Paddy McGuinness recreates England's Chloe Kelly whipping off shirt amid Christine split

Paddy McGuinness recreated England hero Chloe Kelly whipping off her shift after scoring the Lionesses' winning goal.

The Top Gear host, 48, stayed at home to watch the match while his estranged wife Christine was at Wembley.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Paddy brushed off his recent announcement he had parted from Christine after 11 years of marriage to mark the victory.

In scenes which echoed Chloe removing her shirt and throwing it around her head after scoring at the Euro final, Paddy hit the ball into his children's trampoline in the entertaining skit.

After mimicking the footballer's initial doubts if the goal would be allowed, the presenter then proceeded to strip off his shirt to reveal a white crop top before running around his garden in celebration.

Paddy celebrated England's win at home, while Christine, 34, saw the victory live in action at Wembley stadium.

The RHOC star's wedding ring was still in place on her finger, despite announcing her separation from her husband Paddy earlier this month.

Christine smiled and posed for cameras as she was snapped outside the stadium ahead of the game on Sunday evening.

As she attended the match, she shard a photo of herself inside the stadium and cheered on the Lionesses in the caption, which read: "Things I love to see

"Women supporting women Going against the grain Doing what they love Believing in themselves Fighting for equality And our country getting behind them shouting “Yes girls”

“COME ON ENGLAND”."

Earlier this month, Christine and Take Me Out host Paddy announced their decision to split after 15 years together – 11 of which the pair were married.

Christine and Paddy, who share three children Felicity, Penelope and Leo together, shared a joint statement on their Instagram stories following family trip which was speculated as a make or break holiday for the pair.

The statement read: "We hadn’t planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but after the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify.

"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’re 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.

"We hope this now draws a line under anymore unwanted and unnecessary 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. We’ll be making no further comment."

The pair signed off the message: "Loads of love. Paddy & Christine."

It comes following months of speculation over the couple's marriage, which was sparked after Paddy failed to publicly support his wife while she appeared on reality challenge show The Games in May.

Christine had initially denied the rumours, but later explained the pair were going through a "very, very difficult time".

Speaking to The Sun at the beginning of July, Christine revealed she was feeling "all over the place".

Although Christine was reluctant to go into detail about the issues within their marriage, she insisted she "didn’t cause this situation".
