PADDY and Christine McGuinness’s stunning family home is a seven-bedroom display of the couple’s telly success.
The Top Gear presenter and The Games star share the £2.1million home with their three children – and will continue to do so, after their marriage split.
Paddy, 48, presents the BBC motoring programme alongside Chris Harris and Freddie Flintoff.
The trio took over hosting the show, now in its 33rd series, since 2019 after Friends star Matt LeBlanc called time on his stint in the driver’s seat.
Christine, 34, and Paddy said they aimed to be the “best parents they could be” following their separation as they co-parent their three children – twins Leo and Penelope, eight, and Felicity, five.
They told in their statement how the Cheshire mansion would remain their family home and said: “We’ll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together.”
Located in rural Cheshire, the house was a sanctuary for the pair during the coronavirus pandemic and they filmed fun TikToks both inside and out, in between looking after their autistic children.
Christine has spoken candidly about the family’s struggles during lockdown.
She told the Loose Women that the disruption to her children’s routine has set them back about two years.
The couple, who share six-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and three-year-old Felicity, have been full-time carers for the trio.
But despite the difficulties, at the time, it brought them closer together.
She said: “The things we used to bicker about was mainly how much he would be away from home or if I wanted to work and couldn’t because he was away, it was like little things whereas now we’re both stay at home parents.
“We’re both doing the same amount of cooking, cleaning, childcare, bedtimes, so there’s nothing really to argue about. But don’t get me wrong, I want him to go back to work!”
Paddy previously rented a home in nearby Prestbury after the couple moved from his hometown of Bolton to escape pranksters who rang their doorbell at night.
They have a stone tiled bathroom with a luxurious waterfall style shower head.
And they haven’t skimped on the outside either, with Paddy videoing the luscious garden, equipped with large wooden play equipment and a patio area.
They have double doors and a balcony overlooking their huge lawn and thick trees that provide some privacy.
The star has gone all out on the home gym, which features on the pair’s Instagram due to their love of all things fitness.
Thanks to Christine’s selfies, fans can admire the large master bedroom with it’s plush carpet, fluffy rug and natural light thanks to plenty of open space.
Although not much has been revealed about the furniture, the bed boasts a grey velvet headboard, like the bed they previously had in Bolton.
The lucky children also have their own playroom, which is decorated with paintings and toys that contrast the dark carpet and neutral walls.
Bikini photos of Christine also show the couple have a large pool at one side of the property, with a range of different animal floats for splashing around.
And Christine’s huge white wardrobes feature in many of the couple’s snaps.
Although the couple haven’t shared any pictures of their living room, Paddy is often spotted on the brown leather sofa, cuddling up to fluffy cushions post workout.
For Paddy, who is known to love a quiet night in with the family, this neutral space is ideal for his family to chill out in.
