Paddy McGuinness mentioned his wife Christine in a rare moment following the couple's breakup announcement last month. They issued a joint statement due to rumours swirling about their relationship, sharing they had split 'some time ago'.
The Top Gear host and the former model, who have been married 11 years and share three children, said they'd made the "difficult decision" to go their separate ways. The couple added they would still live together: "We'll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together."
It's not entirely surprising then that Paddy casually brought up Christine on social media over his birthday weekend. The candid clip showed the 49-year-old bare chested in the shower as he said to the camera: "Welcome to a very special shower news: the drought edition."
During the video, posted on Saturday (August 13) he said: "I tell you what, this sun is gorgeous. Yeah, it's red hot but I'm enjoying it. It's my birthday this weekend, August 14. Don't like to talk about it the big four-nine..." Paddy revealed that his original birthday plans, with thoughts of his children having splashing time with a paddling pool, had been shelved.
"I thought I'd get in the garden with the kids, fill the paddling pool up and whack on the barbie, but obviously all that's out of the window now," he said.
But he has since returned to the social media platform to share the unusual way he spent part of his birthday, Manchester Evening News reported. The comedian continued to show off his impressive fitness skills by performing 49 press ups, to represent his age.
Paddy wrote alongside the clip on Instagram: "49 for 49 and feeling fine! Happy Birthday to all my fellow
