CHRISTINE McGuinness has shared a peek inside her Christmas with ex-husband Paddy.
The couple announced their shock split last year but Christine, 35, previously revealed they'd spend the festive period together for their three children.
Taking to Instagram former Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine stunned as she posed in a Christmas-themed onesie.
And, despite the tough year for her and Paddy, 50, she insisted twins Penelope and Leo, nine, and Felicity, seven, had "their best Christmas yet".
She wrote: "They have worn their big smiles all day, they opened their presents calmly and played well together sharing toys.
"They’re now relaxing with full tummy’s watching The Grinch!
I am one very happy (exhausted) mummy!"

Christine also posted a clip of her testing out a new dance mat as she jumped around in a low cut black vest top.
She recently told Closer: “Of course me and Paddy will be spending Christmas together because we still live in the same house.
“I think we’ve got to move on, but for now it works for the children. We both go in and out and we’ve got a schedule we try to stick to and a routine for the kids.
"The one thing we agree on more than anything is that we just want what’s best for our children, and that’s to be a good mum and dad.”

Christine added that "being present" with the kids is far better than any gift she could give them.
"So, around Christmas time, I always make sure that I’m at home more than ever – I love it," she said.
And, speaking to Vicky Pattison on The Secret To... podcast Christine said Top Gear and Take Me Out presenter Paddy has dipped into the dating scene, but has not found himself ready to move on to a new relationship either.
She said: “We talk an awful lot and we're very open. He has said to me when he's been going on a date.
"We still live in the same house. But I think both of us right now we're very much in the same place, where we're just like just don't really know what to do or where to go.”
