Christine McGuinness opens up about 'mistakes' and 'trust being broken' during emotional chat about split from ex-husband Paddy
Christine McGuinness became emotional as she opened up about ex-husband Paddy's 'mistakes' and claims 'the trust was broken'. The model, 37, who was married to TV presenter Paddy for 11 years before they split for good in 2022, is part of this year's Celebs Go Dating line-up. And while speaking to the E4 show's dating experts, Christine opened up about her marriage to TV personality Paddy. She explained: 'When I met my ex-husband, he wasn't as known as what he is now. I was 19 when I met him. I went to an event where I was modelling. 'My ex-husband was there, someone introduced us. We had a laugh and kept in touch.' When asked by the experts if she fancied Paddy, Christine replied: 'Yeah, I did. He had a cheeky charm, he made me laugh.' She also described meeting Paddy as 'perfect timing' and said it was 'an easy relationship.' The pair, who wed in 2011, have three children - twins Leo and Penelope, as well as Felicity. The experts then asked Christine about the breakup, to which she replied: 'Anyone can make mistakes, but I think the trust was broken.' Christine showed clear signs she wanted to leave the programme during the first episode of Celebs Go Dating on Monday night. The TV personality who announced she had quit the show in May, appeared visibly uncomfortable during the mixer when the celebs were tasked to pick someone to take to Ibiza in the hope they would get closer. But all seemed too much for Christine as she insisted on 'taking a minute' outside with her fellow co-star Kerry Katona . She panicked: 'I need a minute, I can go for a minute can't I? I don't want to just take someone away. 'How can I go abroad with someone I've just met? This is just not normal.' When it was announced she would appear on the show, it was revealed that Christine would be up for dating both men and women on the show. Christine revealed it felt 'too soon' for her to date so publicly following her divorce from ex-husband Paddy McGuinness . She had already flown to Ibiza to begin filming the series with the rest of the cast but told fans she was 'returning home to her family' after having a change of heart. Revealing the news on Instagram, she said: 'I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention is brings is just too soon for me.' Christine also said that she may appear in the future, adding: 'They've said the door is always open for me which I'm so grateful but for now I'm returning home to my family.' Talking on Celebs Go Dating, Christine said: 'I feel like I'm a couple of steps away from being my new self and not 'Paddy's wife'. I'm coming out of the transition part. 'I am single and I absolutely do love women. I'd love to explore that more and I definitely see that's where I'm more comfortable.' She added: 'When I was a teenager, I dated men and women before I was married and now I'm really, really just enjoying spending time with women. 'For the last three years, I've only ever dated women. I was never heterosexual, I've never labelled myself anything other than Christine, to be honest.' Christine was married to TV presenter Paddy for 11 years before they split for good in 2022. After they stayed living together for the sake of their three children, who have all been diagnosed with autism, the exes finalised their divorce out of court last summer. Christine revealed how 'difficult' the break-up had been for her after the pair's marital home, a Cheshire mansion worth £6.5million, was put on the market. She said: 'I've never spoken about the reasons for our divorce, and I don't know if I ever will. 'It was a difficult time. It wasn't something that, you know, I just decided to do overnight, or that we chose to do. 'We tried, and, yeah, there just, unfortunately, there was no repairing it, you know?' Discussing her appearance on the show before deciding to quit, the TV personality has admitted that she hasn't 'dated much before' so this will be a new experience for her. She said: 'I'm really excited to be joining the agency, I'm going to have a summer of fun! Who knows what might happen? I've not really dated much before, so I feel like I'm doing a crash course! 'I'm looking forward to getting to know the other celebs and I'm especially looking forward to the coaching side of things with the agents. I think that's going to be good for me.'

Wayne Lineker's daughter Tia shares first picture after marrying football manager Harry Agombar in luxury Mallorca wedding
Wayne Lineker's daughter Tia has shared the first glimpse of her lavish Mallorca wedding on Instagram as she tied the knot with husband Harry Agombar on Sunday. The daughter of the entrepreneur, 26, and her football manager partner Harry, 31, kissed during the picturesque outdoor ceremony. The newlyweds looked happier than ever as they said 'I do' surrounded by white and green flowers overlooking the mountains. Tia also shared a snap of her huge diamond ring as she penned, 'I've been in our wedding bubble but... we are married!!!' The stunner looked nothing short of sensational in a gorgeous white strapless wedding dress which featured a long full train. Styling her tresses in a neat low bun, Tia added a long veil and accessorised with a simple pretty pearl necklace. Harry looked dapper in a white blazer which he teamed with a black bow tie and trousers during the nuptials. The couple, who live in Dubai with their three-year-old son Alba, celebrated the special day with their closest friends and family. She captioned the post: 'Mr & Mrs Agombar 10.08.25' Taking to the comments, Wayne wrote: 'Incredible my princess. Best day ever .. love from the father of the bride'. Tia also had congratulation messages of fans as well as Rochelle Humes and Kate Ferdinand. During the weekend, Wayne revealed he was battling nerves ahead of his speech at his daughters lavish wedding. The brother of Gary Lineker, 63, looked dapper in a black tuxedo while taking to Instagram before his big moment to ask fans for luck. It is unknown if his famous sibling was in attendance. Wayne also posed for snaps alongside youngest son Freddie, 21, who cut an equally smart figure in a tan suit which he wore with a crisp white shirt. Shielding his eyes behind tinted shades Wayne told his followers: 'Wow what a day unbelievable walked my princess down the aisle,' 'Going to do my speech now, wish me luck guys' before playfully pulling a concerned face for the camera. Ahead of the ceremony Tia and Harry, who live in Dubai and share their three-year-old son Alba, threw a bash to welcome their guests (Tia and Harry pictured) 24 hours ahead of the ceremony Tia threw a bash to welcome their guests to Mallorca. Tia stunned in a champagne lace dress that hugged every inch of her jaw-dropping figure, while groom Harry chose a classic suit. The venue was decorated with huge signs that read 'the night before' as well as lavish flowers displays. Wayne is a father of four, as well as daughter Tia, he has three sons Freddie, Duane, 40, and Sean, 33, - having previously said he is on good terms with the mothers of his children, whose names have not all been disclosed. On Thursday Tia revealed she had arrived in Mallorca ahead of her big day, a year after she and Harry got engaged. The mother of one posted a picture of an airport trolley holding several cases including a Louis Vuitton bag, as well as her wedding dress. Tia explained that she took her dress as a carry on item and was able to store it in the overhead locker on the plane - which she revealed was a risky move. She wrote: 'In regards to my dress I just took it as hand luggage and no one asked any questions up until getting onto the plane. I managed to get a whole overhead locker for it but I would 100 per cent recommend booking a seat for your dress to have it right next to you. 'As they said if there wasn't a locker available it would of had to be put in the hold! Because there wasn't no wardrobe space on the plane as it was a small BA one, one I think I got lucky! Just took it in a doubled up dress bag'. Tia, who recently launched a 20-look holiday edit for PrettyLittleThing featuring 32 pieces, will be joined by friends and family to celebrate their union. She recently attended the wedding of her cousin Harry's wedding in Ibiza, as she attended with her father despite a 17-year family feud. Gary and Wayne's feud dates back to 2008, when former England and Barcelona striker Gary started seeing Danielle Bux and brought her on holiday to Ibiza. 'In my opinion, Danielle cost me my relationship with my brother. Sadly Gary is no longer a part of my life,' Wayne told The Sun in April 2015. Wayne was left confused when their weekly phone conversations and home visits ended abruptly - but he blames it on an awkward first encounter with Danielle, who Gary married in 2009 but divorced in 2016. 'They came to Ibiza in August 2008 and it was really awkward. I didn't spark with Danielle and our relationship was cold,' said Wayne. Wayne claimed that Danielle stayed in her room on the first day and they did not speak to one another during a night out the following night. The influencer did not want to risk upsetting his brother by bringing the tension up with Gary - but Wayne never spoke to Danielle after the holiday. Tia and Harry have been together for eight years and welcomed Alba via emergency C-section in December 2021. Tia previously shared snaps of her football manager partner getting down on one knee during a romantic beach proposal in Ibiza Tia previously shared snaps of her football manager partner getting down on one knee during a romantic beach proposal in Ibiza.

Tia penned in the caption: 'I said YES to the man of my dreams in our special place.' The couple have been together for seven years and welcomed Alba via emergency C-section in December 2021. 'The most special proposal @harryagombar_ cannot wait for the proudest moment of my life to walk my baby girl down the aisle... love you both.' Harry had organized a beautiful sunset proposal for her and it was surely an easy yes for Tia who was presented with a huge emerald cut ring. Harry, who manages team Arabian Falcons in Dubai, captioned his shots on Instagram: 'She said yes.' Former English footballer Harry played as a midfielder for Hereford United, Swindon and Grays Athletic.
