tat's missing?
Paddy McGuinness’ heart tattoo tribute to wife Christine appears to disappear – but is all as it seems?
PADDY McGuinness appeared to have removed the heart tattoo tribute to wife Christine he has on his wedding finger.
The 48-year-old looked like he didn't have the inking, which he had done after losing his ring twice, on Instagram this week – just days after Christine enjoyed a holiday with her new bestie Chelcee Grimes.

However, it is unclear whether the video had been flipped - because it is in selfie mode - and the tattoo is in fact still on his left hand.
Speaking previously about his romantic tattoo, Christine said: “'My wonderful husband Paddy McGuinness lost his wedding ring… again… on our family holiday about two months ago.
"He still hasn't replaced it but today he is forgiven because he's wearing a T-shirt with my picture on. #Over12years #StillStrong #HeHasItTattooedAnyway!"
Last week Christine, 34, told her fans she “followed her heart on holiday” after jetting away without Paddy.
Mum-of-three Christine shared a series of pictures from the trip as she grinned broadly at dinner, wrapped her arm round Chelcee and flashed her bum by the pool.

She captioned the joyful filled snaps: "I followed my heart and it lead me to Croatia".
“Memories for life, I’m feeling very lucky, so blessed. I’ve laughed sooo much, relaxed and switched off like never before!”
The star added: “I definitely won’t be leaving it another 3 years before I catch my next flight.”
Her trip comes after Take Me Out star Paddy, 48, had jetted to Portugal with his own friends.
The model has become close to talented footballer and singer/songwriter Chelcee, 30, since they appeared together on ITV reality show The Games in May.
On the holiday in Split, the pair were seen in social media footage filmed by friends walking along a promenade with their arms around each other.

They were also seen stroking each other’s bums and backs as they hit the bars and dined out with their pals.
Christine and Chelcee shared several gushing posts on the getaway.
Paddy spends time away filming BBC’s Top Gear and other projects — and fans on social media questioned why the couple were not away together.
One Instagram user, Angii Mcg, wrote: “Do you and Paddy never go away together it always seems u do things as individuals not as a couple @mrscmcguinness.”
Another fan, Diane Kenna, wrote: “Is Paddy with you, it seems to be always you?”
Paul Back added: “Where’s Paddy,” followed by two laughing emojis.
Paddy, who spent over a week in Portugal with friends from his hometown Bolton, took some flak for not openly supporting his wife on ITV’s The Games.
Some called him out for failing to highlight Christine’s efforts via his own social media channels.
In contrast, other contestants’ loved ones came out to support them.
Christine’s five-day trip to Croatia was planned to be a reunion with some of the other girls from The Games, including Phoenix Brown and Olivia Attwood, but they had to pull out.
