Christine McGuinness has revealed that she intends to write a tell-all memoir about her experiences. The model hopes to reveal personal details to her fans.
Christine is no stranger to writing about her life, having previously published an autobiography that hit shelves in 2021. She has now confirmed she’s considering crafting a follow-up book, describing it as a heartfelt tribute to those who have stood by her.
Her initial memoir covered her journey up to the time of publication, chronicling her path to fame and her romance with Take Me Out personality Paddy McGuinness. However, much has changed for the star after her separation from the television host, as well as her navigating her recent autism diagnosis.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Christine shared, “I did an autobiography about four years ago and some big things have happened since then. It would be amazing to do a second one; I can write about what happened next – I love writing.”
In a book, Christine has had plenty to talk about despite going through some significant life changes in the last four years. She continued, “I’ve never written about having autism and ADHD.” That area of my life and other things can be covered in another article.
She’s also expected to reveal details about her recent breakup with husband Paddy and also discuss her recent breakup with his wife. She vows to keep her distance and that she needs to reveal everything about her turbulent past four years.
It’s amazing to be able to write an autobiography, she continued. You must be open and private when doing one. You must accept it. Prior to this interview, Christina discussed her romantic relationship with Paddy, who she had a happy 11-year marriage to.
She admitted to struggling with guilt over the breakup on Celebs Go Dating, but she claimed she had come to the point where “enough was enough.”
She said, “Anyone can make mistakes, but I think the trust was broken,” which suggested Paddy may have been acting improperly. She continued, “I’ll always love him, because I think he’s the only man I’ll ever love,” adding, “I’ll always love him. He’s the father of my children.”
Christine also recently opened up on her diagnosis with Raynaud’s disease, the mum-of-three said she first noticed something was wrong at the beginning of the year when she’d struggled to do up her kids’ uniforms, as her hands unexpectedly seized up.

The former model explained to Mail Online that “when it happens, sometimes I have no choice but to stop what I’m doing until my hands recover, which can be very challenging when I try to balance work commitments and family life.”
As the BBC show gets underway, one celebrity traitor star’s fame has increased, and they are currently in talks for a significant new agreement that would give them access to a private chat show.

BBC bosses are reportedly lining up a substantial deal with Celebrity Traitors star Alan Carr, as his popularity with audiences continues to soar while the show airs, with other production companies also expressing interest.
Nearly a decade ago, Alan’s Channel 4 series, Chatty Man, was a hit with viewers. The star is now thought to be in early talks with the BBC for a new talk show. Several production companies are also thought to be interested in a show alongside his fellow traitor, Jonathan Ross.
“Alan is a natural raconteur, and viewers are getting to see him at his absolute best,” said an insider. He could attract a few big names on his show because of his excellent likeability and incredible contacts book.

The BBC is “keen to keep their stand-out Traitors’ asset,” according to the source, adding that Alan’s agent has been buried in offers and show ideas over the past few days.
The BBC are keen to keep their stand-out Traitors asset because his agent has received a lot of offers and ideas over the past ten days. Although Wossy has only recently signed a one-year extension to his own chat show, it seems unlikely that anyone else would have an interest in that,” they told The Sun.
The BBC has unquestionably enjoyed Celebrity Traitors. More than 12 million viewers tuned in for the first episode, and at least 15 million tuned in for the final. Its numbers place it at the top of the BBC’s top unscripted program list for the first time since 2022, surpassing Strictly Come Dancing, which has the same number of episodes as it does now.
After being chosen as a traitor in the first episode, Alan has grown to be a top fan. Many initially believed him to be a terrible traitor, and Alan himself claimed to be the worst person to have ever performed in an opera during the previous season before quickly revealing herself to be a traitor.
Likewise, Alan very loudly spoke about being a Traitor in the first few episodes and had to be told off by Cat Burns for almost giving them away.
Fans, however, have said they enjoyed his antics and that despite his lack of subtlety, he was actually playing a good game. On X, a fan wrote, “We joked about Alan Carr being a s*** traitor, but PLOT TWIST I genuinely think he’s doing the best job of all three so far.
One viewer described Alan’s time on the program as the “best thing” of 2025. Can we all agree that casting Alan Carr as a Traitor this year is the best thing to have ever done?

Another person shared a photo of Alan wearing a lantern and his traitor’s robe. The caption reads, “Alan Carr being chosen as a traitor, leading to this legendary image might be my single greatest achievement to date.”
Alan already has a BBC show, as he hosts a travelogue with Amanda Holden. The show has three seasons under its belt, in which they’ve jetted off to two places in Italy and one in Spain. It has been recommissioned for a fourth series, which will take them to Greece.
Due in large part to the taxman, Joey Essex Management Ltd. has been forced into liquidation. Accounting now looks into the company director.

Joey Essex is owed money, according to documents obtained by The Mirror.
Joey Essex is being probed over the collapse of his management firm. The former TOWIE favourite’s firm has been forced into liquidation after failing to pay huge debts of £1.2m, mostly due to the taxman.
Accounting firms looking into Joey Essex Management Ltd. say they will now look into company director Joey in new documents sent to Companies House.
The Liquidators will now be required to look into the affairs of the Company to assess its assets and liabilities and identify any actions that might result in the liquidation’s ability to recover funds, according to the documents.

According to the Company Directors Disqualification Act, “We are also required to take into account the conduct of the Company’s director and to submit an appropriate, confidential submission to the Insolvency Service.”
Joey, 35, is the company’s only director and shareholder. He set it up in 2011 when he joined Towie. He has banked millions from other shows, including Educating Joey Essex, Celebs Go Dating, Dancing on Ice and Love Island.
The firm had cash and assets of almost £1m just two years ago. Now the outfit is being wound up by a liquidator who has revealed debts racked up by his business include £30,449 in VAT, £9,552 in PAYE, £402,302 in corporation tax, £15,000 to trade and expense creditors, and a £39,942 Covid bounce back loan. In total, the debt to creditors stands at £497,246. But Joey’s director’s loan account is also overdrawn by £780,000.
The report added that £350,000 of the cash has now been repaid to the firm’s coffers. Last August Joey signed a Declaration of Solvency document stating the company would pay back its debts back in full within a year. The reality star, who is trying his hand at boxing, was last month announced to appear on Gary Lineker ’s upcoming ITV gameshow The Box.
Through his agent, we reached out to Joey for a comment.
In March, he shut down another business, The Top TT Limited. He set it up in 2023, but it never filed accounts. He recently switched to boxing, which may help pay off his debts.
He landed a reported £500,000 pay day for his maiden fight. However his dream boxing debut could be under threat after his opponent announced plans to appeal the result. He stepped into the ring for the first time last month for the latest Misfits event.
On August 30 in Manchester, the TV personality defeated Portuguese influencer Numeiro to earn points. In the fourth and fifth rounds, Essex even overcame a standing count to claim the victory.
In a surprising twist, Numeiro revealed that he intends to appeal the outcome a few weeks after the fight. IFL TV’s Joao Barbosa, 27, said, “I really don’t want to cause any trouble, sound rude, or do anything wrong.
However, every time I rewatch a fight, every time I speak with a professional, a coach, a referee, a professional athlete, I always receive the same comments. That “could have never happen (Essex winning),” the thought came to mind. I don’t believe we would have gotten into a fight if they had given us a draw. From my point of view, it’s still unfair, but it’s undoubtedly not a loss.

Although it has been suggested, Barbosa insists that their first fight is more about getting a fair result. He wants a rematch to take place outside of the UK, if it ever occurs.
Prince Andrew has abandoned the use of his royal titles, but he has remained faithful to many of his royal duties, which harmed his nephew Prince Harry.

Harry revealed true feelings about Andrew scandal(Image: WPA Pool/Getty Images)
Despite the scandal surrounding Prince Andrew for many years, most of the Royal Family have never commented publicly on his fall from grace – except Prince Harry.
known for being open about his thoughts on the state of affairs with his royal family and how the monarchy has treated his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, poorly. Harry revealed that when his disgraced uncle was permitted to keep the royal heirlooms that had been unjustly raped on Harry and Meghan, he was quite angry.
The late Queen stripped Andrew of his royal patronages, honorary military posts, and police security in 2022 when Virginia Giuffre received the verdict in a US civil lawsuit brought by her accuser. King Charles allegedly stopped this practice in 2024, but Queen Elizabeth reportedly provided private funding for his security. Andrew has unwaveringly refuted the accusations made against him.
When Prince Harry and Meghan decided to step down as working royals, they had initially hoped to still do so on a part-time basis. However, the idea was quickly abandoned. Instead, their taxpayer-funded security was taken away, leaving them feeling like sitting ducks as their borders were rapidly closing in Canada.

Prince Andrew, on the other hand, continued his until 2022, even though he left his official duties in 2019.
Harry has waged a fierce campaign to have his security reinstated when he travels to the UK, contending that Sussexes and private companies he can use to protect him and his family are not fully informed of this information or have proper jurisdiction to keep them safe. He has also asserted numerous times that the threat posed to him, his wife, and their two children is still present because he is no longer a royal working.
The Home Office will make a decision on a case-by-case basis regarding the security arrangements Harry is currently receiving from the police.
Harry fought back after a harrowing multi-year legal battle, but ultimately lost.
The security was so important to him, that he even admitted this year King Charles was not speaking to him over the issue, but he kept the legal challenge going anyway.
He criticized the treatment of his and Meghan in his book Spare, which he claimed was hypocritical in comparison to his uncle Andrew, who had serious allegations that neither the Duke and Duchess of Sussex ever received.
No one had suggested removing his security, despite having been involved in an embarrassing scandal and being accused of sexually abusing a young woman. Although there are many grievances against us, none were sexually repressed.

Harry wrote that Meghan asked him one night in 2020 if he thought their security would be stripped, and he replied, “Never. Not in this climate of hate. Not after what happened to my mother [ Princess Diana ]. Also, not in the wake of my Uncle Andrew.”

As she supports the grieving mother’s campaign to close a deadly legal loophole in domestic violence cases, Spice Girl Mel B tells Prime Minister Keir Starmer what she really, really wants.

A mother whose two children were assassinated by their own father during a court-approved access visit has her support.
The Spice Girl and domestic abuse campaigner has endorsed Claire Throssell’s campaign to change family court guidelines after her sons were killed by her ex-husband when he deliberately set fire to the family home.
“Every day the government drags its heels on this, more and more women suffer – more and more women lose their lives, their kids, their future,” Mel said.
“Keir Starmer promised to do something about the violence against women,” he said in a letter to me. A complete strategy takes time, too. The truth is that survivors of domestic violence and refuges can’t wait for support, which can mean the difference between life and death.
Mel who has previously spoken of her own experience of domestic abuse, added: “Claire is one of the bravest women I know. She campaigns so hard but is living with heartbreak every day as her two sons were killed by her abuser, their own father – we cannot let this happen to anyone else.”
After their evil father, Darren Sykes, lured them to the attic of their family home in Penistone, near Sheffield, their son, Jack, 12, and brother Paul, both 9, died, before igniting the house in October 2014, their evil father put them to sleep in the attic.

After igniting 14 separate fires around the house, he died in the fire but not before making sure his sons wouldn’t survive.
Claire, 53, had repeatedly warned social workers, the courts, and Cafcas – whose role is to represent the interests of children and young people in the family courts – that her abusive ex was capable of murder. Yet he was granted unsupervised access to his months and within months had killed them.
In 2016 Claire started the Child First campaign, supported by Women’s Aid, calling for guidelines in the family courts to be changed. The petition has now received over 110,000 signatures.
The heartbroken mum has now received the support of MPs to end the ‘presumption of contact’ – a family courts guideline that says children should spend time with both parents, even if there is a history of domestic abuse.
In January, Labour MP Marie Tidball, led a debate calling for a change in the law to remove the family court’s presumption of contact.
The family courts were already finding children were being put in danger by the HARM Panel’s report, which was released in 2020.
Another 19 children in England and Wales have been killed by a parent, or parental figure, who was granted access to them despite being the victims of domestic abuse, according to a recent Women’s Aid report.
According to the harrowing Nineteen More Child Homicides report, the oldest child was 11 and the youngest was three-weeks-old. In all but one case, a man killed 15 children by their own fathers, and the killer was a man.
The charity, which tracks child homicides, claims 67 children have died at the hands of perpetrators of domestic abuse over the last 30 years. At the recent Labour Party Conference, Claire called on the Prime Minister, to ‘keep children’ safe’. She was supported by several MPs who have promised to support Claire.
In a bid to overturn the presumption of contact between known domestic abusers and their children, Marie Tidball promised to keep pushing for crucial changes in the family courts. According to her, “MP Matthew Patrick also expressed his support for raising public awareness and educating the public about financial and economic abuse.”
After giving Claire a copy of her book, For My Boys, Alex Davies-Jones MP, the Minister for Victims and Violence Against Women and Girls, gave her a hand. I was invisible, unheard, and unprotected while enduring domestic abuse, according to Claire. In the end, MPs are listening to me because my two gorgeous boys, Jack and Paul, were taken from me in the cruelest of ways.
It means a lot to me, I can’t express in words. Uma Kumara, the Labour MP for Stratford and Bow, promised to order the book, and Emily Darlington MP said she hoped my book would inspire others.
In his final moments, Claire finds strength in reliving Jack’s bravery. She remarked, “In an effort to save Paul’s life, he pulled his brother from the attic hatchway with his strength.” As the fire fighters cradled him in their arms, Jack said, “My dad did this and he did it on purpose.”
Because I never let Paul pass away, my eldest son died believing he had saved his brother’s life.
