The pictures come after Christine’s highly publicised split from ex-husband Paddy McGuinness, 49. The couple confirmed their split back in July. They confirmed that they had been separated for some time by that stage, despite continuing to live as a family in their Cheshire home.

The 34 year old model has been quiet since Friday but broke her silence on Monday December 5. McGuinness shared an image of two of her children helping decorate the tree via Instagram when she shared a story captioned: "2 of my 3 little helpers are ready!"

She later showed all three of her kids helping out saying: "I feel like the luckiest lady one earth right now. Dreams do come true," before adding three love heart emojis.

Christine is mum to three children, six year old Felicity and eight year old twins, Leo and Penelope, with ex Paddy McGuinness.
