Christine McGuinness and Premiere League footballer Jesse Lingard ‘look pretty close and chat for ages’ at a swanky Manchester bash – following her split from husband Paddy
Christine McGuinness was reportedly spotted at the launch of Sexy Fish in Manchester ‘quite close’ with Premiere League footballer Jesse Lingard.
The TV personality, 35, who split from husband Paddy, 50, in July 2022 after 11 years of marriage, is said to have caught the eye of the 30-year-old midfielder.

An onlooker told it The sun: ‘Christine and Jesse had been chatting for a while’.
“Obviously Jesse was looking at Christine and they seemed pretty close.”

Midfielder Jesse played for Man United, Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Birmingham and scored eight goals for England.
It comes despite Christine saying she was “embracing her freedom era” more than a year after her marriage split.
Earlier this month, she revealed she apparently has no plans to date again as she posted a montage to Instagram of herself happily enjoying single life.
Christine gave her 700,000 followers a glimpse into her independent life, showing herself off on a night out with cocktails, taking solo walks, exercising and lying alone in bed.
And despite reportedly kissing girlfriend Chelcee Grimes, Christine showed she’s as happy in her own company as ever.
She confessed, “I’m a happy little loner, embracing my freedom era and living beyond the existing.”
She also posted an audio reading: ‘She was happy. She lived for herself and enjoyed her own company. They called it loneliness. She called it freedom.”
It comes after Christine revealed her mother, Joanne, was ‘her rock’ during her split from Paddy, as she ‘looks forward to this year being over.’

Now Christine has said she plans to ‘start 2024 with a bang’ after a difficult year.
Speaking at the Pink Ribbon Foundation Charity Gala at Underglobe in London, she said: ‘She has been my rock and a huge inspiration to me’ The mirror reported.
Joanne was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. In 2021, Christine confirmed that she was in remission and that she herself received a negative test for the BRCA (breast cancer gene).
She continued: “There are obviously a lot of changes happening and it’s not easy, but I’m really looking forward to 2024.
“I know you shouldn’t wish your life away, but I’m looking forward to seeing this year over and starting next year fresh and with a bang. I really want to focus on the positive things and make the most of a new year and new opportunities.’
