Christine McGuinness posed nude in a hotel bath over the weekend and declared herself "unapologetic and unavailable" during a solo stay at The Melia White House.
The 38-year-old British model and television personality shared footage of her child-free getaway on Instagram, opting for a warming soak indoors amid stormy and chilly weather in the United Kingdom.
Her Instagram video showed her sauntering into the bathroom wearing a fluffy white robe before removing it to get into the bath.
She then pulled a series of seductive poses as she lounged around in the water and let down her long blonde hair.
Writing in the caption of her post, McGuinness told her followers: "Solo System Season is going extremely well. Enjoying my body, bank and bath on an unapologetic, unavailable and uncompromising level because my solo system needs this on prescription!"
The Melia White House stay and family life
McGuinness noted that she was staying in one of the property's upgraded suites, adding in her caption: "Especially at 'The Level' suites @themeliawhitehouse. No sharing and no caring. DND [do not disturb] for the foreseeable."
Before stepping into the tub, McGuinness also posed in her white robe and matching hotel slippers. The Melia White House is a luxury central London hotel near Regent's Park operated by the Spanish hospitality group Melia Hotels International, where The Level serves as its executive suite tier.
Additional clips from the video showed McGuinness lowering herself into the water as she made the most of her solo break away from parenting duties. She shares three children with her 53-year-old ex-husband, Paddy McGuinness: 13-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and nine-year-old daughter Felicity.
McGuinness also posed over the side of the large white tub during the clip. A former Miss Liverpool winner, Christine McGuinness gained wider recognition on the ITVBe reality series The Real Housewives of Cheshire, while Paddy McGuinness is best known for hosting the ITV dating show Take Me Out and the BBC motoring programme Top Gear.
Ibiza holiday with singer Duncan James
The hotel stay came after McGuinness recently returned to the United Kingdom from a holiday on the Spanish island of Ibiza with her friend, singer Duncan James. Last week, she took to Instagram to share a video clip from her summer adventures on the island, which she noted she believed took place in August.
In the footage, McGuinness wore a gold two-piece swimsuit as she spent time on a yacht and played in the ocean with an inflatable beach lounger. She was joined on the trip by James, his boyfriend, model and actor Alexandre Roque, and a group of friends.
Despite the lively footage on the boat, McGuinness revealed alongside the clip that she had spent most of the break alone inside her accommodation. She wrote: "True story: (I think this was August).. I had THREE whole nights to myself in Ibiza... and spent two of them pretty much hiding in my room."
She explained that James intervened to bring her out for the final day of the holiday. "Then my bestie came knocking. No questions. No judgement. No pressure. Just the perfect amount of 'come on baby, you're coming out'. This total eclipse is once in a life time, let's share it together," she wrote.
Friendship from The Real Full Monty and Celebrity Hunted
McGuinness credited James and his companions with putting her at ease for the rest of the trip. She added: "His Gawjus boyfriend, and a bunch of lovely humans who instantly made me feel welcome, and suddenly my last day looked like this I didn't shut up for 24hrs."
McGuinness and James first met in 2021 while filming The Real Full Monty, an ITV programme in which celebrities perform a choreographed striptease routine to raise awareness for cancer charities. James rose to fame in the early 2000s as a member of the British pop band Blue and later portrayed Ryan Knight on the Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks.
The pair subsequently partnered up on Channel 4's Celebrity Hunted, a reality competition in aid of Stand Up To Cancer in which celebrity pairs go on the run across Britain while attempting to evade capture by former police and intelligence officers.
Reflecting on their time on the show in her message to the singer, McGuinness concluded: "From hiding together on 'Celebrity Hunted' to him still finding me hiding and saving me years later! Fugees for life! I know I can always hide with you, but more importantly, I can always be completely myself with you @mrduncanjames."
