The ITV The Games star shares three children with ex Paddy, the BBC Top Gear star. The mum-of-three, who made a name for herself on Real Housewives of Cheshire and is now a BBC documentary maker, has signed up to BBC Two show Pilgrimage in the wake of the heartache.
“Since stepping into the spotlight, Christine has bravely let fans into her personal life, from learning she is autistic at the age of 33 and parenting her two autistic children, through to the breakdown of her marriage to Paddy McGuinness," a source told the Sun newspaper tonight.
“Pilgrimage comes at the perfect time for her, as she’s starting to shrug off heartbreak and explore the potential of finding new love. Traditionally, pilgrimages were taken to explore personal growth towards a place of spiritual awakening and the BBC Two programme has shown to profoundly affect its cast.
“Not only could the experience prove to be incredibly positive for Christine’s own development, bosses hope her journey will add real heart to the programme. Any revelations about Paddy or her current love life would of course go down a treat, too.” This year, seven celebs took part in the show.
Su Pollard, who was raised Church of England; Jewish actress Rita Simons; Pentecostal Born-Again Christian, Shane Lynch of Boyzone fame; reality TV star and influencer, Vicky Pattison, who is agnostic; Bobby Seagull, a practising Catholic, maths whizz and TV personality; Nabil Abdulrashid, a comedian and practising Muslim; and Paralympian skier Millie Knight, who is non-practising Church of England, all agreed to take part.
