Christine McGuinness shows off new car as she gets behind the wheel of £143,000 Mercedes
CHRISTINE McGuinness showed off her stunning £143,000 Mercedes G63 yesterday as she went for a cross-country solo drive.
The model and mum-of-three, 35, was in her element listening to music and chatting to herself on the five hour journey to the east coast.
Before setting off, Christine showed off her personalised case beside the luxury black SUV.
She admitted she'd been up until 4am watching TikTok videos and was excited to fuel herself with Costa coffee on her journey.
It comes after the stunner shared a cryptic Instagram post that saw her posing in a bright blue bikini.
Christine opened up about how excited she is for the next few weeks in the caption.

She wrote: "Never looking back..
"I'm ready for a busy half term focused on my little family
"Then.. This mama needs some R&R."
She also revealed the "rota" behind her unusual living arrangement with estranged husband Paddy after their split, who she still shares a house with despite calling it quits last year.
Back in July last year Paddy and Christine announced that they had separated after 15 years together.
The star understands the importance of play for all abilities due to her own experience, having been diagnosed with autism during adulthood, aged 33 and as a mum to three children, Felicity, Leo and Penelope, who have all also been diagnosed with autism.
As an ambassador for the National Autistic Society, Christine is determined to raise awareness of the disorder, and champion the benefits of encouraging children of all abilities to play together.
Speaking about the state-of-the-art playground, she said: “It’s fantastic to be involved in the launch of Butlin’s SKYPARK. I know first-hand just how important play is for all children, but to have an environment where kids of all abilities can play together is really special.
“Children with additional needs such as autism can often lack confidence and need that extra support when it comes to communication. It’s really encouraging to hear that nearly 70% of UK parents are open to learning more about the additional needs some children have.
“By allowing kids to play and learn from each other, we’re helping to facilitate a better understanding for everyone.
“We know that taking part in regular exercise is great for all children’s cognitive development, and I’m really pleased to see Butlin’s taking the next steps in championing inclusivity by creating environments that allow children of all abilities to play together.”
