Paddy McGuinness is reported to be dating a ‘stunning Radio 2 publicist’ following his split from wife Christine McGuinness.

In new pictures, the comedian, 52, could be seen enjoying a stroll with Emma Carey down a London street after having dinner together on Thursday.

The pair had enjoyed a meal at the swanky five-star Rosewood Hotel, with the publication reporting that they later headed to another nearby hotel.

Paddy, who hosts a weekly show on BBC Radio 2 where Emma works, was staying in London last week as he acted as a stand-in host on ITV‘s This Morning.

In the images, Paddy – who earlier this year revealed his incredible body transformation following a gruelling fitness regime – donned a tight black T-shirt which clung to his muscular frame.

Meanwhile, Emma was dressed to impress in a plunging black halter neck top, accessorising her look with a selection of chic gold jewellery.

The brunette beauty was clearly relaxed in the Take Me Out star’s company, placing an arm around his back as they walked together.

An onlooker told The Sun: ‘Paddy looked so at ease with her. It was obvious they are incredibly comfortable together, and they laughed a lot.

‘Fans will be thrilled to see him so happy after the anguish of his marriage split with Christine.

‘It’s easy to see why he’s so smitten with Emma by his side. Paddy looked like the cat that got the cream.’

As well as her publicity job on BBC Radio 2, it is said that Emma is a yoga and wellness enthusiast, sharing yoga sessions and Thailand wellness retreats on Instagram.

The Daily Mail has contacted Paddy’s representatives for comment.

TV star Paddy split from wife Christine in 2022 after 11 years of marriage but have remained living together in their family home while co-parenting their three children.

The pair maintain a good relationship for the sake of their children, with it said that the pair tell each other when they are going on dates.

Christine recently opened up about her split from husband Paddy, admitting their divorce was a ‘difficult and challenging’ time.

While the pair are still close friends, with Christine describing their amicable set-up as a ‘blessing,’ she confessed that she struggled amid the breakdown of their marriage.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Christine shared: ‘Divorce is scary and it was scary for me – obviously, I’ve never done a divorce before! It’s an awful time.

‘But as much as it was challenging and difficult, a lot of the thoughts and feelings were really from listening to other people’s stories.

‘Obviously, you hear about divorce, you instantly think negativity, heartbreak and a broken family or whatever, you don’t hear about other families that [continue to] share their home.’

Paddy and Christine’s children, twins Penelope and Leo, 13, and Felicity, ten, all have autism, with the couple choosing to continue to live together so as not to disrupt their routines.

‘A lot of families that have got children with special educational needs choose to do it this way,’ Christine explained. ‘Maybe they don’t talk about it so much, but they’re the ones who really get it and understand it.’

Christine continued: ‘I actually do think it is a blessing, the way we work co-parenting.

‘It was always a decision from the beginning that no matter what, between me and Patrick, our priority is always the children, and that’s how we’ve kept it, fortunately…

‘We’re lucky that we genuinely get on so well. We’re not in a rush to sell the house. We don’t want to be putting the kids in mummy’s house and then in daddy’s house – and our work’s not in a routine and our children thrive on routine.

‘They love the home, and in my head it’s the children’s home for them to grow up in.  I’m not in a rush for that to change, to be honest.

‘I’d love my own little flat somewhere, but this is my home.’

Following the breakdown of her marriage, Christine has been open about dating women, but said she’d never bring a date back to the house she shares with Paddy.

‘I would never do that,’ Christine insisted. ‘Like I said, this is the family home, and then Paddy and I have our lives outside.

‘But we never did have many visitors to the house, even when we were married. We don’t introduce the children to just anybody.

‘So certainly when it comes to dating, anything like that is going to take a very, very long time, like years, years and years.’
