Christine McGuinness kisses BFF Chelcee Grimes after split from husband Paddy McGuinness

Christine McGuinness was seen kissing her best friend Chelcee Grimes during a trip to Winter Wonderland.

The 34-year-old and husband Paddy McGuinness recently announced they decided to part ways after 11 years of marriage.

And now that she's single for the first time in a long time, Christine has been hanging out a lot more with pal Chelcee - who she became close to on The Games earlier this year.

The duo were seen at the Christmas festival in London sharing a tender kiss while sitting on a bench enjoying drinks. Christine and Chelcee were low-key with their outing and seemed inseparable.

A witness revealed: “It was a sweet moment between Christine and Chelcee as they sat on a bench outside and enjoyed live music.

According to the onlooker, the duo were 'all smiles' as they walked around the wonderland 'hand-in-hand'.

"But they didn’t seem to have a care in the world and looked like they were in their own little bubble, it was cute," they told The Sun.

The Mirror has contacted Christine and Chelcee's reps for a comment.

Their outing comes after it was reported the two grew close following Christine's split from Paddy.

Christine and Chelcee recently jetted off to Crete for a little vacation and sources claimed they have been hanging out 'a lot' at home.

Christine and Chelcee's friendship first began when they both appeared on the show The Games together earlier this year.

In September this year, shortly after Paddy and Christine's shock announcement, Chelcee - who once dated Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson - joined Christine on a mini-break in Santorini, with the pair also enjoying a trip to Croatia with pals over the summer.

"Christine and Chelcee hit it off straight away and love spending time with each other," a source close to the two stars has said.

"They have just enjoyed another sun-filled break together but also hang out a lot at home."

The source added how Chelcee will regularly visit Christine's house when their schedules allow it and has been a great support to the star following her marriage split.
