Paddy McGuinness was reportedly missing in action as a headliner at Flackstock on Monday, following the announcement that he had separated from wife Christine on Friday after 11 years of marriage.

The Top Gear star was revealed to be making an appearance at the festival, organised in memory of late TV presenter Caroline Flack by her family and friends, back in April when the event was first announced.

Love Island host Caroline took her own life at the age of 40 in February 2020.

Paddy was due to appear alongside the likes of Natalie Imbruglia, Louise Redknapp, Professor Green, This Morning presenter Dermot O’Leary, Joel Dommett, Noel Fielding and former Strictly Come Dancing couple Janette Manrara and Aljaž Škorjanec.

The one-day festival celebrated Caroline’s life with acts from the worlds of comedy, dance and music, while raising funds for mental health charities and causes close to the star’s heart. 

Despite his inclusion on the bill and on the line-up poster however, Paddy was noticeably missing, according to The Mirror.

The Take Me Out host met Christine when she was modelling in a fashion show at the Liverpool Tennis Tournament, before they married in Thornton Manor in the Wirral in 2011.

Last week, the couple shared photos from a family holiday shortly after Christine revealed they had been dealing with marriage issues.

She noted they are ‘trying to deal with things as privately as possible’ and are prioritising giving their children an ‘amazing summer’.
