Christine McGuinness has shared a string of unseen snaps with her pal Chelcee Grimes.
The pair got tongues wagging last Christmas when they were seen kissing during a trip to Winter Wonderland – and they look just as cosy in the photos Christine, 35, put on Instagram last night.
Wishing Chelcee, 31, a happy birthday, the mum-of-three, 35, posted a montage of snaps in which she cosies up to her pal.
There's a selection of the pair cuddling up in a photo booth, larking around on holiday as well as enjoying nights out.
Captioning the photos, the former Miss Liverpool wrote: "I think I've loved your 30th year on earth more than you have. I'm excited for your 31st year. Your life is unreal, smashing it. Happy Birthday."
Chelcee, 31 and Christine spent the bank holiday together at the start of May.
The Games star posted several videos of the pair hugging at Ten Streets Social club in Liverpool, where they were both dressed in glamorous black outfits.
Christine captioned the post with a heart along with a backing track called Closer as the pair embraced.
Footballer Chelcee later posted a picture of herself in her hotel room as she posed in a pair of black pants and Versace crop top she'd worn to the club, teasing: "What a weekend x Full of surprises."
Christine and Chelcee grew close after meeting on ITV's The Games last year.
Since splitting up with Paddy McGuinness, model Christine has kept tight-lipped about her private life.
However, she did say she was "petrified of dating" after opening up on about her relationship status in her BBC documentary Unmasking My Autism.
Christine, who was diagnosed with autism in 2021, said: "Starting life on my own is scary, I struggle making decisions. I was only 19 when I met Patrick and for the last 15 years my role has been wife and mum. When I was diagnosed, I set out on a journey to find out who I was."
The model still lives with the Top Gear presenter, as she and Paddy put their children twins Penelope and Leo, nine and Felicity, six – who are all autistic – first.
It seems Chelcee has been helping her pal navigate her life post Paddy and organised a birthday party for Christine in March.
After enjoying all the trappings of a sumptuous spa day, the model told her Instagram followers she would be: "living freely to my absolute fullest".
