Paddy McGuinness cut a glum figure after it was revealed ex wife Christine are reportedly struggling to sell their £6.5million Cheshire mansion.
The comedian and presenter, 51, was seen stepping out of his brand new £163,000 BMW on Sunday morning.
Paddy looked uncharacteristically downcast as he paid up at a parking meter in Manchester.
He wore a light grey boxy T-shirt with colour matched cargo trousers and a pair of white and cream trainers.
Paddy's appearance comes amid claims that he and Christine have generated 'very little interest' in their property in the five months since it went on sale, with one source describing it as overpriced - even for the upmarket area it's based in.
The couple separated in June 2022 but have continued to live together in the house for the sake of their three children, who are all autistic.
The Mail On Sunday reported in March that Christine was left 'fuming over the price tag' of the home as she believed he inflated the price so it doesn't sell.
A source told The Sun on Wednesday that Christine is 'unhappy' and wants to move out.
They also told the publication: 'It's a lovely house with all mod cons in a fantastic location but there's been very little interest.
'It's the most expensive house in Prestbury on Rightmove but it appears the market's a bit flat right now.'
Representatives for Paddy and Christine have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
In March Christine was left furious after husband Paddy put their marital home on the market for the £6.5million price as she believed he inflated the price so it doesn't sell.
Her friends at the time feared that she would have to continue living with the former Top Gear host for 'the foreseeable future' because buyers will be put off by the cost of it - which is a staggering £4.4million more than what they paid for it in 2020.
'It is so overpriced, Paddy doesn't want to sell which seems like another tactic by him.
'It's insane that Paddy would put the house on the market for that much, they only bought it five years ago and house prices have hardly gone up at all since then,' said an insider familiar with McGuinnesses.
'The house is on for two thirds more than what they paid for it, it will never sell. It all feels a bit like Paddy wanting to control the situation and keep Christine living in the house with him for longer.
'Christine made it clear that she can't live with him anymore but now it looks like she will have to for a long time yet.'
In an interview with the Daily Mail's Weekend Magazine, Paddy recently discussed his living situation with Christine and intimated the pair would continue staying under the same roof.
He said: 'Yeah, still the same. It doesn't feel tricky. I think it would if you lived in a toxic household - God forbid.'
Asked how their unique living arrangement works, Paddy added: 'If I'm at home with the kids it's great.
'If I'm working and Christine is at home with the kids, that's great.
'If we are there together, that's fine. As long as my children are happy, that's all that matters to me.'
Its seven bedrooms have six en suite bathrooms and the house has been described by estate agents handling the sale as 'tailor made for hosting family and friends'.
Paddy, 51, is hoping to make a £4.4million profit after purchasing the home for £2.1million back in 2020.
He and Christine spent months renovating the property before moving in to cater for the needs of their young family.
The mansion features its own gym, a huge kids playroom containing soft play equipment, his and hers dressing rooms, an orangery and a kitchen diner.
