Christine McGuinness looked to be in great spirits as she was seen arriving back in the UK on Friday after revealing she had quit the new series of Celebs Go Dating.
The ex-wife of Paddy McGuinness, 37, was part of the star-studded line-up for the fourteenth series of the E4 hit alongside celebrities like Kerry Katona.
Christine had already flown to Ibiza to start filming but took to Instagram on Thursday to explain she had quit the show because it was ‘too soon’ after her divorce from her ex-husband Paddy.
And from her smiling expression as she made her way through the airport arrivals it seems Christine has no regrets over her decision as she grinned from ear to ear.
The TV personality flashed a hint of her toned abs as she kept it casual in a zip up black crop top and black leggings.
The star completed the look with a faded denim jacket, black trainers and dark sunglasses.

Pals close to the mother-of-three believe she may have left the programme over ‘fears’ of upsetting ex-husband Paddy, 51, by discussing their recent divorce on TV.
According to insiders, the model, who split from the former Top Gear host in 2022, had been ‘enjoying’ filming and going on dates after flying to the White Isle this week.
On Wednesday, she got stuck in at the show’s Ibiza pool party, which was attended by Celebs Go Dating alumni and surprise guests Wayne Lineker and Dean Gaffney.
The reality star, who was set to date both men and women on the show, had been revealing more about her ‘type’, explaining that she likes ‘feminine women with an edge’ at the show’s ‘mixer’, where celebrities met the contestants for the first time.
However, Christine then suddenly quit the series, with insiders saying she had become anxious over her private life, including feelings surrounding her divorce, being made public.
A source said: ‘Christine was really up for this show and discovering more about herself with the help of the relationship experts.

‘She settled in really well in Ibiza and treated it like a bit of a holiday.
‘Hours before she pulled out of the series, she was having so much fun at one of the show’s pool parties, chatting away to former contestants Wayne and Dean.
‘She had even struck up a flirtatious relationship with one of the contestants, who she flew to Ibiza as part of the dating series, and was finally opening up about her feelings towards women.
‘But all of a sudden her mood changed and she began to have real doubts over her appearance, especially with how she may be upsetting Paddy by discussing their divorce on a TV show.
‘It’s a real shame but she just wasn’t in the right frame of mind to take part and it was best for all concerned for her to leave the process.’
In her statement, she confirmed: ‘I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention is brings is just too soon for me.’
Christine also said that she may appear in the future, adding: ‘They’ve said the door is always open for me which I’m so grateful but for now I’m returning home to my family.’
