Christine MAKING MOVES
Just five months after splitting from her husband of 11 years, Christine McGuinness, 34, was spotted kissing close friend and singer Chelcee Grimes.

We’re still going to do Christmas together… he is my best friend… and I’m very, very keen that we don’t lose that element of it.’
Jane went on to explain that, ‘In the new year we plan to sell up and find our own places. Not quite John Alderton and Hannah Gordon in the 70s sitcom My Wife Next Door, but hopefully near enough that we can keep our strong
