Christine McGuinness has revealed that her ex-husband Paddy McGuinness, who she still lives with in the family home, must follow a house rule now that he has started dating again

TV personality Christine McGuinness has shed more light on her ‘difficult’ and costly divorce from her ex-husband Paddy McGuinness. The former couple still live together in their sprawling Cheshire home with their three children, Felicity, eight, and 11-year-old twins Leo and Penelope.

After 11 years of marriage, the couple separated in 2022 but chose to keep living together for the sake of their autistic children. Christine has confirmed Paddy, 51, is now back in the dating game however he must abide by one house rule – to never bring women home.

Speaking on the latest episode of The Shizzio Show, Christine revealed it was something “unforgivable” that made them separate in 2022. However, she doesn’t know if she will ever talk about what happened between them.

“It was a difficult time. It wasn’t something that, you know, I just decided to do overnight, or that we chose to do”, she said. “We tried, and, yeah, there just, unfortunately, there was no repairing it, you know”?

She continued: “I’ll always, always love him as the father of the children, and I still live at home with him, which says a lot. We separated three years ago, and we are completely divorced, and we live in separate parts of the house, but we share a family home”.

The mum-of-three also admitted that she is still left paying off her £300, 00 divorce bill. “There was times where it was fine and really civil, and we were agreeing on what we wanted and what we were going, then there was times where it felt like we were starting all the way back at the beginning”.

She added: “It’s the biggest bill I have ever paid in my life, and I will say that I paid for my own divorce, nobody else.” Paddy recently opened up on what he looks for in a relationship. Speaking to Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie on their Table Manners podcast, the star revealed what made him “putty” in a woman’s hands.

Speaking to the duo, Paddy said of his connection with his mother: “Growing up it was just me and my mum and I would see my dad on weekends. She gave up her life for me and I didn’t realise until I was older, after she died. I wish I could have spoiled her rotten. My mum would make pies, big Sunday dinners”.

And he explained how cooking a dinner really is the way to his heart. “Everyone who makes me something now I am instantly putty in their hands”, he confessed. “I’m like, ‘ this is amazing, this is the best! ‘”

Paddy later went on to skirt over the question about his current dating status. Lennie asked: “Can I ask a cheeky question are you dating? Because I’d love to see Take Me Out again”.

Instead of answering about his personal status, he revealed he is unsure whether Take Me Out would work as well in today’s world. However, he revealed he would be up for a charity edition of the dating show.

“I’d be all over a charity special but as a series I don’t know”, he said. “Now, at the age I’m at, if I’m taking to a 20-year-old about dating, I wouldn’t have a clue. We are one of the most successful dating shows. We’ve had about six marriages”.

Full House star Dave Coulier, known for his role as Joey Gladstone in the fan-favourite sitcom, shared an exciting family update with fans

Full House star Dave Coulier has revealed that he has become a grandfather after his son Luc, 34, who he shares with his first wife Jayne Modean, welcomed a baby boy with his wife Alex. The couple welcomed the baby boy on March 27 and Dave revealed the happy news during a recent interview.

It comes after The Real Ghostbuster actor, who played Joey Gladstone on the ABC sitcom, revealed he was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In a new interview, Dave shared an update on his family and announced his son welcomed a baby bay, adding “we’re so excited”.

Speaking to Parade, he said: “My son and his wife live in California, so we’ll be making multiple trips to see that little boy”. He also thanked his grandson for helping him keep a positive outlook on life.

“I don’t know how else to view this other than with a positive attitude, especially because I’m in a position where I can inspire others. A negative attitude doesn’t inspire anybody. Positivity, though, can take you a long way”.

In November, Dave made the shock cancer announcement announcement during a live appearance on the USA’s Today show. The 65-year-old shared he only found out about his diagnosis five weeks before after finding a ‘ golf ball size ‘ lump in his groin area, which he initially thought was down to a cold.

The lump grew in a matter of days and doctors did further tests on him before they discovered he had stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

In the weeks before he made the announcement, he underwent three operations and has been undergoing chemotherapy.

Sharing his secret health battle, Dave admitted: “It’s been a rollercoaster ride for sure”. Describing the moment doctors told him he had cancer as a ‘ gut punch’, he said doctors told him they had “biopsied it, took it out, and said, ‘ we wish we had better news for you but you have B cell lymphoma, we need to get you into chemotherapy right away. ‘”

The situation occurred so quickly, Dave said his wife Melissa didn’t believe he had cancer at first. He added: “Once that settled in, that was a gut punch. But there was still another hurdle, we had to find out what the staging was so they went into my bone marrow and we got good news that day that it had not spread”.

Luckily this means the cancer Dave has is more than 90 percent treatable and he hopes to be in remission by next year, following his treatment. His second round of chemo is due to take place in February, so he will await further test results after that.

Before the first round of chemotherapy, Dave explained how he’d shaved his head and joked he looked like a ‘ baby bird’.

“I fit better in my hockey helmet now, I’m more aerodynamic on the ice”, he said. Despite his diagnosis, Dave is still “really, really busy with life stuff” and is “treating this as a journey”.

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have revealed how they avoided arguments while filming their new reality series, Stacey &amp, Joe, which follows the couple at Pickle Cottage

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have shared their secret to avoiding arguments in their new documentary. The couple are set to launch their own fly-on-the-wall reality series, which premieres tomorrow. Opening the doors of Pickle Cottage, the show offers a glimpse into their lives as they juggle parenting six children while staying in the public eye. But with cameras rolling around the clock, Stacey and Joe have found an unexpected way to sidestep minor squabbles.

The couple appeared on The One Show today, where they discussed their unique tactic. Host Alex Jones asked if they were ever aware of the cameras constantly being around and whether there were days they felt conscious of them.

She questioned: “Were there days when you thought, ‘ Oh man, oh no, they’re outside – here we go'”?

Stacey responded: “I’ll be honest, they’ve become our friends. It was lovely, it was a bit of extra company. Because we’re a busy household—we’re seven just us—and obviously my sister’s always over, Joe’s family are always over”.

Speaking about the cameras constantly being on, Stacey added: “You don’t notice, to the point where we’d start having a little domestic about something and then suddenly remember”, as she gestured, implying she would signal the camera crew to come over.

Joe then joked: “Quick, quick, let’s try to turn this around”. Stacey quipped: “We’ll be like, ‘ Oh, they can hear us, they’re watching. ‘”

Joe went on to explain that they wanted the documentary to feel as real as possible: “We decided when we were gonna do this, it was going to be warts and all. It wasn’t just going to show the glamorous side, it was going to be the ups and downs”.

Stacey chimed in, teasing the show: “In fact, we make it pretty clear there isn’t much of a glamorous side”!

The show, called Stacey & Joe, features five of the couple’s children as well as Stacey’s sister, Gemma, dogs, Peanut and Teddy – as well as ducks, Daisy and Delilah. However, there are two members of the family who don’t make an appearance – Stacey’s mum and Joe’s son, Harry, who he shares with Emma Sophocleous.

Opening up about the experience of filming The Kardashians-style show, Stacey said she’d really enjoyed it, telling House Beautiful: “I mean, it’s been a bit weird – we’re the kind of family who are always popping down to the supermarket together, but obviously, when you’re doing that with a crew, it’s very different.

” It’s been a lot of fun to watch back, it’s just like watching home videos. In truth, I did worry we’d be a bit boring, but seeing it, I was like: ‘ Oh my gosh, we’re actually quite funny. ‘ I would watch us! “

Cheryl Tweedy is believed to be on high alert after her stalker Daniel Bannister was jailed earlier this month but the singer now reportedly fears that he could be released earlier

Cheryl Tweedy is believed to be on high alert following fears that her stalker could be released from jail earlier than expected. Earlier this month, Daniel Bannister, 50, was jailed for 16 weeks for breaching a restraining order. A court heard that Cheryl, 41, had been left terrified after the convicted killer continued to stalk her – despite a restraining order against him.

During a hearing on March 14 at Wycombe Magistrates Court, a court heard how Bannister had repeatedly turned up at Cheryl’s home, despite having previously been jailed for four months. The Girls Aloud singer was left terrified after convicted killer Bannister “displaying fixated, obsessive, unwanted and repetitive behaviour” towards the Let You songstress.

The 50-year-old of no fixed address was previously given a three year restraining order which prohibited him from contacting Ms Tweedy, entering Buckinghamshire where she resides and attending her address. However, in December, he returned to the home she shares with her young son, Bear, who she shared with the late Liam Payne.

He was charged with breaching the restraining order, having entered Buckinghamshire on December 10. He turned up at “an address where you knew or believed Cheryl Tweedy was present”, which constitutes another breach of his order. Bannister was charged with harassment – breach of restraining order on conviction, harassment – breach of restraining order on conviction and attempt to breach a restraining order after conviction.

He turned up at Cheryl’s property in January 2024 and said over the intercom he had arrived as he had “come to get Cheryl”. During a separate incident, he said he was “really thirsty” and wanted a “glass of wine”. Now, sources claim that the singer has been left fearing that Bannister could be released early which has turned her life into a “real life horror show”.

“It’s hard not to feel for her. I mean, can you believe she’s living in constant fear that Bannister might just show up at her doorstep just a few weeks after being sent to jail”? a source told Radar Online. They went on to add: “He could walk free very soon now, and that’s sending her into pure panic mode”.

The Government website states that the release of a prisoner is dependent on the length of their sentence, their behaviour in prison and any time spent on remand. It also states that a prisoner may be eligible for release halfway through their sentence.

Cheryl told police that she “immediately panicked” when she spotted Bannister outside of her home. At the time, she told police: “I knew this was Daniel because I have had previous incidents where Daniel has come to my property. I was concerned he was looking for a way into the property”.

The singer told the police that her young son had been out with a friend and was due home any minute – but she didn’t want him to see Bannister. “I want to protect my child from any harm”, she said. Prior to the hearing earlier this month, Bannister was remanded in custody after pleading guilty to three separate offences.

In 2012, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Kingston Crown Court after assaulting Rajendra Patel, at a south London YMCA homeless shelter. After an attack in February of the same year, Mr Patel returned to hospital on March 9. He tragically died just one day later.

His cause of death was ruled as a fracture to his left ankle, pulmonary thromboembolism and deep vein thrombosis of the left femoral vein. Bannister, who at the time was 37, had been due to go on trial for the murder of Mr Patel – but the CPS lowered the charge to manslaughter.

It’s believed that the two individuals who had been living at the homeless shelter had been in a long-term feud with one another when the attack took place. CCTV footage was shown, of Bannister kicking and punching his victim as he attempted to go towards a lift.

Speaking in 2012, His Honour Judge Nicholas Price said as he jailed Bannister: “This is a tragic case. When you attacked Mr Patel you did not intend to cause serious bodily harm let alone cause death. But the attack undoubtedly goes beyond one punch, it is a sustained attack or more or less 30 to 40 seconds. It is clear you are not a danger to the public, but it is inevitable that you must serve an immediate custodial sentence”.

The Mirror has approached the Ministry of Justice and a spokesperson for Cheryl for comment.
