Christine McGuinness has revealed that she and Paddy McGuinness have a clever way of operating during the festive season to ensure their children aren’t ‘overwhelmed’. Christine, 36, and Paddy, 51, split in 2022 after being tying the knot over a decade earlier in 2011.

Despite splitting many years ago, Christine revealed that she will still be spending the festive season with her ex for the sake of their three children, twins Penelope and Leo, 11, and Felicity, eight. ‘The last thing we want to do is upset our children over Christmas, so we’ll make sure we’re all together,’ she told Woman’s Own.

‘It will be a quiet one. We always try to keep it quiet, because the children can get quite overwhelmed with the changes. ‘So we try to keep it like a normal day but with presents.’. Earlier this year the television presenter revealed that they still live together and people who came to visit them at home may well think they are still a couple.

‘If someone didn’t know our situation and came to our house and spent the day with us, they would not have a clue [that we aren’t together],’ he said. ‘We get on well, we live together and co-parent. We get the lawyers back and forth but that’s separate. If Christine met someone else, I’d be supportive.
