Christine McGuinness wows in a racy strapless leather dress as she poses for sizzling snaps after her ‘toxic’ divorce battle with Paddy ‘winning’ their £2.5m mansion
Christine McGuinness showed off her jaw-dropping figure in a daring strapless leather dress as she posed for a sizzling mirror selfie on Instagram on Thursday.
The model, 36, looked incredible in the figure-hugging burgundy dress which showed off her ample assets.
Christine styled her long blonde tresses in loose waves and accessorised with simple gold jewellery.
Posing up a storm in a bathroom, the TV personality pouted for the camera showcasing her glamorous makeup before heading to a charity event.
The snap comes after the Mail revealed Christine’s divorce from Paddy, 51, McGuinness has turned toxic.

When the former couple made the decision to divorce, each instructed the best ‘his and hers’ lawyers money could buy.
Christine opted for ‘pitbull’ solicitor Catherine Bedford, who represented Ant McPartlin‘s ex-wife Lisa Armstrong.
Meanwhile Paddy went for Emma Hatley, a family lawyer known for her work with ‘high net worth‘ individuals – and her discretion.
The gated seven-bedroom mansion boasts a swimming pool, gym and a glass balcony, and Paddy was anxious not to give it up. Now that the divorce has been finalised, it can be revealed that they will both keep the property.
Sources close to the former couple say Paddy argued he didn’t have the money to buy another property as big as the marital home.
And Christine – who discovered she was autistic and has ADHD in 2021 – wished to avoid uprooting their three children, ten-year-old twins, Leo and Penelope, and seven-year-old Felicity, all of whom have been diagnosed with autism as well.
The source told the Mail: ‘Paddy is very much the king of his castle when it comes to their house. There was no way he was going to move into a smaller property while she stayed in their big house. It means that they both still own the house and Paddy will have access to it at any time.
‘Paddy also knew that Christine would not want to cause their children upset by putting the house up for sale as they need routine and familiar surroundings because of their autism. Christine does have the option to force the sale of the house but she wanted to put her children’s needs first.’
Paddy, 51, and Christine, 36, announced their split in 2022 following months of rumours that their 11-year marriage was over
As part of their divorce they will both keep their £2.5million mansion. The unusual settlement will see Christine and their children – who all have autism – continue to live in the house
Christine’s friends told the Mail they are discussing ‘the ‘absolute nightmare’ the single mother now faces, not knowing when Paddy will stay there.
One said: ‘The current situation sounds dreadful. But the other solution would have been that the kids had to move out of the only home they’ve ever known.’
A source close to Paddy says: ‘Paddy will never say anything negative about Christine.
‘He has vowed to always protect and look after Christine and his three children, both emotionally and financially. Paddy’s relationship with his children will always be his number one priority. However, everybody knows how well Christine has done out of this divorce.’
Paddy and Christine announced their split in 2022 following months of rumours that their 11-year marriage was over.
Friends say she ‘found her new self’ after competing on ITV reality show The Games in 2022. It was, say those close to her, ‘what gave her the push she needed to realise she wasn’t happy in her marriage’.
