'Paddy's free to date who he wants but I'll wait until we're living apart'

Christine's vow to her kids

- Mark Jefferies and Olivia Buxton

TWO years after confirming their break-up Christine and Paddy McGuinness are still living in the same house.

And while that scenario might be a nightmare for most former couples, TV star Christine reckons she will only fully move on romantically when she moves out. But she is in no rush.

She said: "We get on really well, we laugh a lot. So I haven't had to deal with what most people deal with going through a divorce.

"When you are clearing out the Dating other person's boxes, that must be awful. But I haven't had to do that yet.

"But I know if and when it comes to that it's going to be difficult." Amid rumours Paddy may have started or be open to dating, Christine said:

"He's entitled to go and date if he wants to, that's completely his business. And it's not my business at all.

"And the same for me, it's just I feel like it's not the right time to. But I'm not totally against it." However, she admits her current arrangement might make it more difficult for her to date even if she could find the time.
