She has now revealed she wasn’t paid to do the show and shed light on exactly what she had to fork out for on the lavish trip, which ended with Chrstine quitting the show altogether.
In a new TikTok video, she explained: “I wasn’t paid for the amount of episodes I was on the show. Expenses were paid for, so my flight to Ibiza was paid for, the mixer was also paid for, the travel.As long as you have your receipts, that was all covered.
“They covered lunch and dinner. If we was off-site from the hotel everything was catered for. It was amazing.
“Chef was amazing, the staff were amazing, really, really lovely people. And we had breakfast, lunch and dinner, just like a buffet really.

“So it was like going to Ibiza on an all-inclusive holiday that I didn’t have to pay for. Obviously, as a single mum of three, I was gassed.”
She continued: “I did spend a lot of my own money though, not going to lie to you, like in-duty free, a bit of alcohol, Prosecco, a couple of bottles, just to have fun, especially in the night time as well.”
Despite getting on well with Christine, her time on the show came to an abrupt end when the Loose Women star – who was married to comedian Paddy McGuinness, 51, until their split in 2022 – made the shock decision to leave during the latest episode.
Speaking to the show’s agents, she said: “Well, I’ve been thinking quite a lot whilst we’ve been in Ibiza and I think I need to date in more of a natural environment.
“I think I just would love to meet somebody and date more privately. It’s where I’m kind of feeling myself going back, when I want to go freely forward.
“Right. And I’ve made the decision to leave the agency.”
