Speaking on the latest episode of The Shizzio Show, Christine said the one rule she has is that he cannot bring women back to their family home.
During the same interview, 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”.
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”.
