Christine McGuinness’ marriage to Paddy rocked after she was told he ‘cheated on her with TV star’
CHRISTINE McGuinness’s marriage to husband Paddy was rocked after she was told he had cheated on her with a telly star.
The ex-model, 34, found out about an alleged snog as she took part in ITV2 show The Games in April.
Paddy, 48, is said to have kissed the star last year after a TV show appearance.
A source on celebrity athletics contest The Games told The Sun on Sunday: “Everyone was talking about it.
“The crew all knew about the Paddy rumours, and there they were, now working really closely with Christine.
“It was one of those shows where everyone bonded and everyone loved Christine.

“Paddy wasn’t around at all during The Games and the more people got to know Christine, the more they felt she deserved to know what he’d been up to.
“A number of them told her about the kiss and that he’d been unfaithful. She was very hurt and upset.”
It comes after Christine opened up to The Sun on Sunday’s Fabulous magazine about her marriage woes.
In extracts printed in last week’s newspaper, she admitted that she and Paddy were going through a “very, very difficult time”.

In June, he went away with pals to Portugal before Christine joined female friends including new bestie Chelcee Grimes, 30, in Croatia.
And this month the McGuinnesses were seen having a row in a car.
Talking to Fabulous, mum-of-three Christine says: “I can’t deny we are having a very, very difficult time.
“What I might have put up with in the past, I probably wouldn’t put up with now, and the same for him.

"We are gonna have ups and downs, but this situation at the minute — I don’t want to go into it too much — but I will just say that I didn’t cause this situation.”
