Christine McGuinness has shut down rumours that her and husband Paddy have split. 

The model, 38, and Top Gear host, 48, faced social media rumours earlier this week that their marriage is on the rocks. 

The TV personality quickly denied the comments in a new interview but shared a quote to her Instagram Stories admitting it has been a difficult year. 

She penned on Instagram: 'Regarding the press...There is only one thing I want to make clear right now... I didn't put us in this situation.'

The Real Housewives star also shared a quote that read: 'This year I met the most broken version of me, but also the strongest.'

Speaking to OK! Christine also cleared the air and went on to discuss the happier times in her relationship.

She said: 'We're really good, honestly. We have had difficult times but when I look back at our marriage and see where we are now, I think, "Wow, you know, we've done alright!"

The couple met 14 years ago and share three children together, twins Penelope and Leo, nine and six-year-old Felicity.

The blonde beauty, who has been married to Paddy for 11 years, went on to explain how the pair are busier than ever but still make time for family.   

She said: 'I couldn't ask for anything more from him. I'm so grateful. I'm happy, I've got no complaints. He's got a really strong bond with all of the children and he's more hands-on now than ever before.
