TELLY star Christine McGuinness has had a sly dig at her ex-hubby Paddy, claiming she now wants to date women so she can have “a deeper connection”.
The model, who is among an all-star line-up on the new series of E4’s Celebs Go Dating, split from the Take Me Out host in 2022.
Christine, 37, said of dating after parting from Paddy, 51: “I describe my sexuality as being a free spirit.
“Now I’m enjoying spending time with women.
"I can just have a deeper connection with a woman.
“I like someone who knows what they want and isn’t playing games.”
Christine had previously confirmed that, for the past three years, she has been involved with only women, reportedly including rapper, model and DJ Roxxxan, and singer Chelcee Grimes.
Talking yesterday about her sexuality, which she refuses to put a label on, she says: “My ex-husband knew about it from when we first met and was fine with it.”
Christine, who has three kids with Paddy, is one of eight celebs in the E4 show, which is being screened from next Monday.

The Sun has told how Christine quit filming after just a week, deciding the process was too intense.
However, she returned for the show’s finale.
The other daters are Love Islander Olivia Hawkins, Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona, The Chase’s Mark Labbett, S Club singer Jon Lee, comic Donna Preston, Made in Chelsea’s Sam Prince and Too Hot to Handle hunk Louis Russell.
