Christine McGuinness isn't in a rush to find love after splitting from Paddy McGuinness.
Christine McGuinness isn't keen on dating
The 35-year-old TV star finalised her divorce from Paddy, 49, last year, and Christine insists she's currently focused on her children.
The blonde beauty - who has Felicity, seven, and nine-year-old twins Penelope and Leo with Paddy - told OK! magazine: "I was talking to my friends about it earlier and actual dating sounds awful anyway for anybody, but [especially] for an autistic person who doesn’t really like people.
"I don’t like new places, restaurants, and I’m very particular with food, so the last thing I would want to do is go on a date. I can’t even imagine it. I’ve never really dated.
"When I met Patrick, I met him casually and we built up a friendship before it got romantic, so something like that would probably suit me better. However, right now I’m focusing on the children and my work. Any free time I’ve got goes on myself because I’m exhausted.
"Dating doesn’t sound fun, and I’ve heard some horror stories, so I’m not planning on jumping in there."
Christine and Paddy have continued living together since their break-up.
And Christine doesn't have any immediate plans to change the situation.
She said: "It’s certainly not a long-term or forever plan.
"It works right now because we’re both so busy and we’re in and out of the home so we tend to swap days and we’ll share. It’s much like any parent really - juggling jobs and children.
"We definitely don’t want to upset them or change anything too quickly, and for me as well. I like slow changes, and we’re alright – we’re family. I’ve known Paddy for 15 years, so I don’t know life without him. It is what it is."
