Christine mcGuinness has set the record straight after rumours surfaced that she had joined exclusive dating app Raya.
Raya is a private, membership-based, social network application for hopeful lovers, and in order to join, you have to be a celebrity or be in the public eye.
While several famous faces have been spotted on the app, including Sam Fender, John Mayor, Channing Tatum, and Rita Ora, Christine, 34, has insisted that she has never entertained dating apps, and the profile that has been spotted, wasn't set up by her.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star, who spit from her husband Paddy McGuinness, 49, earlier this year after 11 years of marriage, insisted that dating apps are not her thing, as she detailed her worst date scenarios.
Returning to Instagram after a few days offline over Christmas, Christine addressed the rumours after she revealed that her Instagram has been 'blowing up' with date offers ever since.
"Hey everyone, I hope you’re all good. I’ve had a couple of days off Instagram over Christmas which has done me so much good," the blonde beauty started.
"I just wanted to come on quickly. First of all, quite important, I’ll try and be quick with this because I feel a bit awkward about it.
"There is a data website called Raya which is known for like, celebrities and artists and people with a profile to be using this dating website to meet up.
"I’ve had lots of messages the last couple of days, but especially this morning, and the messages I’m getting are off people with blue ticks, so I do believe there’s a profile of me on Raya, the dating website."
"It’s not me, it’s definitely not me," Christine confirmed.
Christine added that she has ‘nothing against dating websites’ but personally has ‘never used one.’
"I wouldn’t even know where to start. I’m sure they’re a great place for people to meet up and get in touch. But, I just don’t want anyone to go and meet up with somebody and think that it’s me you’re gonna meet on the date," she clarified.
The newly-single star went on to encourage those hoping to take her on a date to be more ‘original’ when sliding into her DMs.
"Try and be a bit more original or exciting with your date offers. I mean, I’m not an expert, I haven’t really dated, but I don’t really like going to restaurants. I’ve had loads of, “Can I take you for dinner?”, I don’t like going to restaurants where I don’t know them or I don’t know what’s on the menu," she shared.
"I don’t really like eating with people I’m not comfortable with, that would just be my worst idea of a first date. Also, “Can I take you for a drink?”, do a bit of research on the person! I haven’t drank for 15 years, I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t wanna go for a drink with you.’
"So, anyway, it’s not me. But, good luck with your dates!’, she signed off with a chuckle."
