Paddy McGuinness appeared to be in good spirits as he descended on Manchester on Friday for a night out with a group of friends.
The presenter, 49, cut a smooth figure in a black bomber jacket and matching T-shirt, which he paired with matching trousers and trainers.
It comes two months after he announced his divorce from wife Christine after 11 years of marriage, during which the couple “lived separate lives” for months.

The outing comes after MailOnline exclusively revealed earlier this year that Paddy had separated from wife Christine after 11 years of marriage, with the couple “living a separate life” for months.
Paddy has been hit with claims that he cheated on his wife with a fellow TV star last year, and the Top Gear presenter has had to deny that he was secretly flirting with a second star behind Christine’s back.

The couple have three children – twins Leo and Penelope, eight, and Felicity, five.
In a statement confirming the split, the couple wrote: “We didn’t plan on sharing this publicly until we were ready, but after the lack of privacy around our personal lives, we feel like we have no choice but to clarify.
“We made the difficult decision to break up a while ago, but our main focus, as always, is to continue to love and support our children.

They added: “We hope this now puts a stop to any unwanted interference with our private lives.”
