Christine and her ex-husband Paddy McGuinness sparked a’major debate’ on social media

Last year, the 35-year-old model and 49-year-old comedian shocked fans by announcing their divorce.

The former couple, who have three children – Penelope and Leo, both nine, and Felicity, seven – were married for 11 years before divorcing.

They are still on good terms and live in the same house for the sake of their children, all of whom have autism.

Christine also took to Instagram on Sunday to share a sweet photo from her family vacation.

Christine was riding a bike with a carrier attached to it in the photo, and she captioned it: “Wishing you all a wonderful Easter from my little chicks to yours!

“That was a lovely little family break now mummy is exhausted and definitely deserves an adults only holiday! Massive thank you to my mum, the best nanny for the extra hands and ears on this trip.”

Paddy, Christine’s ex-partner, then took aim at his baby mama, saying: “You didn’t once pedal that!!!”

Christine, on the other hand, was quick to respond: “Don’t chat [poo emoji]. I’ve done about 50 miles with children in there this weekend. I’m done in!”

Paddy replied: “Tell my lungs that!”

Fans reacted quickly to the exchange between the two parents, with one telling Christine, “You tell him.”

“Oh Patrick, you are a very brave Boltonian,” wrote another.

It comes after it was revealed that Paddy is “struggling” with his divorce from Christine, who has a “separate life” following their shocking split.

According to a source, the Top Gear star is “struggling” with the break-up, while Christine is kept busy with her numerous career projects.

“Paddy has been reaching out to people after the split because he is struggling. Christine and Paddy both have very separate lives now,” the insider told OK.

They added: “Christine has so much work on, she has documentaries, but Paddy is less busy and he is struggling with it.”
