Exes Paddy McGuinness and Christine McGuinness are said to be struggling to sell the mansion that they share. It comes following reports earlier this year that Christine’s been “desperate” to sell the property to start afresh elsewhere.

The couple’s marriage ended in 2022, according to Paddy, 51, and Christine, 37, who have three children. While co-parenting in recent years, the former couple have continued to live together in the family’s Cheshire home.

Earlier this year though, it was reported that they had put the seven-bedroom house on the market for £6.5 million. It’s now claimed that there has been “very little interest” in the property

The property, which includes a gym and other features, is understood to have been on the market for four months. According to the Sun, it’s considered expensive even for the area and a source said that the market seems “a bit flat”.

There has been little interest in the property, a source told the outlet. It is a lovely home with all the modern conveniences. Although it appears the market is currently a little flat, Prestbury’s house is the most expensive on Rightmove.

When Paddy and Christine announced their split in 2022, after 11 years of marriage, they had agreed to live together. They stated in their statement that “we’ll always be a loving family, we’ll still have a great relationship, and we’ll still live happily together in our family home.”

Since then, the former couple have discussed co-parenting at the same house. In an episode that was aired in March while on the Shizzio Show, she provided details about how the couple lived there.

Christine claimed that they were “separate” residents of the house. We were separated three years ago, she said, and we live separately in a separate home but share a family home.

There has previously been speculation that she’s keen to sell the property though. That same month, it was reported that the Real Housewives of Cheshire star was feeling “utterly miserable” over continuing to live with her ex.

A source had told the Daily Mail that she couldn’t continue living with him. They told the outlet: “Christine is at the end of her tether and can’t carry on living with Paddy.”

The source continued to make claims that she intended to invest in smaller properties in the future. She vowed to split the sale of the home, so she can live happily with their three children.

P Diddy lawyer reveals disgraced star’s comeback plan despite being jailed

According to his attorney, Sean “Diddy Combs” is said to be planning a massive musical comeback when he is released from prison. Before his sentence has been confirmed, the claim is made.

P Diddy is already planning a comeback tour, his lawyer has claimed. The disgraced music mogul, real name Sean Combs, is said to be working on a return to the stage once he is released from prison.

Diddy, 55, was denied bail on Monday as the rapper awaits his sentencing on prostitution-related charges. A jury found the rapper guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution last month,

However, he was cleared of the most serious charges in his criminal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

The star is still plotting his comeback path, but it seems the findings aren’t stopping him. Diddy wants to arrange a performance at Madison Square Garden following his release, according to his attorney, Marc Agnifilo.

He explained that the Bad Boy Records founder is looking forward to being reunited with his family when he is released in a conversation with Jericka Duncan on CBS Mornings. He later stated, “He’s going to be back at Madison Square Garden, and I promised to be there.”

Diddy’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for October 3. He still faces up to 20 years in prison for the two counts he has been convicted of, according to Assistant US Attorney Maurene Comey.

As the jury delivered their verdict last month, the musician dropped to his knees with his head in his hands as claps and cheers broke out around the courtroom.

The judge rejected the motion this week and stated that Diddy “failed to satisfy his burden by presenting an application for release on a $50 million bail.”

Attorney Marc Agnifilo

Diddy’s defense attorney argued that the star would “sleep well” in jail after being found guilty in court.

This is a huge win, lawyer Anna Estevao declared to reporters in the middle of the case in July. He will be able to sleep soundly at night knowing that he was found guilty of sex trafficking and of the RICO conspiracy.

Cassie Ventura, her ex-girlfriend, and another woman referred to as Jane were cleared of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges last month.

However, he was found guilty of violating the Mann Act on two federal prostitution-related charges.

According to Cornell Law School, the Mann Act, a federal law passed in 1910, “criminalizes the transportation of any woman or girl for the purposes of prostitution, debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose.” James R. Mann, the representative from Illinois, is the name of it.

Kelly Clarkson has had to postpone a number of concerts last minute after making a sad family announcement. The former American Idol winner made the tough call on Wednesday evening as she told fans her Las Vegas residency was being cancelled throughout August.

The 43-year-old Because of You singer started her residency at Caesars Palace last month, but she needs to postpone the offerings for this month. She just learned that Brandon Blackstock, her ex-husband and the father of her children, is ill.

The duo share two children together, River Rose, 11, and son Remington Alexander, nine. Kelly and Brandon called time on their marriage in 2020, finalising their divorce two years later.

Taking to Instagram to share the news, Kelly wrote: “Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas..

Although I typically maintain my private life, I noticed that my children’s father has been ill this year, so I need to be there for them at this time. I apologize sincere to everyone who purchased tickets for the performances, and I so appreciate your patience, understanding, and understanding.

Her followers responded to her situation with well-wishes in the comments section. That generation needs you more than we do, a user wrote. Be your best mother, mama! Best wishes to everyone involved.

Debbie Gibson, a singer with Debbie, added: “Priorities. I want to be with you and your family. Sending you and your family love and prayers for healing, said fashion designer Michael Costello.

Although there hasn’t been any official notification regarding the rescheduled dates, Ticketmaster does have 2026 dates listed on its website right now.

The cancellations come just one month after Kelly was forced to change earlier schedules. Kelly made the announcement on July 4 that she was taking a brief break from her residency to “protect myself” on the stage.

She stated in a statement at the time, “My voice has been put to a lot by the preparation and rehearsals.” I need to take a break from the show to ensure that we can deliver what you all deserve, but I also need to protect myself from doing serious harm. The performance is truly incredible.

When she addressed the issue on her return to her The Kelly Clarkson Show a week later, she addressed it. The actress apologized in a video shared on TikTok. Sometimes our bodies can’t be helped. We all get sick, you know, and that’s what happens.

“But I appreciate you showing up. We’re so excited. Because I enjoy being in the studio, this residency and my favorite show have ever been produced.
