Paddy, 44, was seen happily scoffing a sweet treat as he walked along side his model wife, 29, who was smiling as she chatted with her husband.

The couple looked happy and relaxed as they enjoyed their stroll, and Paddy couldn't keep his eyes off the former Miss Liverpool.

It is the first time the couple have seen looking like their old selves since The Sun On Sunday revealed Paddy had enjoyed a night out with the All Saints singer.

Christine was at home looking after their three kids at the time, and his antics left their marriage hanging in the balance.

Despite early reports suggesting that Christine and Paddy had parted ways, it's since been revealed that Paddy has won back Christine’s trust.

They are now giving their marriage another go, and despite a frosty start, they appear to be getting their relationship back on track.

A source close to them both told The Sun on Sunday: “Things were really not good between the couple up until early last week and friends were left fearing for their marriage.

“They have had some very heated and emotional arguments over the last couple of weeks and Paddy obviously had a lot of explaining to do to Christine.
