Paddy McGuinness has returned to work following his shock split from wife Christine.
The couple, who share twins Penelope and Leo, eight, and Felicity, six, issued a joint statement last week where they announced their split after eleven years of marriage.

In seemingly good spirits, Paddy noted: “It’s not all glamour!”
The couple’s full statement posted on Friday read: “We hadn’t planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but after the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify.
“A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus as always is to continue loving and supporting our children.
“This was not an easy decision to male but we’re moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children. We’ll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together.
“We hope this now draws a line under anymore unwanted and unnecessary intrusion into our private life. Although we work in the public eye we ask kindly if you could respect our wishes for privacy on this matter. We’ll be making no further comment.”
