Christine McGuinness issues 'blessed' update in bikini and says 'I really do'

Christine McGuinness has declared "I really do" as she stripped off and showcased her toned figure in a new social media snap. Christine, a mum-of-three and ITV The Games and BBC Pilgrimage star, soaked up the sun at her Cheshire home on Friday.

The 36-year-old has three children who she shares with Paddy - 10-year-old twins Penelope and Leo and seven-year-old Felicity - who each have autism along with Christine. The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star wrote: "Life lately has been one big fun bubble. I really do love my life. Very grateful, thankful, blessed."

In reply, a fan told her: "So beautiful and absolutely gorgeous." A second wrote: "Looking absolutely amazing." A third typed: "Outstanding amount of beautiful." And another said: "Leading the way for us late diagnosed autistic/adhd. Stunning, amazing, inspirational."

Another said: "Absolutely beautiful and so inspiring." The model still lives with Paddy in Cheshire, despite splitting in 2022 after 11 years of marriage. The former couple remain living in the same home for the sake of their three children, who all have autism.

Christine recently opened up about dating and moving on from her marriage, admitting she isn't ready to get into another relationship. She appeared on Spencer Matthew's Big Fish podcast, where they discussed sex and dating.

"It's just where I am at in my life right now: I want to focus on me. I'm also quite realistic about what I can and can't do. I don't want to put myself in a position where I'm spending time with someone and it may develop into a relationship and I'm not quite ready for that," she admitted.

"I met my ex-husband when I was 19. I've been separated for two years and never had time for myself. I'm not in a big rush," Christine said on the podcast.
