Christine McGuinness was reportedly spotted getting “quite close” to Premier League footballer Jesse Lingard at the Sexy Fish launch party in Manchester recently.
The 35-year-old TV personality, who split from husband Paddy, 50, in July 2022 after 11 years of marriage, is said to have caught the attention of the 30-year-old midfielder.
And it’s no surprise that the beauty flaunted her voluptuous assets in a racy black PVC corset and tiny gray miniskirt at the star-studded event.
One onlooker told The Sun: “Christine and Jesse chatted for ages.”
“It’s clear that Jesse was smitten with Christine and they looked pretty similar.”

Midfielder Jesse has played for Man United, Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Birmingham and scored eight goals for England.
This comes despite Christine saying she was “embracing her era of freedom” more than a year after her marriage broke up.
Earlier this month, she revealed that she clearly has no plans to start dating again anytime soon by posting a montage of herself happily enjoying the single life on Instagram.
Christine gave her 700,000 followers a glimpse into her independent life by showing off a night out drinking cocktails, going on solo hikes, working out and laying in bed alone.
And although Christine was reportedly seen kissing her friend Chelcee Grimes, she revealed she’s just as happy in her own company as ever.
She confessed: “I am a happy little loner, embracing my era of freedom and living beyond what exists.”
In addition, she released an audio reading: “She was happy.” She lived for herself and enjoyed her own company. They called it loneliness. She called it freedom.’
This comes after Christine revealed that her mother Joanne had been “her rock” during her divorce from Paddy and she was “looking forward to this year being over”.

Now Christine has said she plans to “start 2024 with a bang” after a difficult year.
Speaking at the Pink Ribbon Foundation charity gala at London’s Underglobe, she said: “She was my rock and a huge inspiration to me,” The Mirror reported.
In 2020, Joanne was diagnosed with breast cancer. In 2021, Christine confirmed that she was in remission and that she herself had received a negative test for the BRCA (breast cancer gene).
She continued: “Of course there are a lot of changes and it’s not easy, but I’m really looking forward to 2024.”
“I know you shouldn’t wish for your life, but I’m excited for this year to be over and for me to start next year fresh with a bang.” “I really want to focus on the positive and the best of one new year and new opportunities.”
