Christine McGuinness says 'missed you' as she reunites with bestie Chelcee Grimes before apology to fans

Christine McGuinness was all smiles as she returned to social media after another break from the online world. The former model had been pretty quiet on her Instagram, where she usually offers updates on her latest glam appearances and everyday life as a busy mum.

But Christine returned on Friday night (January 27) as she shared a glimpse inside her reunion with her bestie Chelcee Grimes. The pair formed a close bond after meeting on ITV show, The Games, last year but it appears it's been a while since Christine and singer and footballer Chelcee got together for a catch-up.

Taking to her Instagram with a string of photos, Christine, 34, could be seen smiling for the camera on a rooftop as the sun started to set behind her. The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star also beamed alongside her gal pal as they posed for a mirror selfie in almost-matching teddy fleece coats.

Captioning the collection of images, Christine penned: "A little Chrissy catch up, I've missed you," alongside a red heart emoji. The post also saw Christine posing in a smart grey blazer and looking ready for business with her new shorter blonde hair do as well as meeting up with TV star Sarah-Jane Crawford who didn't realise she made the cut when she commented: "Gorgeous you two," before adding: "Oh didn’t see myself in their too."

Chelcee also responded to the post, simply adding a red heart while Married At First Sight UK 2022 star Thomas Hartley added: "Beautiful," with a flame and heart emoji.

And fans were also flooding the post with messages as they were glad to see Christine on social media. @sarah_rookieroo said: "Soooo pwitty, absolutely loving the shorter hair." @kiss_vibesss wrote: "Worldy we've missed you as well." @becky_spaghetti616 replied: "So glad your enjoying yourself, you deserve a good time enjoy your weekend."

@mervyncowdell4837 echoed: "Great photos. Lovely to see you enjoying yourself." @anne_connors1101 commented: "Christine you are looking amazing, absolutely gorgeous." @kayto68 typed: "Great photos .. your glowing." @allaboutkellyann added: "@mrscmcguinness you're truly glowing. So nice to see, after all you do for your family. I know what it entails, as I'm in a similar situation. Long may it last."

Christine, who announced her split from husband Paddy McGuinness last year after 11 years of marriage, also shared a video to her Instagram Story which showed her back at her Cheshire home. The mum-of-three could be seen donning a cosy grey jumper with her hair pushed back from her face with a grey band as she looked into the camera.

"Sorry I've been lost in my head for a minute..." she typed alongside the clip which also featured the family's black and white cat. "But I'm back... again!" she added. It comes just a couple of weeks after Christine said she 'needed time out' after she excitedly kickstarted a brand new year before suddenly disappearing from social media.

She typed at the time: "Needed some time out.. Let's catch up. Here's some bits from my week." The mum-of-three went on to show off her new look after undergoing the 'chop'. Filming herself in front of the camera in an interactive exhibition in London, Christine could be seen donning a white cropped t-shirt and showed off her freshly cut blonde locks.

"Also... had a lil chop chop," she wrote alongside the video. "What are saying? I love it!" But Christine also appeared less happy as she filmed herself on the train. Resting her head on her water bottle, she wrote: "Don't pour from an empty glass.. really, it's not worth it. Refill when you need to."
