Christine McGuinness gives candid update on relationship with ex-husband Paddy after her 'fun fling' with famous soap star was revealed
Christine McGuinness gave an update on her relationship with husband Paddy after it emerged the star enjoyed a 'fun fling' with a leading soap actress was revealed. The former beauty queen, 37, set the record straight during a candid chat with Amy Hart 's Mum's Club podcast. 'I thought that going on Celebs Go Dating I would be fine. I'm ready to date. I'm completely ready to date,' she told. Discussing the reality of co-parenting with Paddy, 51, after the couple parted ways in 2022, Christine told: 'I've been separated from my ex husband for three years. We get on really well. 'We still live at home together, but of course, I want some adult company. I can't just sit and be with children all day, every day. 'I like that time out - being away from home when I'm working - but I haven't got that time out being away from home not working and just enjoying some adult company. 'I haven't had that, so I got the opportunity and thought, You know what? Why not? I understand myself, so I'll be fine. 'I'll manage it and it was just a step too far.' 'I found it quite overwhelming, so I listened to myself and I'm really, really proud that I recognised how I felt... 'I went home to my children after two weeks. I was supposed to do 10 weeks of filming - and I'd done two weeks - and I'm really, really proud of myself that I did what was right for me.' She added: 'If something doesn't feel right for you, physically, mentally, emotionally, it's okay to leave. 'That's something I tell my children quite a lot, because being autistic, you can stay and do what other people want you to do. 'I think it's really, really important to know that you can leave the party, you can leave the job, leave the event, you can leave the relationship at any time.' It was recently reported that the mother-of-three had a 'fun fling' with a soap actress at an awards ceremony back in 2023, following her split from ex-husband Paddy. The woman, whose identity has not been revealed, has previously been in relationships with men. According to The Sun, she and Christine allegedly 'exchanged messages in the days after they met' after 'partying hard' together. A source told the publication: Christine was single at the time and they really enjoyed the evening of the awards bash. 'There was a strong chemistry between them and they shared some messages but it never went any further after that.' Their relationship was said to have happened less than a year after her split from Paddy, 51. They announced their split in July 2022 after 11 years of marriage. The former couple share three children, including 11-year-old twins Penelope and Leo and seven-year-old Felicity. MailOnline contacted Christine's representatives for comment at the time. Christine was previously linked to former footballer Chelcee Grimes, 33, after they were pictured passionately kissing. Despite their fondness for each other after meeting on ITV 's The Games, Chelcee and Christine are reportedly no longer friends following an 'explosive row' over the nature of their relationship. Chelcee, who has also previously romanced former Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson, grew close to Christine following the TV star's split from husband Paddy. The pair met on ITV show The Games in 2022 and grew close the following year, which saw them kiss while on holiday in Ibiza. Christine, whose three children are all autistic, also attended Winter Wonderland with Chelcee and they were seen kissing in a picture shared to Snapchat. Chelcee and Christine have enjoyed several holidays together in recent years, having jetted off to the likes of Santorini, Croatia and Greece on girls' trips with friends. Sources close to the pair said Chelcee was there for Christine following her divorce to Paddy, which the glamour model described as one of the worst times in her life. Their close friendship reportedly ended, with the pair unfollowing each other on Instagram, and Christine recently went onto appear on the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating, which she filmed for two weeks before quitting. In June, Christine explained to Elizabeth Day on her podcast, that Paddy and family have known about her sexuality since she was little and it was 'never a secret'. She opened up about how she was dating women, including one two-year 'situationship', before she met Paddy, and admits she wants a connection for herself and not a step-parent for her children. She told the broadcaster: 'It shouldn't matter somebody's gender. It never mattered to me, which was why once me and my ex-husband were separated and I met people, I didn't properly date. 'It was more like blurred the lines of friendships for me, that was normal. It felt comfortable because I'd done that as a teenager and I, as a teenager, I dated both men and women. My ex-husband knew. My family knew. It was never a secret for me.' When asked if she has a label for her sexuality, Christine said she has thought about it but would consider herself more of a 'free spirit'. When asked about labels, Christine explained: 'No and again, I've thought about it. A lot of people always ask me, are you a lesbian? Are you bisexual? Are you what? Is this a phase? 'I've always been quite a free spirit. I think that's the only word I would put on it. When I was a teenager, I'd dated boys and girls. 14/15 was probably when I had my first kisses with, with both, and I never felt it was anything different or a big deal. 'Then I think where I grew up, everyone was kind of just there for a good time.' Christine explained that before Paddy she did date women and her longest relationship latest around two years.
