Beaming Christine McGuinness steps out with wedding ring back on after Paddy split

Christine McGuinness sent tongues wagging as she stepped out with her wedding ring back on in Cheshire.

The model, 34, who announced she had split from husband Paddy McGuinness, 49, in July after 11 years of marriage, wore the diamond sparkler on her right hand instead of her left.

Rocking a new, shorter hairstyle, flashed the bling on a perfectly manicured hand as she filled up her Mercedes G Wagon in her Cheshire, and as she left the garage.

The Games star, who lives in Cheshire, smiled and seemed relax while out and about, with her trademark blonde locks shorter than usual, reaching just below her shoulders.

The mum-of-three kept it casual in a fitted green, high-waisted midi skirt, with a matching top and white trainers.

She accessorised the look with dark sunglasses, and a white handbag.

Christine and Top gear presenter Paddy announced their separation in July, after 11 years of marriage.

The pair said they decided to separate a while ago and their main focus is supporting their children, Penelope and Leon, nine, and six-year-old Felicity.

Weeks later the Real Housewives of Cheshire star shocked fans by trying on a series of stunning wedding dresses in a bridal shop.

Sharing the snaps on Instagram, she joked her 681,000 followers should ‘save the date’ of non-existent day February 30.

Although it has emerged the photos were only taken for a photoshoot, pals say it got Christine feeling good about herself.

And at 34, they say she is still young enough to find ‘The One’ and perhaps even walk down the aisle again.

A pal told Closer magazine Christine is happy focusing on herself and has “found solace” in working out and being healthy.

The insider said: “She does feel like a huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders since the split and now she’s only looking to the future.

“When she was wearing the wedding dresses, she was just playing around for a photoshoot. But trying them on and feeling glam really made her feel good.

“It did get her thinking she’d like to meet someone in the future. She’s young enough to find happiness again and hasn’t given up on the idea of finding her happy ending with someone else and perhaps having that moment again in a wedding dress. Never say never.”

The future is already looking bright for Christine who has hinted she has landed her own reality TV show.

Prior to this the former model has appeared in shows like The Games and The Real Full Monty.

Christine has also won praise for revealing her autism diagnosis and making a TV show and podcast about it.

In an exclusive extract published in The Mirror, Christine shared in her book A Beautiful Nightmare how she came to terms with having the condition, which her three children also have.

She said: "I have been confirmed as autistic. It’s strange, but I’ve noticed there are little hints throughout my life that I’m autistic and more like my children than I ever could have imagined."
