In a separate post, Top Gear presenter Paddy shared a photo of himself similarly posing inside Santa's festive grotto. Beneath the snap he noted: "Great to see Father Christmas yesterday. I asked for… Peace on Earth. An end to all disease. Cure for baldness. Not necessarily in that order."

Fans raced to heap praise on the duo, with one writing: "That looks stunning," whilst a second remarked: "Looks beautiful all lit up, making memories to treasure."

"Looking absolutely radiant and happy," gushed a third, and a fourth added: "You look amazing. You're such an amazing mum making memories for your beautiful children."

Paddy and Christine's rural retreat comes after the couple announced their separation in July this year after 11 years of marriage. Despite going their separate ways, the doting parents continue to co-parent their three children at their Cheshire mansion.

At the time, the duo shared a joint statement which read: "A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus 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.
