When Paddy met Christine back in 2007, he was a rising TV star known for Phoenix Nights, while she was a lesser-known model and one-time Miss Liverpool winner. Their lavish wedding in 2011 had some 200 guests, including Paddy’s best man, the comedian Peter Kay, who has been his friend since childhood.
Fast-forward more than a decade and the couple, who have three children, are now red-carpet regulars, with the cameras catching their every move.
