Christine McGuinness has declared ‘I’m more myself’ since coming out as bisexual as the star opened up about her sexuality and how she is set to become the next EL James.
The TV personality previously revealed she has exclusively dated women since her divorce from ex-husband Paddy and hasn’t held back on detailing her preferences in the bedroom.
And revealing she is currently writing an erotic novel along the lines of ’50 Shades of Gay’ Christine shared how coming out has impacted her life.
‘I feel safer, I feel more comfortable, I feel more attractive, I feel sexier — everything I prefer with women. Because I feel more myself,’ she told The Times.
She explained she also gets loads of messages from mums thanking her for being so open as they deal with a similar shift after separating from their husbands.
While she confirmed her upcoming book is fiction, the star is taking inspiration from her real life.
Christine McGuinness has declared ‘I’m more myself’ since coming out and reveals how she and ex-husband Paddy make living in the same home work
She explained: ‘[I’ll have] a bit of a block and I couldn’t get my feelings out properly — so then I’ll just write notes. I might have just had sex with someone and I’ll scribble bits… I didn’t want to forget what I was thinking.’
Despite their split four years ago, Christine and Paddy still live in the same home they designed in Cheshire.
The pair share three children including 11-year-old twins Penelope and Leo and eight-year-old Felicity – all of whom have autism.
Living together for the sake of their family, she explained: ‘It’s not hard ever between me and Patrick — we’re family, we’re there for the kids and whatever happens outside the house we don’t bring it in. If one of us wants to move on properly [with dating] then we need to talk about getting separate places, but none of us want to sell the house.’
Christine previously delved into her dating life and sexuality during an appearance on the It Started With A Kiss podcast.
In the candid, sex-positive chat, Christine branded herself a ‘five-star lesbian’ and shared that she is attracted to a masculine woman and during intimacy she prefers to be the dominant one.
She confessed: ‘I just like to make sure that they know that I’m not just here to lie down. I’m here to eat. I’m hungry.’
She told queer icons Amy Spalding and Gareth Valentino: ‘I would love to have a wife one day, not like a legalised marriage, but like a blessing, a celebration of love and all of that, I would love to just be saying, “this is my wife.”’
‘[The double life] is ideal for me, because I don’t want to bring somebody into my personal life too quick. I like the separate life. My family, my kids, my home is up there and then I come to London, step off that train, I can work, have fun, I can sleep in and I don’t need to worry about everything.’
Admitting she isn’t set on being in a serious relationship just yet she added: ‘I’m just seeing how things go and just figuring out. I’m trying to not plan too far ahead.

She said: ‘ I feel safer, I feel more comfortable, I feel more attractive, I feel sexier — everything I prefer with women. Because I feel more myself’
‘I think with me, I can panic and I can pause if I think of the future too much. So I’m just trying to enjoy now. Enjoy the moment.’
No longer a recluse, Christine appears to have a full social life as she explained: ‘I tend to just meet people out and about like at events and stuff. I’m quite lucky that I’m mixing in circles with you know a lot of gay, bi and pans [pansexuals].’
The star also admitted that while she wouldn’t do OnlyFans, she does Subs, which is a similar subscription based service that gives her fans exclusive content.
She confirmed: ‘It’s not like adult content. I don’t do adult content. It’s like sensual. It’s like lingerie or it might be experiences.
So, one of the things was Shibari.’
Shibari is an art form using rope to create intricate patterns on the body, emphasizing trust, communication, and emotional connection between partners.
She said: ‘It’s only more recently I’m thinking, okay, now this is great and I love this, but I’m also very self-aware and I think I’m loving a bit of a power trip here. Now, I’m never going to be a pillow princess but I absolutely love to receive as well.’
Talking further about Shibari, she said: ‘Yes! It’s so good! I was doing it, it wasn’t really about like to be sexual, it was more about the feeling of letting go, allowing yourself to be vulnerable.
‘So this was part of me getting to know myself after my divorce and then dating women and realising that with women that I quite liked wanting to be more dominant and wanting to be in control.
‘So that’s why I went to Shibari because the tying-up part is to see if you’re happy to be vulnerable and let go. Let somebody else tie you up. It’s not that they’re going to do anything. It’s more for you to be… are you okay with it?
‘And you sort of by the end of it, you’ll know if you’re the one who wants to do everything or you’re the one who doesn’t.
‘And there’s no right or wrong. But for me it was pretty like 50/50. I want to do both… I want to tie you up and I want you to tie me up. I want both. That’s what I’m learning.’
