Christine McGuinness tries on wedding dresses after split from husband Paddy

Christine McGuinness has been spotted trying on wedding dresses weeks after her shock split from husband Paddy.

The 34-year-old model posted a series of snaps of herself wearing stunning wedding gowns to Instagram.

She then baffled her 682,000 followers by captioning the post: “Save the date. February 30th" - which doesn’t exist.

The clip starts when the mum-of-three arrives at The Wedding Club bridal shop in London for a ‘dress fitting’.

After changing out of her khaki midi dress, denim jacket and trainers, Christine proceeds to try on a number of wedding dresses.

First comes a white strapless dress followed by a corset design. The last dress is a sequin princess-style ballgown which fans said looked just like Stacey Solomon ’s wedding dress.

Fans were all in agreement that Christine looked “stunning” with one saying: “You could wear a plastic bag and still look bloody gorgeous”.

And while some congratulated her and asked who the lucky man was, others were quick to see it was all a joke.

One wrote: “Feb 30th lol,” while another said: “That’s when I’m getting married” followed by a laughing emoji face.

A third commented: “Stunning dress... love the date too. We’ll look forward to our invitation to never.”

“Hahaha Darling, you had me for a minute then – February 30th haha love your sense of humour,” said a fourth.

While a fifth took aim at her marriage split, adding: “That Paddy is a plonker, isn’t he?”

Although we know Christine – who isn’t even divorced yet – won’t be walking down the aisle for real any time soon, there could be another reason for the wedding dresses.

The reality TV star has already starred in The Real Housewives of Cheshire, as well as appearing on shows like The Games and The Real Full Monty.

And now she has hinted she has landed her very own reality TV show which could detail her life following her split from comedian Paddy.

Taking part in an Instagram Q&A, one follower asked: "Would you ever do your own reality TV show, like Ferne McCann and Billie Faiers?"

Christine didn't rule the idea out and replied with a video of herself glancing side-to-side, suggesting plans might already be underway.

When another fan asked when they would see her on TV next, Christine simply replied: “Later this year.”

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.

“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.”

The couple added: “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.”

The pair signed off the message: “Loads of love. Paddy & Christine.”
