NEWLY divorced Christine McGuiness has signed up for Celebs Go Dating as the E4 show heads to Ibiza for the first time.
The 37-year-old model ex of comedian Paddy, 51, will open up about her love life on camera as she navigates romance as a single mum-of-three on Celebs Go Dating, which heads to the White Isle.
A telly insider said: “Show bosses are delighted to have snapped up Christine, they think she’ll be great on-screen and appeal to lots of other women in their thirties dating after getting a divorce.
“Fans will see a new side to Christine too as she opens up about her personal life and films coaching sessions with the show’s dating experts.
“Chrisine has been open on social media about how she found spirituality and healing in Ibiza, so she’s thrilled to be working over there.”
Filming begins in May with the series set to air later this year. A spokeswoman for the show said: “We don’t comment on speculation.”
Christine and Paddy split in 2022 after 11 years of marriage and the exes are currently selling their £6.5m Cheshire home.
Speaking recently Christine opened up about how the couple navigate living under the same roof. She said: “Paddy and I are on separate floors. So my bedroom and dressing room is my little haven.
“We both work in TV yet neither of us watch what each other does.”
It comes after it was revealed Christine struck up an unlikely friendship with Spencer Matthews while filming for BBC‘s Pilgrimage: The Road Through North Wales, which aired last year.
“You would never have put those two together but they got along instantly,” an insider said of the pair as they filmed the BBC show.
“Poor Christine had been through the mill. She had been with Paddy since she was so young.
“He was really all she knew in a man, so then to strike up this friendship with Spencer was just lovely. It was noticed by everyone on set that they got on especially well
“It must have been so refreshing for her to have someone making her laugh, as they really got into the spiritual side of life.”
Christine and Spencer hiked 225km across Wales along with five other celebs of different faiths and beliefs.
In one of the final scenes of the programme, Christine said to the group: “For me it doesn’t feel like the end at all, it feels like the beginning.
“It’s made me want to live more. I don’t just want to exist.”
