Christine McGuinness gives fresh update on split from Paddy as she talks dating again and keeping his name

Christine McGuinness has given a fresh update on single life, several months after announcing her split from husband Paddy McGuinness. The couple announced they had separated back in July following rumours their 11-year marriage had come to an end.

Top Gear host Paddy and former Real Housewives of Cheshire star posted identical statements on Instagram at the time where they opened up about making the "difficult decision". They shared that they had split "some time ago" but that they "still live happily in our family home together" as they look after their three children.

But in a new interview, Christine admitted she is "open" to dating again, however, she said she is in no "big rush" to find love again. She said: "I'm open to it [dating] this year. But I’ve got time. We’ll see what happens. It’s not really something that I’ve got on my radar. In your 30s, how do you date? Where do you go? Where do you start? I’ve been with Patrick for 15 years, I’m certainly not in a big rush to jump into anything."
