Last week, Christine returned from a girls' holiday with her new friend, footballer Chelsee Grimes, whom she met on ITV show The Games. Having left comedian Paddy and their three children at home, Christine captioned an Instagram post: "I followed my heart and it lead me to Croatia."
She added: "Memories for life, I'm feeling very lucky, so blessed. I've laughed sooo much, relaxed and switched off like never before!"
