Christine McGuinness shares some of the sleazy messages she receives online
and live on Freeview channel 276
36-year-old model turned TV personality Christine is currently single, having split from comedian Paddy McGuinness in 2022, after fifteen years together.
Earlier this month, the mum-of-three - who most recently appeared on the BBC shows Antiques Roadshow and Pilgrimage - revealed that she is currently celibate in a podcast with former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews.

Hide AdSpeaking on the podcast, called ‘Big Fish’, Christine explained: “I want to focus on me. I’ve got three little children, I’m a mum and I love being a mum and I just want to spend as much time with my children as possible.
“I’m also quite realistic about what I can and can’t do and I don’t want to put myself in a position where I’m spending time with someone and it may develop into a relationship and I’m not quite ready for that. So I think it’s kinder and better for everyone for me to just go ‘okay this isn’t for me right now’ and to give myself that time and enjoy giving myself that time because it’s not something I’ve had before. I met my ex-husband when I was 19.”
Now in a new Instagram story shared to her 743k followers yesterday, Christine revealed that her celibacy line has prompted some rather unwelcome messages from strangers online hoping to woo her.
Alongside screenshots of the messages, Christine wrote: “No no nooo ... These DMs are actually lovely compared to what I used to get! But I'm not looking for greener grass, I'm happy just watering my own for now.”
