Christine and Paddy McGuinness set for divorce
Back in July 2022, it was announced that Christine, 35, and Paddy, 50, had split.
Now, 18 months on, it’s been reported that Christine has hired “pitbull” celebrity lawyer, Catherine Bedford, in her bid to fight for a “multi-million” divorce settlement.
“Christine really wanted to work with a woman during her divorce and Catherine is one of the best in the business,” a source told The Sun recently.
“Christine wants to stay in the house she’s lived in as a family for many years. She’s poured many hours of love, care, and attention into it,” they then said.
“It would be heartbreaking to have to leave the property after all this time and uproot her life.”
