Christine McGuinness is alleged to be ‘heartbroken’ after learning that her ex-husband Paddy is creating a’mockumentary on their divorce.’

The 35-year-old TV personality and the 50-year-old broadcaster formally announced their split in July last year, revealing that their relationship had ended earlier that year.

Despite their breakup, the amiable ex-couple continues to live together in their family home, actively co-parenting their children, nine-year-old Penelope and seven-year-old twins Felicity and Leo, who all have autism.

According to The Sun, a friend close to Christine stated that she learned of Paddy’s plot after reading about it online.

They told the publication, “Christine is distraught that their divorce is going to be the butt of the jokes.”

The source went on to say, “She’s completely broken over the divorce and we are genuinely worried about her. Paddy didn’t tell her about the pilot. The fact she had to find out online, like everyone else, that he was doing this has broken her even more.”

The release of the mockumentary coincides with Paddy’s admission that his finances had been stressed. He has announced his plan to return to stand-up comedy after a six-year break.
