Paddy McGuinness has been seen for the first time since his estranged wife Christine McGuinness was spotted kissing her best friend Chelcee Grimes.
34-year-old Christine and husband Paddy, 49, recently announced they decided to part ways after 11 years of marriage.
Christine has since been hanging out a lot more with pal Chelcee - who she became close to on The Games.
The best friends shared a tender embrace as they enjoyed a fun-filled evening at Winter Wonderland earlier this week, with Paddy now seen looking gloomy while running errands in Manchester.
The Top Gear presenter was spotted driving his silver van alone and has since taken to Instagram to speak out for the first time since Christine's kiss.
Paddy shared a series of pictures on social media to reveal he had been busy hanging out with some friends. In the snaps, the group were seen having dinner and several drinks.
He captioned the post: "The annual festive old school cuddly toys night out was a resounding success.
"We drank, we laughed, we killed zombies. #christmas #oldschool #dakota #cuddlytoys."
Christine then took to her own Instagram Stories to say she felt like "the luckiest lady on earth".
The star posted a sweet snap of her children hanging the baubles on the tree in their pyjamas.
"I feel like the luckiest lady on earth right now. Dreams do come true," she captioned the post. Christine also posted a picture of her posing for the camera as she balanced on a ladder to decorate the tree.
Chelcee also took to Instagram to share a cryptic message, posting a video of Zendaya talking about finding a "spark" with "good people".
In the clip, the actress says: "Some people are just good people and you can just feel it.
"And I don't know how to explain that, but there's this little spark they have or this little special thing that they have that just you feel safe and happy around them.
"I don't know what that is, but some people have it, and it's special.
Following Christine and Paddy's split, the two took to social media to confirm the news. They said they are focused on being the 'best parents' to their three children as they announced their separation.
In a joint statement released on Instagram the pair stressed they felt they needed to 'clarify' after the speculation surrounding their relationship and had made the 'difficult decision' to move forward for their family.
