Christine McGuinness goes on holiday alone after Paddy split

Christine McGuinness has treated herself to a trip away after confirming her separation from husband Paddy McGuinness.

The former Miss Liverpool posed during the sunset on a beach in Devon. Wearing a small black bikini, the 33-year-old looked incredible.

In a reel shared on Instagram, Christine smiled for the camera, stretched in front of the sunset and arranged some pebbles into the shape of a heart with a "C" in the middle.

Christine and Paddy issued a lengthy statement last month declaring their pair had called it quits after an 11-year marriage. In a post to Instagram, Christine said: "We hadn't planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but after the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify.

"A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus as always is to continue loving and supporting our children. This was not an easy decision to make but we’re moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children. We’ll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together.

"We hope this now draws a line under anymore unwanted and unnecessary intrusion into our private life. Although we work in the public eye we ask kindly if you could respect our wishes for privacy on this matter. We’ll be making no further comment. Loads of love. Paddy & Christine."

Reflecting on her time in Devon, Christine has now said she feels "blessed" to have taken some time out for herself. She said it has "reminded her how temporary time is and how precious life is".

Captioning the post on Instagram, she also said: "Solo sunsets are a healer. My passion lead me to peace. Grateful for this night."

Fans were quick to wish the star well. Rebecca Allen said: "Beautiful angel". Emma Ellicott said: "Life is too short, be happy and enjoy being you x"

Janet Battersby said: "Keep smiling, enjoy peace and tranquillity, you're a beautiful lady xxx"
