Christine McGuinness stuns in skimpy thong as she embraces single life after split from husband Paddy

Model and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine McGuinness has stunned fans by stripping down to a skimpy bikini. It comes after she announced her split from husband Paddy McGuinness in July.

Paddy and Christine announced they were separating after 11 years of marriage at the end of July this year. The couple, who share nine-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and daughter Felicity, six, released a joint statement to clarify the situation after months of speculation they were on the rocks.

They 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."

Now Christine has started to embrace single life. And she looks sizzling.

Revealing she was in Greece, the mum-of-three posted a back shot photo wearing a blue thong bikini as she looked out over the water. Another pic showed her posing in a long khaki halter neck dress with white-washed houses and the sea in the background.

A third saw her make a heart symbol with her hands as she soaked up the sunshine round the pool. “69 hours in Santorini. Siestas and Sunsets is just what I needed,” she captioned the post shared with her 681,000 followers.

Christine added she was feeling “calm, rested, happy, healthy and blessed.” Adding more photos in her Instagram stories, the former Housewives of Cheshire star revealed women’s footballer and singer-songwriter Chelcee Grimes was also on the trip.

The pair, who both starred in ITV reality show The Games together, took snaps as they joined a couple more friends for dinner. Sharing a plane pic as it came to the end of the trip, Christine wrote: “Little mini break for mama. That was a stunning 69 hours in Santorini. Home time.”

Earlier this year, Christine said she “followed her heart” and ended up on another solo holiday to Croatia. Sharing more snaps of her girls’ holiday on Instagram, she wrote: “I followed my heart and it lead me to Croatia.

"Memories for life, I’m feeling very lucky, so blessed. I’ve laughed sooo much, relaxed and switched off like never before!" She added: "I definitely won’t be leaving it another 3 years before I catch my next flight."

Although not abroad, Christine also revealed she had taken a solo trip to Devon for the night in August as she said “solo sunsets are a healer”. Since announcing her marriage was over, Christine has been hitting the gym hard, practising self-care and spending time with friends.
