Christine's date didn't hold back, getting straight into the deep questions, by asking: "How are you finding this, dating in general?"

"I haven't dated an awful lot," the 37-year-old model replied. Emotionally opening up, Christine added: "I was married for a long time. It took me a while to even think about spending time with anyone."

The star, who has dated women since her divorce, continued: "The women that I've spent time with in the last couple of years, I already knew them. So I didn't have that anxiety," she laughed as the pair spoke about how daunting dating could be.

Leanne is also a mother of three, as she told her date that she was having "me time" away in Ibiza.

"Do you feel okay about it?" Christine asked, as Leanne confirmed she did. "Me too," Christine continued. "I think I carried mum guilt for far too long. Every now and then, it creeps back in."

As Christine's first date at the agency came to a close, she told the camera "it went really, really well," and gushed about how Leanne made her feel comfortable.

The feelings were mutual with Leanne, as she told the cameras she wanted to go on another date, although Christine wasn't sure whether the connection could grow into anything deeper.

It came after Christine opened up to celebrity dating agents Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson about hersplit from ex-husband, Paddy McGuinness in 2022.

"Anyone can make mistakes but I think the trust was broken," she explained. "I'll always love him, he's the father of my children and I think he's the only man that I'll ever love," she said.

"A lot of people make mistakes and mess up, and when you're in a couple who is quite well known in the industry, obviously then everyone knows your business. He was getting a really, really difficult time in the press," she continued - although she didn't expand on the 'mistakes'.

To clarify, celebrity dating agent Anna asked: "Because of that?"

"Yeah, and I didn't like that," Christine responded. "It was a lot for him and I just really wanted it to stop. So it was me that said ‘enough is enough.'"

Opening up about her guilt, Christine continued: "So, in some ways I suppose I still carry that feeling of, 'Well it's my fault because I ended it,'" as Paul looked on in shock.
