PADDY McGuinness walked arm-in-arm with celebrity pal Nicole Appleton on a boozy night out — while his wife was more than 200 miles away at their family home.
The Take Me Out host, 44, spent Friday evening in central London’s Soho and looked startled when he realised a photographer had spotted him with 43-year-old singer Nicole.

Minutes earlier the pair had spilled out on to a street of bars and restaurants, blending in with other revellers.
Nicole, who has a son with ex husband Liam Gallagher, clung to Paddy as they laughed together.
She snuggled into him as she wrapped both her arms around his left arm.
Paddy, famed for his “no likey, no lighty” catchphrase on dating show Take Me Out, walked with her as her head leaned towards his shoulder.
He spent the night at a Soho hotel.
It is not known where Nicole went.
Yesterday morning, Paddy emerged bleary-eyed and clutching a bottle of water to guest on Sky’s Soccer AM.
The star, in London to film The Keith & Paddy Picture Show, tweeted: “Can’t beat a bit of live telly after a night on the lash” and admitted when asked that he was “still a bit squiffy”.
A source said: “It was a bit naughty of Paddy going on the booze when he knew he was doing TV the next morning, but he still did well.”
