The British Diversity Awards honours those who inspire change across diversity and inclusion, with more than 1,000 celebrities and influential business leaders in attendance.

Also in attendance was Claire Sweeney, who stood out in a red jumpsuit as she posed with pal DJ Fat Tony.

ITV’s Charlene White wowed in an eye-catching white suit, while comedian Rosie Jones rocked a pink suit. 

Christine split from former Take Me Out host Paddy McGuinness in 2021 after just over a decade of marriage.

They recently spent Christmas Day together for the sake of their children ; twins Penelope and Leo, 11, and Felicity, eight.

She gushed that their Christmas experience was ‘as normal as possible’ as they will always put the youngsters first.

Elaborating on co-parenting, she explained: ‘We have a planner in the kitchen between me, Patrick and the children, with the dates of any events we’ve got. We put it on there and try not to clash with each other. It’s the same with family members coming over.’

Christine previously admitted that the children do not know that their parents have separated and now she has said that she does not want to ‘upset’ them at Christmas.

She told Woman’s Own: ‘The last thing we want to do is upset our children over Christmas, so we’ll make sure we’re all together.

‘lt will be a quiet one. We always try to keep it quiet, because the children can get quite overwhelmed with the changes. So we try to keep it like a normal day but with presents.’

In October, Christine discussed how she ‘delayed dating’ anyone after the breakdown of her marriage in 2022.

Christine was in ‘no rush’ to start dating again and said she’s a ‘completely different’ person when she’s around someone she trusts.

Christine told Closer Magazine: ‘I think I delayed dating for a long time because of the worries.

‘I wasn’t in any rush at all, but then it just happened – I met somebody on my birthday, we got on really well, kept in touch and then we started dating. I’m completely different when I’m comfortable around somebody. 

‘I thought the”walking on eggshells” feeling was part of my autism, but I haven’t got that anymore.’

Christine and Paddy – who have maintained a strong relationship and still live together with their children – avoided a lengthy court battle.

Previously opening up about moving on from her ex-husband, Christine revealed the moment she met her special new person and said she’s the ‘calmest she’s ever been.’

She began: ‘I met them on my birthday through mutual friends and we’ve been dating since June. It’s someone I know. I wasn’t thinking anything at the time but we kept in touch and it’s so nice and laidback.’

The TV personality added: ‘There are no labels and that’s what’s been amazing. Paddy hasn’t met them. It’s still new and early days.

‘After having a relationship in the public eye for so long I’m not sure I want the relationship to be public. I’ve only ever known what it was like to have a relationship that’s in the public. This is nice.

‘I’ve been really open and honest from the beginning about where I’m at and they’re ok with that.’

‘I feel like I’m in good company. I don’t get a lot of time to myself but when I do it’s lovely and we laugh loads.’
