Christine McGuinness gets supportive hug from friend ahead of big night 'without Paddy'

Christine McGuinness has been spotted getting herself ready in preparation for a big awards night this week. The former model is expected to attend the National Television Awards on Thursday night (October 13) as her documentary with ex-husband Paddy McGuinness.

The former couple, who announced they had separated back in July after rumours their 11-year marriage had come to an end, are nominated for an authored documentary gong for their BBC One show Paddy and Christine: Our Family And Autism as they explored the condition all three of their children have been diagnosed with.

It has been reported, however, that Top Gear host Paddy, 49, won't be joining 34-year-old Christine at the glamourous event, which was postponed last month following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Christine, however, was all smiles leaving a salon in Wilmslow in Cheshire. The mum-of-three was seen chatting and getting a supportive hug from a friend following her pamper session after her recent heartbreaking split.

She cut a casual yet stylish figure, donning a pair of skin-tight flared brown trousers with a beige crop. She added a long grey coat to her look as she shielded herself from the cooler temperatures and added a pair of chunky trainers to her feet while carrying her essentials in a white crossbody bag.

Her blonde locks looked fresh and styled into classic curls but were blown in the wind as she walked back to her car in a pair of huge shades. Her latest appearance comes after the former The Real Housewives of Cheshire star recently wowed fans by stripping down to a skimpy blue bikini in a snap shared on her Instagram from a sunshine trip to Santorini, Greece.

Another photo saw her make a heart symbol with her hands as she soaked up the sunshine around the pool. "69 hours in Santorini. Siestas and Sunsets is just what I needed," she captioned the post. Returning to chillier weather in Cheshire later last month, Christine was seen wrapping up with a beige trenchcoat teamed with knee-high cream boots as she showed off her bronzed legs. Later she shared a video clip of herself looking sophisticated as she took time to herself over a hot beverage.

She referred to her 'crazy' life as she used the Sex and the City theme music. "A life so crazy it could actually be a TV show," she captioned the video. And she added: "Storm in a C cup." Christine later told her followers that she wasn't 'planning on staying quiet forever' after posting less on social media.

"Unseen bits from September," she posted alongside a reel featuring a series of clips and photos. "Only 3 months till 2023! This year has been a bit crazy it’s gone by so fast." She added: "I know I’ve been quieter on here, I’m not planning on staying quiet forever. Thank you all for bearing with me," adding a winking face in between.

And it appears we may be seeing Christine back on our screens as she teased that she was filming something special as she could be seen a video montage smiling and walking towards a camera crew. "Today was magical. I left a piece of my heart down south, it really was a dreamy day." She added: "I’m living my dream right now. I hope you all love this project as much as I do."
