Paddy McGuinness celebrates turning 50 as ex wife Christine enjoys girls’ holiday in Ibiza

Paddy McGuinness has given fans a glimpse of his birthday celebrations amid turning 50.

Taking to Instagram, the TV star was all smiles as he marked the milestone age with some of his closest friends.

The festivities included a number five and zero gold helium balloons, a bulging food hamper, an array of drinks, plus a cake.

“What a weekend!” he captioned the post. “Felt very loved and spoiled. Started off with a pre 50th [and a] 50th with an amazing bunch of people who’ve supported and helped me throughout my career.”

The Top Gear presenter then squeezed in a third celebration when he headed to the wedding of Line of Duty actress Vicky McClure, who tied the knot with long-term partner Jonathan Owen.

“Congratulations to the loveliest couple ever,” he penned in acknowledgement of their nuptials.

The TV presenter also shared some naps of some sweet cards given to him by his children.

In the caption, he wrote: “My babies made me feel the most loved ever this morning! Homemade cards are the best.”

Someone who was noticeably absent from Paddy’s birthday was ex-wife Christine McGuinness.

Despite splitting up in 2022 after 15 years together, they have maintained a united front for the sake of their three children.

The model, 35, was instead sunning it up on a girls holiday in Ibiza and snapped in an embrace with musician friend Chelcee Grimes, 31.
