Christine McGuinness pictured kissing best friend Chelcee following split from husband Paddy

Christine McGuiness has been seen kissing her friend Chelcee Grimes.

The pair visited London’s Winter Wonderland on Friday night, 2 December, and shared a smooch as they sat down for a drink together.

Wrapped up for the cold weather, Christine, 34, wore a baby pink knitted bobble hat which she paired with a leather biker jacket and leggings, as Chelcee, 30, looked equally as cosy in a beanie and matching scarf and green PVC coat.

It's thought the pair became acquainted earlier this year after both taking part in The Games, and recently went on a trip to Greece together.

Chelcee proved successful in the competition as she took home gold alongside her male counterpart Wes Nelson.

OK! have contacted Christine and Chelcee's reps for comment.

A source told The Sun that the apparent new flames were "all smiles" on their evening out together, and were seen walking hand-in-hand.

"It was a sweet moment between Christine and Chelcee as they sat on a bench outside and enjoyed live music," an onlooker told the publication.

“They were wearing similar woolly hats and even had a little dance at one point.

“They seemed to be living in the moment and soaking up the festive atmosphere."

They went on: “Christine and Chelcee were both all smiles as they walked off hand-in-hand.

“It was a busy night and all the festival tents were packed to the rafters with people."

Christine's romance with Chelcee comes four months after she announced her split from Top Gear presenter Paddy McGuiness.

In a joint statement shared in July, the pair said: "We hadn’t planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but after the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify.

“A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus as always is to continue loving and supporting our children. This was not an easy decision to make but we’re moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children. We’ll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together.

“We hope this now draws a line under anymore unwanted and unnecessary intrusion into our private life. Although we work in the public eye we ask kindly if you could respect our wishes for privacy on this matter. We’ll be making no further comment.”

They spent 15 years together and share twins Leo and Penelope, nine, and younger daughter Felicity, six.
