Christine McGuinness has reportedly signed up for 'Pilgrimage' as she starts to "shrug off heartbreak".
Christine McGuinness is set to star in Pilgrimage
The 33-year-old star is said to be taking part in the BBC Two show - which sees a group of celebrities journey along an historic pilgrimage root - and bosses are hoping it will be inspiring for both the audience and the mum-of-three, following her split from Paddy McGuinness last year.
An insider told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "Since stepping into the spotlight, Christine has bravely let fans into her personal life, from learning she is autistic at the age of 33 and parenting her three autistic children, through to the breakdown of her marriage to Paddy McGuinness.
“'Pilgrimage' comes at the perfect time for her, as she’s starting to shrug off heartbreak and explore the potential of finding new love."
It's said bosses are hoping Christine can "add real heart" to the show through her own experiences, while they would also be happy to see her open up about "her current love life" or her time with Paddy.
The source added: "Traditionally, pilgrimages were taken to explore personal growth towards a place of spiritual awakening and the BBC Two programme has shown to profoundly affect its cast.
“Not only could the experience prove to be incredibly positive for Christine’s own development, bosses hope her journey will add real heart to the programme.
“Any revelations about Paddy or her current love life would of course go down a treat, too.”
Some stars have undergone transformative experiences on the show, with former 'Geordie Shore' star Vicky Pattison considering finding God after her trip along the Fatima Ways in Portugal during the 2022 series.
She said at the time: "I’ve always wanted to think that there was something bigger than me but I just didn’t know what it was.
“I still don’t know, but I have a real desire to find out. I think it showed me I’d really love to have faith.”
