Paddy McGuinness’ former wife, Christine, delivered a heartfelt update as she revealed a poignant insight into her family life. Speaking on John Reynolds’ Extraordinary Life Stories podcast, the ex-model opened up about how the children she shares with Take Me Out presenter Paddy serve as her “biggest inspiration” and have shown her how to “not be scared”.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire personality, who is mum to three youngsters – twins Leo and Penelope, plus Felicity, all of whom are autistic – made these comments whilst reflecting on a challenge she faced during ITV’s Strictly The Real Full Monty.
Christine, who herself received an autism and ADHD diagnosis in 2021, revealed that she’d “just been diagnosed” at the time but hadn’t yet gone public with the news.
Christine was participating in the programme for her mum, who’d recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and “really wanted to do it” but was aware she’d need to perform before an audience and that it would eventually be broadcast on television. She said: “I’m not a performer, I’m not a singer, I’m not an actress; I’m a mum. I’ve done bits of telly, but I’m just me. And I was so scared. I had the biggest meltdown. I was absolutely petrified, and it wasn’t about even the performance side of things.”
What troubled her was not just the audience, but also the “nerves and the anxiety”, and the fear that she would “let everybody down” or “mess it up”. Christine claimed that it’s “quite typical” for “autistic-ADHD females in particular” to be “quite hard on themselves and overthink”, confessing that it had stopped her from pursuing “things that I wanted to do”.
She explained that during production, a week before filming the final dance, she went to watch her children perform in a Nativity play. At this point in the podcast, Christine could be heard getting emotional as she said: “I’m very proud of them. For three years before that Nativity, they could not sit in the assembly. They would come in the room; they’d last a couple of minutes, and they’d leave. They’d be fidgeting; they’d be upset.
And this time, they rose up on the stage and performed and performed and remembered everything and smiled, and I just thought, “Wow,” you know? They are carrying it out. They can do it, so I must do it. “Christine characterized her children as her” biggest inspiration” and how she needed to set a role model for others.
She claimed that they were observing her and that they wanted to know that she had friends, drives, and is independent. They were the ones who taught her to “not be scared,” Christine continued.
Paddy and Christine revealed they were going their separate ways in June 2022 after 11 years of marriage, though they carried on sharing a home for the sake of their kids.
Following some some turbulent years, Christine opened up to the Mirror last October about how she was now “feeling really good”. Chatting on the Pride of Britain red carpet, Christine acknowledged she’d endured a “difficult” year.
The former model admitted in a private conversation that she had just “just come off my medication.”
She stated, “I’m feeling really good right now.” Due to the recent medical clearance I received this year, it has been challenging. I’ve been taking ADHD medication for the past year because I was “just unable to cope.”
Between the divorce and the attention that was given to my personal life and dating, she continued, “It was quite a lot.”
Christine continued, “I’m constantly thinking about my kids and how this [fame] will impact them. I had to consider whether I’m in the right industry or if I can continue.
Christine acknowledged in other comments that she loved the sector, but that when she considered her children and “how much the public attention will be having on their lives,” she occasionally wondered if “it’s the right thing to do.”

Liam Payne’s former girlfriend Kate Cassidy has shared unseen footage of the late One Direction star – and shared a heartbreaking update on social media. The young couple dated for two years until Liam’s tragic death at the age of 31 in October 2024.
In the run up to Christmas, Kate, 26, reminisced about the singer as she shared some of her favourite festive-linked memories of him. Taking to TikTok, the model recalled that Liam would order gingerbread men around Christmas time which they would then enjoy together.
Sharing footage of herself in a kitchen, Kate told viewers: “He’d always get so many gingerbread cookies and they were always so weird looking, with one eye up high and another down by it’s leg.” And she went on to share previously unseen footage of them enjoying the cookies together.

The video clip showed Kate and Liam in bed, with the singer branding the gingerbread biscuits as “The best ever.” Her footage also showed “the men in question” as a gingerbread man was held up to the camera. The haphazardly cut cookies showed a smiling face with lopsided eyes on the biscuit design, and large bright-coloured sweets acting as buttons in the middle.
On Sunday, Kate took to Instagram to share a short video clip of herself watching the sun setting on the horizon while beside the ocean. Joined by her dog, the model gazed at the light before bending down to stroke and fuss over her pet.
In a poignant, and heartbreaking, message, she wrote a caption declaring: “God said, ‘This year I made you strong, next year I am going to make you happy.'” She added a crossed finger emoji to the post.
Recently, Kate opened up to followers on social media to admit she was still struggling with her grief following Liam’s shock death. The singer fell from the third-floor balcony of a hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Tests later showed he was intoxicated when he fell from the balcony to his death.
Kate has explained that any future partners will have to accept the fact that she will forever love the For You singer. She said in a TikTok video: “I want to make something clear. Whoever I end up with in my future will have to accept the fact I will always love Liam.
“I will always talk about Liam I will always laugh about Liam, I will always cry about Liam.” She continued: “Let me tell you something, Liam Payne was my boyfriend. He wasn’t just this famous figure to me. It hurts so bad because I am just criticised all the time for speaking about my boyfriend that passed away, the person that I loved and still do love.”
She went on: “I would never settle for anyone in this lifetime who did not feel comfortable enough with me speaking about Liam. Liam was a very big part of my life. He was my best friend, somebody I really thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with and, obviously, I know one day I’m going to have to move on. I want to get married one day. I want to have kids.”
She added: “When a person dies, they die twice, once when they actually die and the second time when you stop speaking about them. I’m not going to have Liam die twice on me. I will love him forever.”
Many of Kate’s followers have taken to comment sections of her posts to offer their support and encouragement. One responded to her Instagram sunset post to write: “We are always standing behind you Kate.” And another penned: “Grief is not linear. It’s definitely ok to still feel terribly sad at times. There will also be days where you do feel strong and happy. Take both as they come. Nobody grieves in the same way. Sending you so much love.”
Liam’s family have also been grieving, with his sister, Ruth Gibbins, recently explaining she felt distressed upon learning his former school is to be torn down. She took to social media to explain that she felt like his memory was being dismantled too.
She wrote: “Hearing part of our senior school is being knocked down and having such clear memories of Liam waiting by my locker to ask for money off me all the time, feels like all of him is being removed from the planet, all the places we’ve been are changing and he’s not here to change with him.”
Liam Payne, a former One Direction member, died in October of that year. Kate Cassidy dated him from 2022 until his tragic passing. She has shared a happy memory with him this Christmas.

Kate and Liam were seen in the video clip, and the singer referred to the gingerbread treats as “The best ever.” Additionally, “the men in question” were captured on camera in her footage as a gingerbread man was positioned. Large, bright-colored sweets served as buttons in the middle of the haphazardly cut cookies, which featured a smiling face, lopsided eyes, and a middle-sized, bright-colored cookie design.
On Sunday, Kate took to Instagram to share a short video clip of herself watching the sun setting on the horizon while beside the ocean. Joined by her dog, the model gazed at the light before bending down to stroke and fuss over her pet.
She wrote the phrase “God said, “This year I made you strong, next year I am going to make you happy,” in a moving and heartfelt message. She accompanied the post with an emoji of her cross finger.
Kate recently admitted to her social media followers that she was still grieving following Liam’s shocking passing. The singer allegedly fell from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on the third floor. Later, tests revealed that he had drunk when he fell from the balcony to his death.
Kate has stated that any potential partners will have to accept that the For You singer will be forever in love with her. In a TikTok video, she stated, “I want to make something clear. Who I end up with in the future will have to accept that I will always be in love with Liam.
I’ll always be laughing and crying over Liam, as they say. Let me tell you something: Liam Payne was my boyfriend, she continued. To me, he wasn’t just some well-known person. Because I’m constantly being criticized for talking about my boyfriend who passed away, the person I loved and still do love, it hurts so much.
She continued, “I would never allow anyone to make me feel at ease talking about Liam in this lifetime.” My life depended greatly on Liam. I knew I would spend the rest of my life with my best friend, and I knew I would eventually have to move on. One day, I want to marry. “I want kids.
She continued, “People die twice when they actually pass away, and the second time when you stop talking about them.” I won’t have Liam die twice on me. I’ll have a forever love for him.
Many of Kate’s followers have endorsed and encouraged her on social media by leaving comments on her posts. We are always standing behind you, Kate, wrote one Instagram comment after sunset. Grief is not linear, either. It’s undoubtedly acceptable to experience extreme sadness at times. There will also be times when you experience strong and joy. Take both at once. No one experiences the same kind of grief. I love you so much.
Ruth Gibbins, Liam’s sister, recently expressed her shock at learning that his former school had been torn down, while Liam’s family has also been grieving. She stated on social media that she thought his memory was also being destroyed.
She wrote, “It seems like all of Liam is being removed from the planet, all of our places are changing, and he’s not here with him,” and hearing that part of our senior school is being destroyed and having such vivid memories of him waiting by my locker all the time.
After they sparked outrage at Glastonbury by declaring that IDF soldiers should be killed, Avon and Somerset Police have revealed they won’t be prosecuting Bob Vylan.

After encouraging crowds at the Glastonbury Festival to chant “death, death to the IDF,” the police have confirmed they will refrain from further action against the music duo Bob Vylan. When the music act took to the stage in June, the comments sparked a backlash.
The chant directed by the lead singer, Pascal Robinson-Foster, was performed during the set. The Corporation later apologised for the incident after the BBC allowed the moment to be broadcast.
Following complaints, Avon and Somerset Police agreed to investigate the incident with a criminal investigation launched, headed by a senior detective. But now the police force has announced they will be taking no further action against the performers.

Avon and Somerset Police stated in a statement on Tuesday that “no further action will be taken on the basis that there is insufficient evidence to support a plausible conviction.” This decision was confirmed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), according to a statement released by the Avon and Somerset Police.
The comments made on Saturday, June 28 drew widespread outcry, according to Avon and Somerset Police, demonstrating that words have real-world effects. We think it is appropriate that this issue was thoroughly investigated, that every potential criminal offense was thoroughly investigated, and that we sought out every possible counsel to ensure that we made an informed choice.
Since this incident, we have actively spoken with a number of groups, particularly in our Jewish communities, and kept them informed throughout the entire statement. This has always been our top priority, and it has continued to do so with the announcement of this investigative outcome.
We incredibly value having that candid discussion, which will allow us to offer any support or reassurance needed. A man in his mid-thirties was reportedly interviewed by the police on a voluntary basis over the incident in November, and he was given details on Tuesday.
In July, Avon and Somerset Police shared the details of its initial inquiries with the CPS and sought legal counsel regarding a number of crimes. Before a performance from Belfast rap trio Kneecap, who were also subject to police investigation for comments made on stage, Bob Vylan, who are known for writing songs that criticize the British establishment, performed on the West Holts Stage.
Avon and Somerset Police stated in July that it would “no longer take action” against the Irish language group because there was “insufficient evidence” to support a “realistic chance of conviction for any offence.
Following Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury appearance, the duo were dropped from a number of festivals and performances including Radar festival, a show at a German music venue, and a US tour after their visas were revoked. In October, British Airways paused their sponsorship of the Louis Theroux Podcast following an interview with Robinson-Foster, which saw him say he was “not regretful” of the chant and would “do it again tomorrow”.
In November the Metropolitan Police said they would close their own investigation into a London performance, following advice from the CPS. The investigation was launched by police after footage emerged allegedly showing singer Bobby Vylan saying “death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)” at a performance supporting singer Iggy Pop at Alexandra Palace in May.
We recognize the strong public opinion about remarks made during Bob Vylan’s performance at the Glastonbury Festival in June, particularly among the Jewish community. Avon and Somerset Police received early investigative advice regarding what evidence might be required to pass the legal test for charging, but we were not asked to make a charging decision in this case.
Avon and Somerset Police stated that they had evaluated a number of offences and that they had to prove them, but they had no way of knowing whether there was enough evidence to support a conviction.

She described the runway experience as “very different now” and said, “I did find the confidence I didn’t have last year.”

An expert has warned that Cruz Beckham’s outburst may have consequences as he breaks his silence on the family feud between Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham.

As the Beckham feud continues, youngest son Cruz Beckham has broken his silence with an explosive statement. However, it’s possible that his remark will now “a bad situation worsen.”
In recent days, it was reported that 26-year-old Brooklyn Beckham has unfollowed his parents David and Victoria Beckham, with them unfollowing him in return. Hitting back, Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz, 20, took to Instagram Stories, insisting; “NOT TRUE. My mum and dad would never unfollow their son… Let’s get the facts right. They woke up blocked… as did I.”
It comes amid an ongoing rift, with photographer-turned-chef Brooklyn and his actress wife Nicola Peltz Beckham said to have gone ‘no contact’ with the Beckhams. So far, David and Victoria have kept quiet on the matter, with only Cruz’s claim shedding light on what’s really going on behind the walls of Beckingham Palace. But could his public clarification do more harm than healing?

“Cruz’s position in this tragic family rift is an understandable one but Victoria and David will also very likely be attuned to the fact that it risks making a bad situation worse,” body language and communications expert Judi James told the Mirror.
“Parents do need to keep a dignified silence when there’s a problem in the family and an estrangement from a much-loved son, as there sadly appears to be with this scenario. They will understand that circumstances can change, just like they will all parents, and that parental love is unconditional.
If Brooklyn needs a door, it must be kept open to provide an open, loving, and unjudged return. As agonising as it might be to hear or read speculation or even accusations in public, any negative response will only make any reconcilliation less likely. In such a situation, parents must display complete loyalty and wisdom.
What’s the connection between Brooklyn and his little brother, though? Cruz, in particular, seems to have been keenly affected by the seismic split in the once unified family. The rest of the Beckham clan will spend the holidays at Victoria and David’s Cotswolds home, according to reports that Brooklyn will spend the holidays in the Miami mansion he shares with his actress wife Nicola and her parents.
Last week Cruz sent a subtle sign to his estranged brother that he’d like them to make peace. Clearly missing his big brother, he took to Instagram to share a throwback snap of the pair along with Romeo on a beach in Brazil. It showed budding chef Brooklyn with his arm around Cruz as they struck a pose on the sand. The weekend before, Cruz shared a sweet home video clip of the pair as children and previously shared a family photo of himself, Brooklyn, Romeo and their dad during a 2021 holiday, alongside the caption: ‘Love you guys @davidbeckham @brooklynbeckham @romeobeckham.’
Cruz has been the one to speak out despite his heartbreaking desire. When he said, “The truth will unfold,” was the phrase that was being addressed by the feud, it was widely believed.” “The lyrics featured in the post included:” Love you, I love you / Love you, I love you / Love you, I love you / Love you, I love you / And in the end / The love you take / Is equal to the love you make. “
In June, he also appeared to take a swing at his brother’s numerous careers. One follower responded, “Would you stick with this job or will you become a race car driver next or something,” while promoting a snippet of his track For ya love on his TikTok page. “Cruz was quick to retort with:” Wrong brother mate. “
Cruz responded, “He has the talent of an average teenage boy who just started learning guitar,” to which Cruz replied, “It’s easy to comment on TikTok, don’t you care what you think, darling?”
A perceived jab also came in September when Brooklyn represented Europe in the Ryder Cup’s Celebrity Match at Bethpage Black. Cruz re-posted a meme video of a man excitedly saying: “Gosh I’m just fired up to be today.” Alongside the meme, the caption read: “The one friend who sucks at golf but comes for the vibes.” Above the post, Cruz added: “That’s me”.
It was Cruz who set the record straight when it was briefed that Nicola and Brooklyn swerved David’s 50th celebrations because of Romeo’s girlfriend, Kim Turnbull. Kim and Brooklyn were previously alleged to have had a sexual relationship, which made things awkward for the couple. Cruz responded, saying that they “never dated” on social media.
Kim later claimed she was embarrassed by the lies and was unable to remain silent. Kim fired from Instagram, saying, “I’ve avoided speaking on this subject to stop the fire, but it’s come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on.
She continued:” I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative. I have never had romantic relationships with the person I’m dating. At the age of 16, there was nothing more than a school friendship. I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved. “
And Judi thinks Cruz’ outspoken handling of the conflict is the result of his desire to “protect” his beloved mother. Less pressure is felt by siblings frequently. A parent will feel loyalty to all their children but siblings rarely feel quite so prone to being open-minded and forgiving, especially if they’re witnessing the upset the stray sibling is causing to the people they love the most, ie their mum and dad, “she says.
Cruz might find it simple to get angry at his mother, especially if he first notices her distress. He will probably see any ‘ setting the record straight ‘ as being totally justified which, in many ways it is. Even close siblings frequently engage in power struggles and quarrels, and parents typically act as intermediaries, but Cruz seems to want to protect his parents.
“If the conflict between the siblings starts, it will be more difficult to elude any return to Brooklyn’s fold,” said Victoria and David. It’s a similar but obviously not the same problem that Charles must now have with William and Harry. The devoted son who has remained with his or her parents might unintentionally or wittingly create a “He or I” situation. No parent wants to make a decision. If the rift between the siblings deepens and lasts longer the parents might find themselves unable to reconcile the entire family again.
The Royals might be a perfect illustration of how, in a conflict between siblings rather than sibling/parents, the chances of accepting the returning sibling and maintaining the “loyal” one happy can get more and more distant with time.
Brooklyn’s chances of returning to normal are slim right now, as he reportedly blocked his entire family due to his and Nicola’s social media posts.
Taking to Instagram last Wednesday, footballing legend David shared a snap of himself, Victoria, Romeo, Cruz and Harper celebrating his MLS title in Miami – but also included a throwback snap in the same post of David with Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz after winning that same cup as a player with LA Galaxy, in 2011 and 2012.
He named it “Limit to cry,” as he celebrated becoming the first player to win the MLS Cup both as a Los Angeles Galaxy player and owner.
At the end of November, Brooklyn’s grandmother Jackie, who spent a lot of time with him as a baby and toddler when his famous parents worked away, also seemed to be sending her grandson a message to build bridges and come home for Christmas.
Brooklyn’s own personalized red stocking hangs from her fireplace, which she and her daughter Victoria shared, and she shared a sweet festive photo. His stocking was shared by Victoria’s younger sister Louise and her ex-husband, Darren Flood, along with Romeo, Cruz, and Harper, as well as all of their cousins, Liberty, Tallulah, Finlay, and Quincy. Captioning the video, the fashion designer wrote: ‘ So many grandchildren! ‘
The Instagram content is just a media play, according to an unnamed “friend” who spoke to the Daily Mail. Brooklyn and Nicola are only made to feel more distant by it. They get upset by the speculation. They are attempting to take the dangerous path of living simply by themselves.
