Paddy McGuinness admits he is 'homesick' after Christine split

Paddy McGuinness has admitted he is homesick. He made the confession after splitting from his wife Christine last year.

According to LancsLive, the former Take Me Out presenter said: "I've always had a sort of rule what I stick by where I never do more than nine days anywhere because I just like being at home. I think naturally you get homesick," he added to The Sun.

"I did this in two different stints. So I'd go out for five days, come back and then towards the end I went out for another, I think, four days," he said of Tempting Fortune, his new Channel 4 show. "So it wasn’t too bad, really.

"I've done longer. When I used to do Take Me Out, for instance, you think a bit differently because you're in the UK, so psychologically it isn't that bad, but Take Me Out used to take a week.

"So Take Me Out, weirdly, out of everything I've done, is the show that took me away from home the longest. More than Top Gear, more than A Question Of Sport, more than anything I've done."

Speaking on Heart FM's No Filter this week, Christine explained: "We're not actually like any other family I know. I love the way we are, I try not to compare myself to any other family because we're actually not like any other family that I know.

"I'm comfortable and I embrace our family the way we are, and I love our differences. Each and every family is unique anyway but ours is just one that I've never seen on any social media platform before and I'm quite proud of that.

"I love us, I love the way we are."
