Christine McGuinness wows as she reveals her kids with Paddy will always come first amid split
CHRISTINE McGuinness says the needs of her three children will always come first amid her split from TV presenter husband Paddy.
The model, 35, revealed it was the one thing she and the Take Me Out host could still agree on.

And despite squaring up for a fight over a multi-million-pound divorce settlement, they are living under the same roof to keep their children settled.
The couple’s three children — twins Leo and Penelope, ten, and Felicity, seven — are autistic.
But Christine says: “It’s the one thing that we completely agree on — the children’s needs come first.
“We don’t want them to be affected by anything.
“Patrick’s diary is busy, as it always is, so he very much dips in and out of the home, because he’s working away a lot.
“The same as when I was his wife, I’m there to support the children when he goes out to work — that’s how it is.
“When he comes back, that’s when I’ll try to put some of my work in.
“It doesn’t affect the children, because they’re not moving anywhere.”
But while Paddy, 50, has started dating again, Christine told Fabulous magazine: “Because we still live together, I don’t really feel ‘single’.
“I’m certainly not looking for love.”
