Christine McGuinness and Chelcee Grimes have grown close following the star's split from husband Paddy.
The two women recently enjoyed a break in the sun together, flying off to Crete together for a little holiday, and sources have claimed the two stars also enjoy hanging out 'a lot' together at home too.
Christine and Chelcee's friendship first began when they both appeared on the show The Games together earlier this year, just weeks before The Real Housewives of Cheshire star, 34, announced she and comedian Paddy had ended their marriage.
In September this year, shortly after Paddy and Christine's shock announcement, Chelcee - who once dated Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson - joined Christine on a mini-break in Santorini, with the pair also enjoying a trip to Croatia with pals over the summer.
"Christine and Chelcee hit it off straight away and love spending time with each other," a source close to the two stars has said.
"They have just enjoyed another sun-filled break together but also hang out a lot at home."
Speaking to The Sun, the source added how Chelcee will regularly visit Christine's house when their schedules allow it and has been a great support to the star following her marriage split.
Both Paddy and Christine took to their respective Instagram accounts in July this year to finally put an end to the speculation surrounding the state of their 11-year marriage.
Writing to her 669,000 followers, Christine explained how the decision to split had been made "a while ago" in the joint statement from the former couple.
The mum-of-three - who earlier that month revealed she and Paddy were going through a "very, very difficult" time - revealed both stars will continue to live in the family home alongside their three children; twins Leo and Penelope, eight, and daughter Felicity, five.
"A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus as always is to continue loving and supporting our children," an extract from the lengthy joint statement reads.
"This was not an easy decision to make but we are moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children.
"We'll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together."
Christine, 34, and Paddy first sparked concerns over their marriage when he failed to support her at The Games. Later, Christine took a solo trip with Chelcee and other pals, and cryptically discussed "following her heart".
Chatting about her close friendship with former footballer and songwriter Chelcee earlier this year, Christine gushed to Fabulous: Chelcee is my soul sister.
"Just straight away from the day I met her; I just loved her."
