Paddy McGuinness has reportedly got a new money making project up his sleeve as he cashes in after going through an expensive divorce. Christine and Paddy split back in 2022 but it seems that the TV star now has a new job to make some money after the divorce.

It was reported in October 2024 that Paddy would be keeping the pair’s £2.5million mansion after the divorce was finalised. It was also said that Christine is in the midst of paying off the £300,000 split.

However, Paddy is now focusing on work as he tries to top up his bank balance. The Top Gear presenter is expected to go on a comedy tour for his latest project.

A source told The Sun: “It’s no secret that Paddy’s comedy tour, over the past year, has been a huge success. “It was expected to do well but it was a long tour that went extremely well sales wise night after night… every venue was rocking.

“Most venues had waiting lists of people who wanted to come but couldn’t get in which is very rare in the industry at the moment. Obviously the tour promoter did very well out of it so everyone their side is very keen for Paddy to replicate that again perhaps as soon as possible. There aren’t many comedy acts that can sell venues as fast as that so when a hit comes along the industry is keen to pounce on it and get more shows booked in.

“Importantly, Paddy also had a blast writing and performing the show although whatever tour comes in the future, as with the last one, it needs to work around his schedule with his kids which is why he drove straight home after a lot of the gigs. Everyone is hoping he’ll sign up again and rival tour promoters are banging down his door to try and get involved.”

Christine and Paddy share three children together – Leo and Penelope and daughter Felicity. The family live in their seven-bedroom house in Cheshire which features a gym and swimming pool.

It was reported that Christine has been reluctant to move house as she wants stability for her children, all of who have been diagnosed with autism. Christine has been open in recent years about her children’s diagnosis with autism, as well as her own.

She was diagnosed in 2021 alongside her three children, and has since become an advocate for neurodiversity. She has shared how her diagnosis has changed her life and how it has helped her understand herself and her children better.

The Mirror have contacted Paddy and Christine’s reps for comment.
