‘Mad few weeks ahead!’ Christine and Paddy McGuinness prepare to move into their own home for the FIRST time after renting four different properties ‘in as many years’
The boxes were packed and the wheels were quite literally set in motion on Monday as Christine and Paddy McGuinness prepared to move into their very own house.
The couple, who married in 2011, are preparing to relocate from the spacious rented property that has provided a base throughout lockdown to their first purchased family home.
Taking to Instagram, Christine, 32, admitted she and Paddy – parents to children Penelope and Leo, both seven, and four-year old Felicity – had a lot of work to do over the coming weeks.

Paddy, 47, later admitted they were aiming to finally settle down in a permanent home after moving from one rented home to another for almost half a decade.
Captioning an image of himself looking exhausted while taping up boxes, he wrote: ‘We’ve been renting for nigh on five years and this will be the fourth time we’ve moved in as many years. I never want to tape together another cardboard box ever!!!!

Christine also gave fans a brief glimpse at the new property, which features a distinctive spiral staircase and broad, open landings.
Sharing separate clips of the boxes diligently packed by Paddy, the model admitted one of her most loved possessions – a hardback copy of Charlie Mackesy’s illustrated book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse – was the first item to be placed in the removal van.
The move comes after Christine admitted she would have loved a fourth child, but Paddy underwent a vasectomy in 2019.

Christine also revealed that next year will be her ten-year wedding anniversary with Paddy and insisted that they will not be renewing their vows, she quipped: ‘No… once was enough!’
After being asked why she has been teetotal for 13 years, Christine admitted that there is a ‘story’ for her sobriety but she doesn’t want to share it yet.
She admitted: ‘My body is a temple. No seriously there is a story behind this but I’m not willing to share for now. I’m good without the alcohol.’
