photo of him relaxing in a swimming pool while another showed him stood with a friend, holding a can of beer, with the Dubai skyline rising up behind them.

Captioning the snaps, Paddy wrote on Instagram: "Apologies for radio silence but I’m just back from enjoying 5 days of winter Sun in Dubai!!! Full report coming soon but it was gorgeous!" It was met with plenty of messages of positivity from his fans, with one commenting: "Oooh lovely place for winter sun"

The break comes after Paddy filmed a mockumentary which has left his estranged wife Christine "devastated" as she feels their divorce will be the butt of the jokes in the show. A friend told The Sun that she was "completely broken over the divorce," and that Paddy had not let her know about his plans to write a comedic look at his life.

Comedian Josh Pugh, 34, plays a version of himself in the pilot, and said that an Airbnb had been used as Paddy's house for the filming. Speaking about comedy, Josh said: " Paddy McGuinness is doing a spoof documentary of his life and in that documentary he is mentoring me as a stand-up. It’s about his divorce. It was a very strange couple of days.”

The divorce could get a little difficult with the couple both employing top lawyers to represent them as Christine looks for a multi-million pound settlement as well as keeping their £4 million family home, for her and their three children. She has instructed Catherine Bedford, who helped land a huge payout for Ant McPartlin's ex-wife Lisa Armstrong - securing her a reported £31 million from the ITV star presenter.
