When Vernon Kay and Paddy McGuinness appeared on Gogglebox, they had a surprising celebrity crush, but Vernon’s confession caused him to change his tune.
Paddy McGuinness has revealed his unexpected celebrity crush. The funnyman and former Top Gear host, 51, made the shock confession during an episode of Celebrity Gogglebox.
Paddy was appearing on the popular Channel 4 reality TV show alongside pal Vernon Kay. The pair were watching an episode of Celebrity Bridge when Countdown star Rachel Riley appeared on the screen.
The math genius then admitted to Paddy that he was having a crush that he wasn’t supposed to. He exclaimed, “There’s something about Rachel Riley.” What exactly is it? You are aware of having an unrequited celebrity crush?
And Vernon made a point about a feature he believed would turn Paddy off the blonde star. The radio host informed his friend that “she’s a United fan.”
“Oh I’ve gone right off her!” a shocked Paddy responded. His confession came as it was claimed his ex-wife Christine McGuinness had exchanged flirty texts with Dan Osborne.
Although the conversations weren’t reportedly romantic, it was reported that the couple reportedly offered each other comfort as they dealt with their marital issues.
After 11 years of marriage, Christine and Paddy divorced in 2022. To co-parent their three children, they remained together.
Dan, meanwhile, recently went on a make-or-break holiday with wife Jacqueline Jossa. The couple who tied the knot in 2017 announced they were splitting in March after months of speculation. Despite their joint statement they appeared to be willing to give things another go.
It’s believed that Christine and Dan’s exchange occurred as they forged stronger bonds and found solace in one another’s circumstances. They first spoke for a brief moment in 2019 and are said to have sporadically stayed in touch over the years.
They stayed in touch occasionally and would bump into each other at events, according to a source who spoke to the Sun earlier this week. Some of the people seen by friends in common.
She would refer to him as “D,” and it became known in their circles as “D.” Although it’s not suggested that there was anything sexual there, it’s fair to say there was a spark between them.
She reaffirmed to the insider that nothing sexual happened between them. She could chat to anyone she wanted, and she was completely single at the time.
Dan, a 33-year-old TOWIE star, argued that the pair had no romantic ties. Dan is devoted to Jacqueline and would hate any suggestion of impoliteness, according to a friend of the reality star. It’s true that a man and a woman could be mates, of course.
