Paddy McGuinness has broken his social media silence following his marriage split from wife Christine.
The couple, who married in 2011 and share three children, confirmed their separation last Friday (July 22).
TV fave Paddy, 48, and model Christine, 34, said they have been left with “no option” other than announce the split.
That’s because, they reasoned, there has been a “lack of privacy surrounding our personal life”.

Haribo sweets, protein bars and biscuits were also among the haul.
“Back at Top Gear and we take our snacking very seriously,” Paddy said during the recording.
“We’ve got the lot in here!” he added.

Paddy didn’t show his face during the brief clip, but his white trainers were visible at the beginning of his upload.
Romance rumours amid split
Following Paddy and Christine’s statement, tabloid reports have alleged his friendship with a female BBC presenter contributed to the couple’s current relationship status.
A source reportedly told the Daily Mail that there is no suggestion that the messages went beyond friendship but Christine was upset after finding messages on his phone.
