Glamourous Christine McGuinness breaks cover as ex Paddy 'gets cosy' with Kirsty Gallacher

Christine and Paddy McGuinness are back in the news. The pair split last July, bringing a 15-year relationship to an end. Now the former couple appear to be moving on with their lives after reports surfaced in the media this week of glamourous pictures and 'cosy' get togethers.

In an article published by Birmingham Live, Christine McGuinness was reported to have "posed in a stunning gown after her ex, the BBC Top Gear co-presenter Paddy, reportedly 'got cosy' with Kirsty Gallacher on a night out". According to the report, the ITV The Games and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine looked amazing in an outfit at Cinders Party Dress.

The glamourous picture comes after Paddy was spotted with Sky Sports star and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, Kirsty. Articles have said that the pair were on what seemed like a 'date'.

Last month, Kirsty, 47, said she was dating again and ready for love after splitting from former rugby player Paul Sampson in 2015 after 16 years together. "I'm currently dating! I'm not with anyone in particular right now, but I'm very open to something," she told Closer magazine. "That would be really lovely."

It is understood that Paddy has been single since announcing the end of his marriage to Christine. However, more recently Paddy and Kirsty were reported to have been spotted together at the Ham Yard Hotel in London's Soho.

An onlooker told The Mail on Sunday: "They were sitting together, laughing together and looking cosy. If you walked past them you would most certainly think they were on a date. They definitely looked like they would make a lovely couple."

Paddy and Christine announced they were splitting last summer. "We hadn't planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but after the lack of privacy surrounding our life personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify," a statement said at the time.

Continuing, it read: "A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus as always is to continue loving and supporting our children.

"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."

They added: "We hope this now draws a line under anymore unwanted intrusion into our private life. Although we work in the public eye we ask kindly if you could respect our wishes for privacy on this matter."
