Christine McGuinness, a former Celebs Go Dating participant, opened up about her concerns on her Situationships podcast about her prior experiences using dating apps.
Podcast host Christine McGuinness has shared her thoughts on dating apps after revealing that she’s never used one. She’s revealed that she’s concerned over one aspect, which she said she would be “petrified” of.
Christine, 37, has spoken about dating in the years since it was announced that she had split from Paddy McGuinness in 2022. She even briefly took part in the new series of Celebs Go Dating, which is yet to air on E4, and is expected to return in the finale.
She’s now giving fans an insight into her personal life on the new BBC podcast Situationships with Sophie and Christine, which launched earlier this month. Christine co-hosts the newly launched podcast with author Sophie Gravia.
A discussion about dating apps in the first episode saw Christine open up about her concerns. It came after the mention of ‘catfishing’ and Sophie recalling a date with someone who was “not all all” how she had expected them to look based on the photos that had been on his profile.
Christine posed the question, “Do you not think that someone is who they say they are or do you not check that they are?” after revealing that she had never been on a dating app. Sophie, who is currently dating, responded by saying she would never use dating apps and that she had never been.
Then, according to Christine, “I would be terrified of who could show up and who I’m talking to, and yeah, it scares me.” After that, Sophie continued to say, “I think they will become out of fashion.” Everyone is getting tired, in my opinion.
Christine continued, “I think it should come with something like… almost like a TripAdvisor… like a review thing.” Perhaps you’d like to read reviews from other people’s ex-partners or something.
After talking about the subject together, Christine said, “Imagine what other people’s exes would think of them.” She made fun of the fact that “mine, obviously, would all be five star reviews.”
Sophie did, however, acknowledge that some potential partners had different views of her boyfriend. She claimed that the way I’ve behaved in the past toward some people because I don’t necessarily like them was inexact.
It’s a part of the problem, Christine asserted on the podcast. How do you get out of dating and what have you really struggled with, in my opinion? because I wouldn’t want to cause a stir among anyone.
Christine had previously discussed dating in the episode after it was revealed three years ago that she had split from Paddy. It took her a while to even consider dating, she told her co-host Sophie.
Christine described how she first dates someone she had briefly met before “friendships had blurred the lines” and then fell into some “situationships” where “friendships had blurred the lines.” She claimed that they exchanged months of social media content before going on a date. My first true date ever, ever with a person I didn’t know, she said. But I felt at ease after messaging for those months.
