I didn’t put mine and Paddy’s marriage in this situation – I want to make that clear, says Christine McGuinness
CHRISTINE McGuinness has broken her silence on the speculation surrounding her marriage to Paddy.
The 34-year-old took to Instagram to comment on the claims she and the presenter, 48, are having troubles in their relationship.
She wrote: "Regarding the press...
"There is only one thing I want to make clear right now... I didn't put us in this situation."
Christine also shared a quote that read: "This year I met the most broken version of me, but also the strongest."
