Christine wrote on her Instagram Stories, “Patrick is my ex, my ex of over a year (let me remind you I was not the cause of our marriage breaking up). I have never fully spoken about this and I will also remind everyone that I am not silenced and will speak/when I want to.
“I got him a birthday cake, made presents and cards with our kids. I did this for our kids to celebrate Dad’s birthday. The press chose not to show that and instead continued to use older photos of me outside the country.
“We spent his 50th together at home and we celebrated separately with his friends over the past few weeks on various holidays, again, the press chooses not to show much of that. Trust me, I wish I was still on that vacation.
‘Do not believe everything you read. Sincerely, just a mom doing her best while living with her ex going through a divorce, smiling when she wants to cry and juggling summer vacation.”
Paddy kicked off his 50th birthday in style with a host of different celebrations.
The TV host, whose milestone birthday is on August 14, gave fans an insight into his fun plans and dropped the idea of a big celebration to mark the occasion.
Instead, he had a quiet gathering with those closest to him and then went to the wedding of actress Vicky McClure.
Paddy shared a slew of snaps on Instagram looking happy and relaxed in an all-black ensemble with a group of friends gathered around him as they sat on a striped chair.

Split: Paddy and Christine announced last July that they were going their separate ways, but they still live together
Television personality Christine befriended Chelcee after they both competed in ITV’s The Games in the summer of 2022, with Christine finishing in ninth place and Chelcee in second place.
The pair have been enjoying several vacations together lately and have flown to Santorini, Croatia and Greece for fun girly trips.
Christine and Paddy announced they had split in July last year after 11 years of marriage, but later revealed that they had ended their relationship earlier in the year.
In conversation with OK! Magazine about the split, Christine told: “We’re amicable. I’m very happy for him to be with the kids and it’s nice for them to see that mom and dad are just fine. We can have a cup of tea together and that’s fine.’
