They were once the picture-perfect couple with a glamorous showbiz life and three kids they doted on.

But Paddy, 51, and Christine McGuinness’s storybook romance ended in a shock split in June 2022 – before spiralling into a messy and bitter divorce

Despite the divorce, the couple have continued to live together and co-parent their kids. 

Telly presenter Paddy’s incredible home has seven bedrooms, an indoor pool and even its own soft play centre.

Now, Christine, 37, has told The Sun that the former couple “live on different floors.” 

She added: “Neither of us watch what each other does. 

“Obviously, Paddy and I are on separate floors and have separate rooms. So, my bedroom and dressing room is my little haven.”

Christine also discussed Paddy joking about their marriage during a comedy show. 

The TV presenter and comic returned to live comedy for the first time in eight years in October last year, with his Nearly There show.

And it took him just 63 seconds to get in a dig at Christine. 

He said: “Tonight, folks, we’re all here as human beings with one common goal — and that’s to help me pay for my divorce. I’ve had the pants down, me, the pants down.”

Opening up on the joke, Christine has now said: “I didn’t see it. It’s funny because we both work in television, yet neither of us watch what each other does. He’s touring and that’s part of his job.”

Dad-of-three Paddy, who has three children with Christine, has owned the property for five years.

But Top Gear star Paddy is now selling the home, and hoping to make an impressive profit of £4.4million if the house goes for the asking price.

Upstairs, the house has seven bedrooms and six of them have luxury en suite bathrooms.

There are walk-in wardrobes and a very grand landing with fancy drop lights.

And if the new owners have children, then they are in luck.

One of the rooms of the mansion is currently kitted out as a playroom with its very own soft play area.

The couple first met through a mutual friend in 2007, when Christine was 19 and Paddy was 33. Two years later, he popped the question and they married in 2011 at Merseyside’s Thornton Manor Estate.

They share three children – twins Leo and Penelope, nine, and Felicity, six. Christine and their kids are all on the autism spectrum.
