Top Gear host Paddy, 48, announced this month that they were going their separate ways, but she has since confirmed on Instagram that the pair will "still happily live in [the] family home together".Christine made the vow of loyalty to her beloved husband in her autobiography A Beautiful Nightmare.It had previously been rumoured that she showed Paddy the door after photos circulated of him walking arm in arm with former All Saints star, Nicole Appleton, in 2018.However the star was quick to assure fans that it wasn't the case."There were stories saying I'd kicked him out - I never did or would ever do that," she insisted."No matter how difficult things get, I would never kick my husband out."I wanted my children to have a dad at home."Nevertheless, she struggled with insecurity, admitting to breaking down in tears after her husband left the house on multiple occasions and wishing that he would simply stay at home.As she explained in A Beautiful Nightmare, her work commitments took him away from the home they shared in Cheshire all too often.Yet Christine reiterated in her book that nothing could persuade her to break up the family - her, Paddy, and their three children. "It didn't matter to me if I'd forgiven him, if I was OK with it or if I trusted him," she explained."All of that didn't count, I just wanted my children to have their father there - something I never had."The Real Housewives of Cheshire star had a "difficult" childhood, by her own account.She recalled in her book: "When I was around one, Mum found out my dad was a heroin addict."My mum longed for the relationship to work, but when I crawled over one of his needles as a toddler, she knew it was over."When her parents separated, her mother shielded her.
