Christine McGuinness shows off washboard abs in tiny bikini as she sends message post-Paddy split

Christine McGuinness has said she's 'happy and free' as she was seen soaking up the sun during a work trip. The 35-year-old has jetted off away from the UK to a more exotic, undisclosed location to shoot some content for her new swimwear collection after launching her fashion brand, We Are H-E-R.

Earlier this week, she shared a snap of herself beaming on the plane alongside her two friends as they headed off to sunnier climes. "'Free' mammas on a little business trip together," Christine typed on her Instagram Story. She then teased: "@weare___her swimwear dropping very soon."

She then pulled on the crisp shirt as she turned and beamed for the camera, covering her eyes with a pair of dark shades and sporting nude-coloured sandals. "35 feeling so alive, happy and free just doing me," Christine typed alongside the post to her 710,000 followers.

Christine, who announced her split from TV star husband Paddy McGuinness last July, then shared: "It's never too late, start over, change your plans, reinvent yourself a many times as you need to. Make this next chapter for YOU!!!"
