REALITY stars Christine McGuinness and Dan Osborne comforted one another amid their marital woes, we can reveal.
The pair sent flirty texts and model Christine said Dan had joined her for raucous nights out that helped lift her spirits after her split from radio and TV host husband Paddy.

A pal told The Sun: “Dan and Christine have known each other for years.
“Their friendship goes as far back as 2019, when Jac was heading Down Under to the I’m A Celeb jungle, when they had a brilliant night out at a fund-raising gala in London.
“They stayed in touch sporadically and would bump into each other at events and their messages got pretty flirty.
“Some were seen by mutual friends.
“She would call him ‘D’ in texts and it became an open secret among their circles.
“There is no suggestion anything sexual happened, but it’s fair to say there was a spark between them.”

They also partied together at a restaurant called Habbibi in Leeds.
Our source went on: “She is absolutely adamant nothing sexual happened between them.
“She also was 100 per cent single at the time and could chat to anyone she wanted.”
EastEnders star Jacqueline. 32, and Christine, 37, are both represented by the InterTalent agency.
Former Towie star Dan, 33, is adamant nothing happened romantically between the pair, even suggesting that the text messages between them were “deep fakes or AI” when asked.
A pal said: “Dan is devoted to Jacqueline and would hate for any suggestion of impropriety.
“Of course, it’s possible for a man and woman to be mates.”
A source close to Christine said: “Dan mainly led the way with texts but there was lots of platonic stuff about their kids.”
Earlier this year, The Sun revealed Dan had moved out of his and Jacqueline’s home and into a property he had bought behind his wife’s back.

Both temporarily removed their wedding rings.
It was the second time they had parted ways over the past few years.
Although it was claimed mum-of-two Jacqueline was furious, she later insisted the property purchase was for investment purposes only.
Christine, married to Paddy for 11 years — and who has won an award for her documentary about her autism struggles — recently pulled out of Channel 4 show, Celebs Go Dating.
Another friend added: “Christine is in a great place.
“She and Paddy are getting on well, everything is amicable, and she’s super-excited about the future.
“Life is good.
“Her friendship with Dan seems a lifetime ago.
“They don’t really speak now.”
‘Positive vibes’
Christine and Dan have been involved in charity football matches with Sellebrity Soccer together, including in February 2023.
She also managed Dan and other celebs in a game in February last year, in which he captained the team and scored in a 6-4 win on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent.
Proudly celebrating their victory, Christine wrote on online: “It was my positive vibes I was sending.
“My men never let me down, we only do winning.”
Dan has previously been hit by claims of cheating.
But a pal insisted this behaviour was all “very much in the past”.
Just months after fan favourite Jacqueline was crowned Queen of the I’m A Celeb Jungle, Dan admitted to infidelity.
He told The Sun he “takes full responsibility for being crap”.
He said: “I’ve made mistakes.
“I’ve done things I shouldn’t have done.
“Me and Jac have spoken about that and she has forgiven me.
“I know in the past I’ve denied things when they’re not true, then when something has been true, I probably just kept my mouth shut.

But, before she struts into the villa this weekend, Megan revealed she’s more often likened to a far less fabulous beast.
Megan laughed: “I’ve been compared to Donkey from Shrek quite a lot!
“He’s loveable but annoying.”
Thanks to a lightning bolt scar on her forehead, she gets called Harry Potter, too.
It’s a souvenir of a nightclub mishap.
“I fell down the stairs… but I stood back up ready for that picture, blood dripping down my forehead.
“Luckily, I like Harry Potter. It’s an icebreaker.”
Megan will need all the help she can get when the series begins on Monday at 9pm on ITV2, as the lads are already waving red flags.
Taxi driver Ben Holbrough said: “I’m a very bad texter.
“I’ve got a good excuse though, I’m a taxi driver.
“By law, I can’t text you back [while driving]. I’m just abiding by the law…”
But he said: “I’ve dated people leading up to the show, but nothing was serious.”
Megan might fare better with Shrek, at this rate.

LOVE Island’s Harry Cooksley warned his MUM about watching him romp on TV.
Love Island’s Harry has no issue romping on TVShutterstock EditorialThis year’s cast will see their steamy romps shown in full – something that hasn’t happened for five years[/caption]
He is mindful his mother will be avidly watching the show, but says he gave her the heads up.
Speaking ahead of Monday’s launch show, Harry said: “Listen, it’s not out of the question [that I’ll have sex on TV].
“If it feels right then I will – and I have briefed my mum as well.
“So yeah, if it feels right and it’s the right time I’m definitely open to it.”
A stunning woman, who The Sun chose not to name, claimed that Harry was a “liar” who had told her he was flying out to Bali, not to the villa in Mallorca.
Harry insisted they weren’t in a relationship, saying: “I’ve been dating for the last year, I’ve dated people leading up to the show, but nothing serious.
“I mean it wasn’t like a ‘dumping’, we dated. I told her I was going away for the summer and we left it there.”

‘Dumping’ makes it sound “terrible”, he said, adding: “I definitely haven’t dumped anyone.
“I think that is the reputation of footballers, but that’s not who I am.
“I’ve got a mullet and I’m 30. I’m ready for something.”
He’s now focused on finding a connection in the villa, but won’t stand for being in any love triangles.
He said: “If someone can take my girl from me then she was never my girl.”
Harry refuses to play games in the villa, insisting he wants to find something serious – and could even end up leaving with a girlfriend.
He said: “I like to think I play it cool with women and I’m kind of relaxed, but it’s so heightened in there, where you spend so much time together and when I fall for someone I fall hard and I fall fast.”

And now he’s open to getting down and dirty in the villa – and has even worked out a way to hide his bedroom antics.
Ben told The Sun and other press said: “I can never say never, you know, you gotta take every day as it comes.
“Who knows if there’s a girl and I sharing a bed with and she’s sexy, who knows what it’s gonna cuddling every night, it could get carried away.”
The 6ft 2ins model from Gloucester teased: “The hideaway is there for the taking as well, so we’ll wait and see.
“I’ve already told my family that I will try and keep it as PG as possible, because I have my niece watching so I do need to make an effort to keep it PG.
“But then again, there’s nothing wrong with just putting a quick cover over, so I could just do that and people will think we’re just having a quick cuddle, and that that is all it was.”
Ben, who is a private hire taxi driver, is a big fan of showing off his six pack in mirror selfies on social media.
In a video on his Star Now modelling page, he said: “My main line of work is modelling, which I’ve been doing for about five or six years now.
“But when I’m not doing that, my hobbies are either going to the gym or playing football.”
But their beauty is more than skin deep, as ITV2 has amassed a group with real kudos.
Former fire-breather Sophie Lee has campaigned for real beauty since she was scarred for life when her act went disastrously wrong, whilst Alima Gagigo has a BA degree in international business.

1 week agoNew York StateComments Off on I bought an abandoned house with no electric for 75p – I’ve funded renovations by sharing my DIY online
A YOUNG woman has revealed how she transformed an abandoned house and got paid for it in the process.
Tia Weston bought the abandoned property for just 75p and quickly got to work with her dad to turn it into her dream home.
YouTube/Tia WestonTia Weston bought a house for 75p[/caption]
YouTube/Tia WestonIt was st to be burnt down by the fire department but she turned it into her dream home[/caption]
Taking to YouTube, Tia said: “I’m taking you through the full start to finish process of turning this abandoned house into my dream home.
“It had no heat, no water, no electricity and it was used for storage for over 30 years.
“It was in such bad shape that at one point it was going to be given to the fire department to be burnt down.”
She said that in total it cost her £29,000 to renovate the property.
While some of the money came from selling her previous home, some of the cash came from sharing the renovation journey online.
Through posting the transformation on YouTube she was able to get revenue from advertisements to help fund the cost.
Tia and her dad had their work cut out for them, some of the wood on the roof had gone rotten and the flooring was also affected.
She also had to pay to get the entire house to have electricity running through it as well as new windows because the house was so old.
New plumbing also had to be fitted into the house so that Tia could renovate the bathroom.
After the basics were done, Tia moved on to clearing the house out and redecorating the space.
YouTube/Tia WestonThe stunning renovation left people in awe[/caption]
The house had been left in disarray and used to store wood and old furniture.
But she managed to transform it into a colourful modern space for herself.
Inside the house, she used a light, pine wood for the floors, doors and finishes to add some much needed light into the home.
She used pastel colours throughout to make it more homely as well.
Home upgrades that add the most value to a house
The best renovation to add value totally depends on your property, the local market and your potential buyers.
Zoopla shared a list of upgrades that will instantly add value to your home.
Loft conversion – increase of 15%
Off-street parking – adds £50,000 to property price
New kitchen – increase of 15%
Garage conversion – increase of 15%
Cellar or basement conversion – increase of 10-15%
Open plan living space – increase of 3-5%
New bathroom – increase of 3-5%
The transformation had left people stunned and they were quick to praise Tia and her dad for their hard work.
One person wrote: “The coolest part is that you did this all with your dad. You will always hold this memory in your heart.”
Another commented: “I am a 61-year-old lifetime remodeler. You did a GREAT job young lady!”
“Well done. You’ve done an amazing job,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I wish more people would renovate instead of tearing down older houses. You all did such a great job!”
Someone else added: “The contrast between where you started and where you ended up is insane! Your hard work has really paid off.”
