Christine McGuinness will reunite with Paddy at Christmas – and reveals why they haven’t told their kids they’ve split
thesun.co.ukCHRISTINE McGuinness and estranged husband Paddy will spend Christmas at home together with their kids. The former couple, who remain friends, announced their split in the summer after 15 years together.
