Christine McGuinness has revealed why she celebrated Valentine’s Day early with Paddy this year.
The smitten showbiz pair have been married for over 10 years since they tied the knot in 2011, but they clearly still make the most of the most romantic day of the year.
That’s because model Christine, 33, and comedian Paddy, 48, decided to mark Valentine’s day a few days before everybody else.
The famous couple have action-packed diaries, and they both spotted they had a rare day off on Thursday this week (February 10).
The mum-of-three dished on her date with Paddy to the Mirror – explaining that they chose a day before their kids broke up from school as it meant they’d get some time alone.
She said: “We did our Valentine’s yesterday because our children break up from school today. So yesterday we had a really lovely day, went into Manchester City Centre.”
Christine and Paddy share their three kids, twins Leo and Penelope, and Felicity.
Given their diaries are so busy, and they need to look after the kids when they’re not at school, Thursday was the perfect choice.
She went on: “We aren’t going to be able to do that on Valentine’s Day as we’ll have the three children with us.”
Christine admitted that the pre-Valentine’s Day date was “kind of unplanned”.
She added that it can be “easy to forget” Valentine’s Day as they’ve been together for 15 years now, but she added: “actually it’s nice to just have a little day together.”
The proud parents have worked hard to raise their three children, who have all been diagnosed with autism.
Christine herself found out she had the developmental disorder – announcing the news last year.
The blonde bombshell also spoke about how her hubby helps her when they go out to restaurants.

She said she usually avoids restaurants “like the plague” as she’s so “particular” with her food, which can make her feel stressed.
She also confessed she can “come across as shy or even rude” due to her reactions when restaurants are busy or people talk to her.
It turns out Paddy steps in to order food for her, which helps his wife as she sometimes ‘stumbles’ over her words when ordering.
