Paddy McGuinness is back in the UK following rumours of marriage difficulties with wife Christine. The Bolton comic's other half spoke out about the pair's relationship last week after months of talk that the pair are set to split.
Christine, a former model, has admitted they are having a "very, very difficult time". The couple, who have been married for 11 years, sparked concerns they were going their separate ways when Paddy, 48, was not supporting his wife during her stint on ITV's The Games.
They also went on separate holidays last month, as writes Manchester Evening News.

After sharing a series of cryptic posts on social media in recent days, mum-of-three Christine told The Sun: "What I might have put up with in the past, I probably wouldn’t put up with now, and the same for him.
Christine added: "I can’t deny we are having a very, very difficult time." She added: "It’s just — we’ve been together 15 years, 11 years married: we are gonna have ups and downs — but this situation at the minute — I don’t want to go into it too much but I will just say that I didn’t cause this situation."
Take Me Out star Paddy has been filming in Thailand for Top Gear amid his marriage woes. On Sunday (July 10) the presenter shared a clip from onboard a plane alongside co-star Chris Harris as they prepared to fly home. "What a trip," he penned to his followers.
"Thailand is stunning! Can’t wait for you to see some of the roads we drove along for our new Top Gear adventures!" He then shared a second video of them landing back on UK soil which he captioned: " I is back baby! 11 hour flight but really enjoyed filming in Thailand, beautiful country."
He then added: "Yet no matter where I travel it’s always good to get home! Cup of tea, clean bedding and the kids are off skool." Paddy also commented on one of Christine's recent posts of her alongside their three children - twins Penelope and Leo, nine, and Felicity, six.
It showed the foursome enjoying a splash in the pool in the garden of their Cheshire home as the country sizzled in boiling temperatures. "My lifeys," Christine penned. School is closed for summer. 8 weeks off babies!. Let’s make this the best one yet, let’s take adventures and explore new places, let’s laugh every day! Let me show you the way."
She then added: "Wishing you all a happy summer. Good luck to all the parents and carers juggling kiddies, work, life. Especially those who will struggle with the change in routine! We’ve got this." Paddy was soon commenting as he prepared to head home, writing: "Cuddles tomorrow!!!" alongside a string of heart emojis.
The Top Gear host and former The Real Housewives of Cheshire star met back while Christine was doing a fashion show for Cricket at a Liverpool Tennis Tournament.
Last year, Christine bravely revealed she had been diagnosed as autistic - just like all three of her children.
Just months after learning she had autism, Christine was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - better known as ADHD. The condition includes symptoms such as being restless and having trouble concentrating.
