Paddy McGuinness, 52, shows off his ripped physique as he celebrates his birthday on a lavish family holiday with ex-wife Christine
Taking to Instagram on Friday, the comedian and presenter flaunted his chiseled abs as he posed shirtless in the mirror for a selfie in his lavish hotel in Mallorca.
The father of three appeared elated as he celebrated the special day alongside his children, Leo, Penelope and Felicity, sharing snaps with his cake and presents.
Paddy holidayed with his ex wife Christine as they posed alongside airport staff ahead of the trip in another snap.
Christine and Paddy announced their split in 2022 but have continued to co-parent and live together for the sake of their three children, who are all autistic.
Alongside his post, he penned: 'Just got back from a glorious five days in the sunshine.
'My kids made birthday gifts, we had lots of lovely food, drink and a tan that would make @jamie.redknapp proud!
'Met some wonderful families at @zafirohotels and had a belting, relaxed time. Big shout out to the mighty @manairportuk in particular Samantha Richardson and Jane McBride.
'Two wonderful ladies who made a last minute check in stress free. They put all our kids at ease. ❤️
'The lanyard scheme worked both at Manchester and Palma coming back. ✈️ Back home now, chippy tea and an early night for everyone!!!'
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 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.

David Beckham takes his mind off family feud as he gushes over his love for beekeeping in sweet post to celebrate World Honey Bee Day
David Beckham gushed over his love for beekeeping with a sweet post to celebrate World Honey Bee Day on Saturday, amid his heartbreaking family feud. The former England footballer, 50, has a profound interest in the insects, and even launched his own honey-based snack business in recent years. To mark the special day, he took to Instagram to share a post with his followers to acknowledge the event. A video saw David pouring some fresh homemade honey from his beehive in the garden - something he set up in 2020. David smiled as he showed off the delicious jar full, which said 'Golden Beez' on it. He also made sure to plug his brand, Bee Up, in the post too. Bee Up is sold in Target and offers a range of healthy snacks for kids. Alongside the post, he shared: 'Today we celebrate our beeeeeezzz. From owning my first hive at home in 2020, to starting my own honey-based snack business. 'I've learnt so much about the health benefits of our honey-bees. Happy World Honey-Bee Day.' He was met with lovely comments about his excitement for World Honey Bee Day, including one from TV presenter Matt Baker, who wrote: 'Let's get you on Countryfile.' His excitement for the special day comes after his ongoing feud with his estranged son Brooklyn and his daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, said 'I do' for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family, with the Beckham clan notably absent. David and wife Victoria, 51, and his brothers Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and sister Harper, 14, were nowhere in sight at the second wedding. Brooklyn's grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online. Insiders previously told Daily Mail that Brooklyn's parents are concerned his wife Nicola holds disproportionate sway in her marriage to their son. They said: 'They think Nicola is a bit of a horror but she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Nicola loves having Brooklyn at her side and she loves him very much. But he is also very useful. 'The wider Beckham family and Brooklyn's friends – many of whom he no longer sees – take the view that he does what Nicola wants. From Beckhams' point of view, it's not nice to watch.' Brooklyn and Nicola's vow renewal was a glamorous affair packed with family, fashion and friends earlier this month. As more pictures of both the big day and the after-party come to light, it is becoming increasingly more apparent that the festivities were fairly one-sided - with most of the guestlist comprising Brooklyn's post-Nicola peers and pals. The lack of Brooklyn's side sparked widespread chat on social media, including comments from fans who likened their relationship to that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - after the royal turned his back on his family and moved to the US. When Brooklyn and Nicola first tied the knot in 2022, they hosted a three-day Palm Beach extravaganza, which saw 500 guests party in no-expense-spared marquees in front of the ocean - where both families stood front and centre . Fast-forward three years and the change is remarkable, with no sign of the Beckham parents or the siblings Brooklyn held so close to his heart. In their place is the entirety of the Peltz clan - with Nicola's mother Claudia, 70, and her father Nelson, 83, holding all-star roles on the day. At the 2022 festivities, during the Hora - also known as the Jewish wedding chair dance - where the bride and groom are lifted on chairs while guests dance around them in a circle, David was also lifted up on a seat. Brooklyn's brothers acted as his Dior-clad groomsmen at the event although their positions have officially been occupied by the in-laws. Nicola has six brothers, all of whom Brooklyn is fond however he is very close to her brother Diesel, who introduced him to his bride. As well as swapping siblings, it has also been revealed that Brooklyn has shunned some of his old friends - as illustrated by his wedding pictures.

EastEnders' Natalie Cassidy looks slimmer than ever as she strips off to a bikini on luxury family holiday
NATALIE Cassidy stripped to a palm tree print bikini as she kicked back and relaxed on an idyllic family holiday. The former EastEnders actress, 42, showed off her toned figure in the matching green and cream two-piece, which she paired with a straw hat during her Crete getaway. 6 6 6 Natalie, who played Sonia Fowler in the BBC One soap, looked blissfully relaxed as she stretched out on a hammock, dipping her toe into the private pool below. She read her book as she soaked up the sunshine on what she hailed as "10 days of pure family time." In her gallery, posted to Instagram, Natalie also showcased her toned look as she posed in a brown sun dress with her fiance Marc Humphreys. Other snaps captured them playing card game UNO as they enjoyed drinks in the evening as well as sea swims and tasty Greek food. Natalie and Marc were seen enjoying a hug as they stood in the pool before they were joined by their daughter. In her cheery caption, she wrote: "Crete. 10 days of pure family time. "UNO, clear seas, gorgeous people and beautiful food. I love you all so much and feel so blessed." The screen star then emphasised: "NOT AN AD AT ALL NO DISCOUNTS NO NOTHING but thank you to @oliverstravels as the villa and everything about this break were fabulous. Would recommend them for a trip." TOWIE 's Jess Wright was quick to write: "Love it Nat." Dianne Parish then wrote: "You're all flipping gorgeous," as Patsy Palmer added a series of red love hearts. EastEnders' Natalie Cassidy claims huge pop star used to BULLY her at school and reveals awkward confrontation One fan then gushed: "Bloody gorgeous pics well deserved break for you all." Another posted: "You look beautiful Natalie, you just can't beat family time in the sun, esp with lots of games of UNO xxx" One then added: "Beautiful family. Your daughter is a mini version of you Natalie." Just last month, she looked unrecognisable from her soap character as she glammed up for an event. EastEnders stars who QUIT MICHELLE Collins has seen her second EastEnders stint boost her bank balance. Yet what stars have quit this year? The Sun exclusively reported how Michelle, 62, was down to £20,000 in her company accounts when she agreed to a shock back-from-the-dead return to Albert Square last year. Her character, Cindy Beale, was presumed dead off-camera in 1998. Yet what about the 2024 exits? Earlier this summer, loyal soap fans appeared to note how Stevie Mitchell had "quit" the long-running series. It came after Alan Ford enjoyed just six-months on-screen. Bobby Beale actor Clay Milner Russell also left this year after five years in Walford. Fans also feared Martin Fowler actor James Bye would "quit out of boredom" over recent storylines. Additionally, a host of stars have quit the BBC soap for Hollywood fame. One of the most successful stars to come from the BBC One soap is Rob Kazinsky. He played Stacey Slater's brother Sean Slater from 2006 to 2009, he has starred in Hollywood blockbusters Pacific Rim and Captain Marvel. Ben Hardy, who quit EastEnders as Bobby Beale almost a decade ago, went on to break Hollywood the following year, when he starred as Archangel in X-Men: Apocalypse. Since then, he has played Roger Taylor in Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he starred in Michael Bay 's Netflix movie 6 Underground. Michelle Ryan played Zoe Slater until 2005. She starred as the lead in short-lived American series Bionic Woman from 2007 to 2008. Natalie was a familiar fan favourite on the BBC One soap until her exit in April after a 32-year stint. She has spoken openly about her weight loss battles and admitted she was offered a bumper pay cheque to release two weight loss DVDs in 2007. Yet after pocketing £100,000 to lose four stone - she put it straight back on. Just last year, Natalie was forced to deny she used diet pills to lose weight. OPENING UP She recently spoke about her marriage to former fiance Adam Cottrell and his relationship with his daughter. Natalie got engaged to the transport manager from Bristol in 2010, but split a year later. During their relationship, Adam was charged with assaulting her and received 120 hours of community service. Natalie later reconciled with him for a brief time as she tried to make it work for the sake of their child Eliza, who they welcomed back in 2010. Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast Life With Nat, the actress was joined by her aunt Linny, where she admitted her relationship with her ex "wasn't a happy one". Discussing her parenting, mum-of-two Natalie said: "We don't raise them the same, of course we don't..." She told her aunt: 'It's a cementing of your marriage, or your life... it's everything… but I didn't have that experience. "I was in a relationship, it wasn't a happy one. "Eliza was my absolute life, but the experience that came with it wasn't a nice one." In 2014, Natalie started a relationship with Marc. They got engaged in 2015 and welcomed their first child Joanie Elizabeth into the world in 2016. 6 6 6

Ulrika Jonsson stuns in yellow lace bra as she celebrates her 58th birthday after marking one year sober
proved age is just a number as she celebrated her 58th birthday by stripping down to a lace bra - showing off her incredible figure and radiant glow after ditching alcohol. The Swedish-born star, who became a household name as one of the UK's most loved TV presenters, posed in a lemon-yellow bra that flaunted her bronzed tan and toned physique. With her blonde locks styled effortlessly and minimal make-up enhancing her natural features, Ulrika looked every inch the picture of confidence. Marking the occasion with a candid post to her followers, the mum-of-four revealed she's feeling better than ever since turning her back on booze and focusing on her health. She shared: 'Here I am: 58. No filter. No make-up. Just me at 05:34hrs this morning.' Despite admitting it was a quieter day than usual, with none of her children at home - Cameron, 30, Bo, 25, Martha, 20 and Malcolm, 16 - Ulrika said she wasn't letting that dampen her spirits. Instead, she enjoyed lunch with a friend and even spent time in the kitchen baking sourdough. Reflecting on the past year, the star admitted it hasn't been without challenges but credited her sobriety and sense of self-love for giving her newfound strength. 'Another year has passed and it's been a largely good one. All the better for sobriety and spirituality,' she told fans. Ulrika went on to share that for the first time in her life she feels truly comfortable in her own skin, saying she has 'fallen in love' with herself after years of ups and downs. 'It may have taken 57+ years but I'm at my best now. I'm in my prime. I'm steadfast, anchored, solid and unwavering,' she wrote. The TV personality, who has been open about her love life in the past, said she's embracing single life and sees it not as a failure but a triumph. She added: 'Being single isn't sad or desperate or a failure. It's victory over fear and loneliness. It's triumph over a need to settle for less than you deserve. It's peace.' Ulrika - who rose to fame on shows including Gladiators and Shooting Stars before becoming a staple of British TV - has been praised by fans in recent years for her honesty about ageing, relationships and sobriety. Despite admitting it was a quieter day than usual, with none of her children at home - Cameron, 30, Bo, 25, Martha, 20 and Malcolm, 16 - Ulrika said she wasn't letting that dampen her spirits Ulrika went on to share that for the first time in her life she feels truly comfortable in her own skin, saying she has 'fallen in love' with herself after years of ups and downs which fans loved to hear Her latest post struck a chord with followers, who flooded her with birthday wishes and admiration for her candid words.

Ulrika's post comes after she appeared on Spencer Matthews' Untapped Podcast makeup-free to film the podcast episode. The television presenter received some trolling comments on her 'ageing' appearance so decided to hit back. Some of the cruel remarks said she was 'over-tanned, imperfect and ageing', which she said made her 'heart hurt' and 'feel awful'. Writing for The Times, she told how the 'nasty, vindictive and hurtful comments' flooded in as she hit back at the unkind trolls. She wrote: 'I've fought hard against the whole perception of women being solely about beauty and image. 'I'm a practical woman and I come with a wealth of experience, kindness and intelligence. 'The fact that I now have wrinkles, lines and jowls should be of no consequence.I know I look older. 'But then I should: I'm a menopausal mother of four whose body and face has lived quite the life.' She added that she had showed up for the podcast recording without wearing make-up as she had forgotten it would be filmed. Ulrika went on to explain that while she has tried both Botox and fillers in the past, now she just wants to look her age. She also praised actress Pamela Anderson, who in recent years has become known for making red carpet appearances without make-up.
