Paddy McGuinness swerves Flackstock amid Christine split – despite being on line-up

Paddy McGuinness wasn't spotted at the Flackstock festival, held in memory of Caroline Flack, on Monday July 25 following his split from wife Christine, despite being named on the line-up

Paddy McGuinness was noticeably missing from the Flackstock festival on Monday July 25, following his split from wife Christine.

Top Gear host Paddy, 48, was billed on the lineup of the festival, which was held in memory of Caroline Flack following her death in 2020.

The lineup poster had Paddy listed as a headliner for her festival, which took place at Englefield House in Redding, alongside Joel Dommett, Fleur East, Keith Lemon and many more.

Despite other stars posting on social media at the festival and being snapped at the charity event Paddy was noticeably missing.

Mirror has contacted Paddy's representatives for comment.

Celebs who attended the event in memory of the Love Island presenter shared videos of photos from the performances, including Pixie Lott and Natalie Imbruglia.

During the festival, Celebrity Juice star Keith, 49, shared a video of Dermott O'Leary paying tribute to Caroline on stage as he said of the event: "Caroline would have loved this. She wouldn't be here right now, she'd still be in traffic but if she was here she'd be backstage.

"But she would have loved every second of this. Thank you one and all for coming out, it's a pleasure to see you. Thank you."

Meanwhile, Ronan Keating was joined by a crowd of stars who danced on stage as he performed his hit Life is a Rollercoaster.

Fluer East, Pixie Lott and Louise Redknapp also performed at the festival, with 47-year-old Louise paying tribute to Caroline in an emotional Instagram post ahead of her performance.

As she shared a series of throwback snaps from her friendship with Caroline, she wrote in the caption: "Today is all for you my girl See you later @flackstock let’s do our girl proud! Xxx".

Paddy's absence from the event comes days after it was announced he and his wife Christine had separated after 15 years together and 11 years of marriage.

The couple shared a joint statement following months of split speculation on their Instagram stories.

It read: "We hadn't planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify.

"A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus was as always is to continue loving and supporting our children.

"This was not an easy decision to make but we're moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children.

"We'll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together."

The joint statement continued: "We hope this now draws a line under anymore unwanted and unnecessary intrusion into our private life.

"Although we work in the public eye we ask kindly if you could respect our wishes for privacy on this matter. We'll be making no further comment."
