CHRISTINE McGuinness was branded “fake” by ex-pal Chelcee Grimes after the pair fell out following their close friendship.
It’s been revealed how Christine, 37, got “incredible close” to footballer Chelcee, 33, before splitting from husband Paddy, 51, in 2022.
Despite their once tight bond, the two women are thought to have “little to no contact” these days.
They suddenly unfollowed each other on social media in 2023.
And last year Chelcee teased a new romance on Instagram before liking a damning comment about Christine.
It read “Christine is fake as they come, Chelcee deserved so much better.
“Christine can keep trying to get attention and fake a new romance.”
The former pals met while taking part in ITV’s The Games in 2022 – months before Christine and Paddy announced their shock split.
Last year Christine revealed she is currently celibate – but Chelcee, who also previously abstained from sex, blasted her for “copying” her.
Writing on Instagram she said of Christine: “Honestly just gotta laugh at this point. Copies everything I do.”
Christine recently opened up about having relationships with both men and women.
Speaking on the How To Fail podcast, Christine said: “It shouldn’t matter somebody’s gender.
“It never mattered to me, which was why once me and my ex-husband were separated and I met people, I didn’t properly date.
‘It was more like blurred the lines of friendships for me, that was normal.
“It felt comfortable because I’d done that as a teenager and I, as a teenager, I dated both men and women.”
Last month Christine, who shares twins Leo and Penelope, eight, and 11-year-old Felicity with Paddy, made the decision to quit Celebs Go Dating after flying to Ibiza for filming.
