Christine McGuinness sends temperatures soaring as she sunbathes topless during lavish getaway ahead of spending Christmas with ex husband Paddy 

Christine McGuinness left little to the imagination as she posed for sizzling topless Instagram snaps while soaking up the sun during a lavish getaway on Thursday. 

The model, 36, who is spending Christmas with her ex-husband Paddy McGuinness, 51, showed off her jaw-dropping figure in a pair of black thong bikini bottoms as she relaxed on a sun lounger at the beach. 

Christine later cooled off from the hot sun as she dipped her feet into the ocean and tied her long blonde tresses up into a high ponytail. 

The mother-of-three looked in good spirits as she kept her modesty by holding her arm across her ample chest and tactically turned away from the camera. 

In another photo, Christine slipped into a skimpy black triangle bikini to show off her glowing tan and toned physique as she relaxed at a beach club.

For the final snap, the stunner rocked an eye catching blue cut out two-piece as she modelled the swimwear for a mirror selfie in her hotel bedroom. 

It comes after Christine confirmed she will spend Christmas with ex-husband Paddy.

The model, split from former Take Me Out host Paddy in 2021 after just over a decade of marriage.

But she has now revealed they will spend the festive period together for the sake of their children; twins Penelope and Leo, 11, and Felicity, eight.

Christine previously admitted the children do not know their parents have separated and now she has said she does not want to 'upset' them at Christmas.

She told Woman's Own: 'The last thing we want to do is upset our children over Christmas, so we'll make sure we're all together.

'lt will be a quiet one. We always try to keep it quiet, because the children can get quite overwhelmed with the changes.

'So we try to keep it like a normal day but with presents.'

Last year, Christine and Paddy reunited to celebrate the twins' 10th birthday.

Christine could be seen having a whale of a time bouncing on a huge bouncy castle that she and Paddy had hired for the day.

The doting mum captioned the sweet post with 'Celebrating my twinnies 10th birthday double figures, double love ❤️ Leo and Penelope you changed my world for the better, I’m so proud of you both, feeling extremely grateful I get to be your mummy and you are my babies forever

'If there was ever a day I wanted to share a picture of them it’s today!. But when they’re old enough they can decide for themselves. I can tell you they’re getting so tall, their smiles are just gorgeous and they have the most beautiful brown eyes I’ve ever seen'.

In June, the former Real Housewives star admitted she was very wary about putting herself back on the market, especially as she had never really dated total strangers before. 

She told The Sunday Mirror: 'I started dating in June, and it's the first time I've ever dated in my life, which is really scary. Even when I was younger I would end up seeing people I was already friends with.

'So going on dates with people you don't already know is brand new to me and I am doing that in my thirties for the first time. 

'I avoided doing it for as long as possible because I know I am in no position to be in a serious relationship.'
