Paddy McGuinnes enjoys 'heavenly' night in as Christine announces major change

Paddy McGuinness enjoyed a relaxing night in as his ex-wife Christine McGuinness announced her Instagram break.

The Top Gear presenter, 49, took to his social media to share a little update on his evening plans with his followers.

He told fans: "Night in in. Toasted @modernbaker superloaf with Marks and Spencer chicken rillette. Heaven".

The star seemed pleased with his meal-for-one as he spent a night away from his hectic schedule.

It comes as Christine, 35, revealed she was 'going back to basics' by taking time away from her social media.

"Time for a little digital detox," she told her 711,000 followers.

"In a world of algorithms, hashtags and followers, I really want to embrace the true importance of human connection and go back to basics for a bit."

She continued: "P.S.. Im not really sure what I think about the whole ‘social media silence’ announcement thing but I have lots of lovely followers on here who check in on me daily and I don’t want to worry anyone whilst I have a little quiet time.

"I am very happy and healthy, I’m just ready to embrace switching off, being present and living low key for a while."

Fans immediately rushed to support her decision and discussed the importance of a digital detox.

"Yes, I do this. It good for the mind and the body," one user posted while another said: "Enjoy you time."

A follower said: "It's good to switch off sometimes.... enjoy."

Paddy and model Christine were married for 11 years before they called time on their relationship last year.

The duo released a joint statement at the time explaining their split, which read: "We'll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship."

Continuing the announcement, which was posted on their Instagram pages, the pair revealed they would continue to "live happily in our family home together".

The former couple shares children Penelope, Felicity and Leo - who have all been diagnosed with autism.

Explaining their decision to continue living together, Christine previously said: "We want to keep things the same as much as possible for the children, I don't want anything to affect them."
