I’m A Celebrity gets underway in around a month and Christine McGuinness is the next name to be linked with the ITV show and didn’t exactly dismiss the idea in an interview
Reality star Christine McGuinness has set tongues wagging that she is ready to sign up for I’m A Celebrity.
She’s sparked rumours that she could be appearing after nervously swerving the subject on Will Njobvu’s Tea Time podcast. She tactically didn’t quite answer the question – and it has left everyone speculating that she could join the jungle line-up, with the show likely to kick-off in mid November.
When asked about going on, savvy Christine was quick to put the question back on host asking: “Would you do it?” He responded: “I’m asking you, don’t throw it back at me! Is that something you’ve ever been interested in?” Sheepish Christine took a pause then told him: “Could you ever really say no to a show like that?”

She eventually went on: “Would I want to do it, absolutely not. But would I do it? Ooo, I can’t even bring myself to say yes.” The date for the 2025 series has yet to be confirmed by ITV, but boss have started to gear up for the new series with the long-running show set to receive a glow-up’.
Social media star Angry Ginge, who has more than three million followers across his platforms including Instagram and Tik Tok, is one of a few names already being thrown into the hat. Other in the mix are Emmerdale star Lisa Riley and former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty.
Christine could be keen for another reason – she’s got a book to push. She has revealed she’s planning to pen a tell-all memoir about her experiences. The model is hoping to share intimate details of her personal journey with her fans. She is no stranger to writing about her life, having previously published an autobiography that hit shelves in 2021.
She has now confirmed she’s considering crafting a follow-up book, describing it as a heartfelt tribute to those who have stood by her. Her initial memoir covered her journey up to the time of publication, chronicling her path to fame and her romance with Take Me Out personality Paddy McGuinness. However, much has changed for the star after her separation from the television host, as well as her navigating her recent autism diagnosis.
Speaking to the Daily Star this weekend, Christine shared, “I did an autobiography about four years ago and some big things have happened since then. It would be amazing to do a second one; I can write about what happened next – I love writing.”
Christine has been through some significant life changes over the last four years, leaving her with plenty to talk about in a book. She continued, “I’ve never written about being diagnosed with autism and ADHD. I can write about that part of my life as well as other stuff.”
She is also expected to spill the beans about her split from husband Paddy, and she’s likely to share details about her recent revelation of dating women as well. She’s promising not to hold back, expressing her need to reveal everything about her tumultuous past four years.
She added, “It’s amazing to get to do an autobiography. When you do one, you have to be honest and personal. You have to embrace it.” Christine has previously opened up about her relationship with Paddy, who she was happily married to for 11 years.
Discussing the breakup on Celebs Go Dating, she confessed that she had been grappling with guilt over ending the marriage, but asserted that she had reached a point where “enough was enough.”
She explained, “Anyone can make mistakes but I think the trust was broken,” hinting at some wrongdoing on Paddy’s part. She continued: “I’ll always love him, he’s the father of my children and I think he’s the only man that I’ll ever love.”
Christine also recently opened up on her diagnosis with Raynaud’s disease, the mum-of-three said she first noticed something was wrong at the beginning of the year when she’d struggled to do up her kids’ uniforms, as her hands unexpectedly seized up.
The mum of three has also been a contestant on a variety of shows, taking part in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, All Star Mr & Mrs, Pilgrimage: the Road through North Wales and Celebrity MasterChef. She also appeared on Celebs Go Dating earlier this year before quitting weeks in.
