How Paddy McGuinness has won toxic divorce battle for £2.5m home... but ex Christine and his three children will still live there too. KATIE HIND reveals inside story of what friends call an 'absolute nightmare'


When Paddy and Christine McGuinness decided to divorce, he was anxious not to give up his pride and joy: the £2.5million family home in Cheshire. It can now be revealed they will both keep the property.

And Christine – who discovered she was autistic and has ADHD in 2021 – wished to avoid uprooting their three children, ten-year-old twins, Leo and Penelope, and seven-year-old Felicity, all of whom have been diagnosed with autism as well. His Top Gear career also came to an abrupt halt in December 2022 following Freddie Flintoff’s crash at the Dunsfold Aerodrome, which left the former cricketer with life-changing injuries. Apparently to boost his PR coverage, Paddy has hired Amanda Abbington’s lawyer Persephone Bridgman Baker, who ‘specialises in media and reputation management’ according to her law firm Carter-Ruck.
