Mystery as Christine McGuinness's clothing brand disappears after fallout with best friend
CHRISTINE McGuinness' inclusive clothing line appears to have completely disappeared - just two years after she launched it.
The 37-year-old excitedly announced her first collection for HER following her split from Paddy McGuinness, but two years on and her brand is all but forgotten.

Christine went into business with her friend at the time - Catherine Farrell - after growing close.
At the time, Christine gushed about how Catherine was one of the first friends she had made and she seemed incredibly excited about their future.
But last year Catherine took a step back from the business and resigned as director.
Just months before, Christine was busy celebrating their success, writing: "It's our birthday!!!! Thank you so much to every single one of you that have placed an order, followed, liked and supported our business - we see you!!
'H-E-R - two best friends and an idea to level up the every day wardrobe. This year we very quickly grew out of our first space, moved onto our second and now onto a massive space with a whole team of people... and we are only just getting started!!!"
Companies House records show the company was almost struck off at that time.
Around the same time, Christine stopped mentioning the brand she had once been so excited about.
The Sun has contacted Christine's representative for comment.
Catherine has now gone on to launch a business with Tanya Bardsley - and it seems Christine is no longer on speaking terms with either of them.
The reality star previously launched a brand called VIBE By Christine in 2020.
And she planned to follow up the range with wellness products, work-outs and lifestyle tips and hints.

Yet the clobber – that included £50 sets of workout leggings and tops – failed to sell well and the firm is now dissolved.
Last week we told how Christine was facing more woes after being hit with a legal challenge to her dream of launching her own cosmetics range called Goddess.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire alum has filed papers with the Intellectual Property Office to trademark the term Goddess by Christine McGuinness.
But she has been clobbered by a dispute from a top US sportswear firm loved by A-listers like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber.
Bosses at Alo Yoga, based in Los Angeles, have filed papers with the UK government department opposing the application.
The firm is reportedly worth $10 billion (£7.54bn).
The company already uses the term Goddess to flog a range of £58 tops and £118 leggings, and they want to prevent Christine from using the word to sell her goods.
Official papers reveal Christine, who is in the process of a divorce from comedian Paddy McGuinness and is "devastated" at the sale of their family home, wants to sell make-up, perfume, nail varnish, and other women's beauty products, plus sports bags.
The application is still being considered by lawyers at the government department, and they are yet to make a ruling on Alo's opposition.

Inside Christine and Paddy McGuinness's bitter split
Christine and Paddy McGuinness's split in June 2022 has been marked by emotional and financial challenges.
Despite initially putting on a united front for their three children, all of who have autism, their relationship has since deteriorated, with tensions arising over living arrangements, legal battles, and public remarks.
Christine and Paddy still live together in their £2.5 million Cheshire home for the sake of their children's stability, though the mum-of-three has expressed disappointment over not securing sole ownership of the property.
Christine, who has autism and ADHD, has spoken about how her neurodivergence and past trauma shaped her decisions during their marriage and subsequent separation. She described feeling 'safe' with Paddy despite being unhappy, which she attributes to her aversion to change.
The divorce process has been financially draining, with Christine reportedly spending £300,000 on legal fees. Both hired high-profile lawyers, signalling a shift from their initial amicable intentions to a more contentious split.
Paddy's recent stand-up comedy routine, which included jokes about their divorce, added to the strain, leaving Christine reportedly upset and feeling disrespected.

Love Island sees quickest Hideaway sleepover EVER after just 56 hours as islanders NOT coupled up spend night together
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's summer series is off to a bang as a couple headed to the raunchy Hideaway bedroom just 56 hours in. Blonde air hostess Helena Ford, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, spent the night together in the hidden suite on Monday, The Sun can reveal. 4 Air hostess Helena Ford headed to the raunchy Hideaway bedroom just 56 hours in to this series Credit: ITV 4 She was joined by semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley Credit: ITV 4 This year's Love Island contestants, with Harry and Helena circled The luxury space is totally separate from the main villa and offers the Islanders complete privacy. Filming began for the series on Saturday lunchtime, meaning it was some two and half days before the pair headed for some alone time. A source said: 'This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island's twelve series history - and what a gorgeous pair to do so. 'In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established. 'But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite. 'It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the 'no invite needed' and explore their connection. 'The scenes will play out later this week, but bosses are unlikely to show anything too naughty, as is the show's usual approach.' Helena, who is pals with Piers Morgan's son Spencer and Gary Lineker's son George on the outside, had fans in stitches on Monday night's launch when she described her type as a 'four out of ten that is funny.' Harry, who is a commodities trader, has been described as The Surrey Zidane by fans of his team, Farnham Town. He's scored with Helena after his original coupling, Sophie Lee, last night left the villa as part of a show twist. Watch awkward moment Love Island's Shakira desperately grafts to stay in the villa - and show rivals are furious Love Island bosses overhauled their approach to raunchy scenes after facing a backlash in 2016. Regulators rained down on ITV when cameras showed Emma Woodham and Terry Walsh romping in the shared bedroom above the covers. Speaking this year at the villa, executive producer Mike Spencer-Hayter told the Sun: 'I think if that happens, we have a really nice touch of how we do it, with humour.' When Joey Essex and Jessy Potts romped in the final week of last year's series, footage showed a champagne bucket rocking and their feet intertwined. Love Island's return on Monday drew an audience of 1.4m across all devices - up on the launch of All Stars earlier this year. 4 Love Island host Maya Jama Credit: Instagram It's ITV2 biggest overnight audience of the year and was the most-watched show for 16-34s across all channels.
