Peter Andre sends message to Christine McGuinness after Paddy split

Peter Andre has sent a sweet message to Christine McGuinness after her break-up with Paddy McGuinness.

The I'm A Celebrity star has enjoyed a lengthy friendship with Christine and wished her well given the latest events in her private life. He said he hopes she is "coping OK" under the new arrangements and he sends his love.

In his column for OK!, the Mysterious Girl singer said: "It was sad to hear the news about Christine McGuinness and she and her husband Paddy separating.

"I’ve known Christine for a while and she knows me and Emily are always here for her and I hope she is coping OK. She is an incredible person and an incredible mum, too. Sending her all our love."

Christine broke the news last month she had been separated from her husband for a while but was hoping to keep the news under wraps for longer. She added, given the mounting rumours, she felt forced to acknowledge the break-up sooner rather than later.

In the joint statement posted to both their Instagram accounts, the former Miss Liverpool winner said: "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. Loads of love. Paddy & Christine."
