Christine McGuinness has admitted she 'wildly overshared' on a LGBTQ+ podcast where she branded herself a 'five star lesbian' and discussed Japanese bondage. In a recent interview on the podcast It Started With A Kiss, the 38-year-old mother-of-three, who has dated both men and women, opened up about her sexuality, sex life, and love of Japanese bondage.
Behind-the-Scenes Clips Shared on Instagram
Now Christine has shared an array of behind-the-scenes clips from the shoot, expressing how much she enjoyed recording her first queer podcast. On Saturday, she posted the clips on Instagram, writing: 'Thank you for all the love on @itstartedwithakiss. My first full queer pod and I had the BEST time… We laughed, we danced, and I (yes, just me) wildly overshared! 10/10 would do it again.'
In the clips, Christine was seen singing along to the lyrics 'you're a bad idea but a real good time' from Bella Kay's song iloveitiloveitiloveit.
Desire for a Wife and Double Life
During the interview, Christine told queer icons Amy Spalding and Gareth Valentino: 'I would love to have a wife one day, not like a legalised marriage, but like a blessing, a celebration of love and all of that. I would love to just be saying, "this is my wife!"' She added: 'The double life is ideal for me, because I don't want to bring somebody into my personal life too quick. I like the separate life. My family, my kids, my home is up there and then I come to London, step off that train, I can work, have fun, I can sleep in and I don't need to worry about everything.'
Christine explained: 'I love a double life! And this has become a problem because eventually it gets to the point where, obviously, I'm quite happy at this, and then my woman's going… [When] am I going to meet the kids? And "are we doing this forever?" And I'm kind of going like, "OK, I thought I did tell you that that wasn't going to change any time soon at the beginning".'
She continued: 'I feel like it's always me that sticks to the plan. This has been a thing with all of the women that I've dated. I'll always let them know my situation.'
No More Children and Honest Communication
Christine was married to Paddy from 2004 to 2011, and while they happily co-parent their three children together, she is clear that she does not want any more children. 'I always make sure that that's known,' she said. 'And that I don't want any more children because a lot of the women that I meet usually don't have children and they want children, whereas I've had them. So that's something that I try and be honest about at the beginning to anybody that I'm even talking to.'
Five Star Lesbian and Sex Toy Preferences
Christine got very personal during the interview, stating that she will only use new sex toys in the bedroom, fresh out of the plastic. She said: 'I'm so serious. I went, "stop, no because you might be a Gold Star Lesbian, but I'm a Five Star Lesbian."' A Gold Star Lesbian is a slang term for a lesbian who has never had sexual or romantic experiences with men.
She recounted a date: 'I got to this hotel and I'm thinking this is just sex, it's fine. And she was a very, very beautiful, like that perfect, pretty, handsome, like masc stud type woman, really gorgeous, dark skin, like she had the whole, everything. And we didn't get straight down to it, but it was late, we just went to the bedroom, we sat down, she's getting out her things, her accessories. While she's putting it on, she's talking to me, she's showing me, we're just chatting away and she said that she was a Gold Star Lesbian. So I'm like, love that, love a Gold Star Lesbian.'
She added: 'But it's what always happens and I'm always quite surprised, especially when it's a masculine woman. I always expect it to be the other way around, but it just never is. It'll always be me doing the most and they're a pillow princess.'
First Kiss with a Woman and Japanese Bondage
Christine recalled her first kiss with a woman after leaving Paddy, saying: 'I remember that first kiss just being so soft and so nice and so feminine.' She also spoke about doing exclusive content on adult content platform Subs and why she enjoys taking part in Japanese bondage, Shibari. Shibari is an art form using rope to create intricate patterns on the body, emphasizing trust, communication, and emotional connection between partners.
She said: 'It's only more recently I'm thinking, okay, now this is great and I love this, but I'm also very self-aware and I think I'm loving a bit of a power trip here. Now, I'm never going to be a pillow princess but I absolutely love to receive as well.'
Rumoured Romance with Nicola Adams
It comes after reports that Christine is getting close to Olympic boxing star Nicola Adams, 43. The pair recently attended The DIVA Awards 2026, a celebration of the achievements of LGBTQIA women and non-binary people, at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in London, where their blossoming romance was undeniable. An onlooker told Daily Mail's Eden Confidential: 'They were inseparable and looked like they were a couple.' It appears to be early days for Christine and the retired sports star, who are now following each other on Instagram. A representative for Nicola said: 'We don't feel the need to make a comment at this time.'
