The pair still live together  for the sake of their children, despite their split.

Christine spoke out about her sexuality for the first time recently, revealing she has dated both sexes since she was a teen.

The Sun revealed  her fling with a leading soap actress earlier this month.

Their encounter came in 2023, the year after Christine split from her ex-Top Gear host husband, Paddy, 51.

The well-known actress, whom we are not naming, has previously been in  relationships  with men.

Months after their  marriage  ended, Christine was  pictured kissing singer Chelcee Grimes, 33.

It was revealed how  Christine   got “incredibly close”  to footballer Chelcee before  splitting from Paddy .

Yet the songwriter’s  recent fallout  with pal Christine recently came to light, with  the real reason for the pair’s toxic spat  revealed.

The former couple  have since disconnected on social media.

Now, opening up in an interview with The Mail, Christine has revealed her ex Paddy’s reaction to her dating woman.

She said: “We spoke about this after we separated – what are we comfortable with, how much did we want to share – because neither of us wants to wake up and find the other on the front page of a newspaper.

“But it’s been three years now, I don’t need to know what he’s doing and he doesn’t need to know about me.

“It just stays outside the home.”

Christine then continued to explain that she would never bring a date back home.

She shrieked: “No way! Even if I lived on my own it would be a long time before I took that step.

“I was messaging an amazing woman last year, and it took three months before I agreed to meet her for a date.

Christine has also said she would never use a dating app and meets people through friends, as her public profile is too high.

Christine refuses to discuss Paddy’s romantic life.

The implication is they have both moved on and their private lives are none of each other’s business.

But could she see herself getting married again?

“No,’ she said.

” I don’t mean I’m traumatised by marriage; I was just so young then. I didn’t understand how you’re legally tied to someone if you’re married.

“I want to be in a committed relationship, but I want the freedom to walk away.”

Paddy and  Christine first met through  a mutual friend in 2007, when she was 19 and he was 33.

In 2020, she was diagnosed with  autism  and  ADHD after spending the majority of her life confused  as to why she acted differently from everyone else growing up. 

Since then, the TV star has been raising awareness for it through  interviewstelevision  shows and public speaking.
