HITTING the town in a strapless black mini dress, Christine McGuinness looks better than ever.

- 

There's a spring in her step, despite her towering red heels.

The model has been through a tough couple of years after her marriage to TV presenter Paddy fell apart.

But the divorce is now final - and it's given her a new lease of life.

The mum-of-three reveals she's ready to start a new chapter, despite still living with her ex.

"For so many years, I was being a mum and a wife," she says. "I was staying at home all the time. But now, my divorce is complete and I'm dating again. I'm having fun."

Confident

Christine, 36, is feeling more confident than ever.

For years the famous beauty, who has autism, has let nerves get the better of her. But not any more.

"This is the year when I'm going to go for it and take on more opportunities," she says.

"In the past I'd get an opportunity and I'd say no before even considering it.

"But now I'll look at it and see how much it will affect me mentally and physically.
