Christine McGuinness breaks silence on her love life after being 'completely on my own'

Christine McGuinness has opened up about her current relationship status and her hopes for the future.

The model and mum-of-three split from TV presenter Paddy McGuinness two years ago, ending their 11-year-long marriage. Since then, she has been linked to footballer Chelcee Grimes, though they unfollowed each other on social media.
