Nicole Appleton has packed her suitcases and left the country after getting caught up in affair rumours with Paddy McGuinness
Celeb bombshell of the week award DEFINITELY goes to Paddy McGuinness and Nicole Appleton, who were seen walking arm in arm in London in the small hours of Saturday morning.
Since then, there has been a LOT of speculation not only about the state of Paddy's marriage to Christine, with whom he has three young children - but also the extent of Nicole's friendship with the Take Me Out star.
According to The Sun, Paddy and Nicole have been exchanging flirty tweets for months, with Nicole apparently liking a whopping 124 of Paddy's Instagram snaps.

Nicole then responded with "Thanks!" and a load of emojis before ending with a kiss.
Paddy put his foot down yesterday, unfollowing Nicole on all social media and was snapped looking very downcast - but later reuniting with his wife and sharing a loving embrace.
But Nicole has taken some very drastic action of her own - packing her suitcase and fleeing the country.
It's not been reported on Nicole's current whereabouts, but she was eager to make a quick getaway, getting into a taxi at around 7pm with a hat pulled low over her face.
Hmm...
Christine sparked split rumours earlier this week after posting a very cryptic tweet.
She was then snapped wiping tears away while sat in her car, before photographs emerged of her and Paddy hugging outside their home in Cheshire.
We hope everything works out ok for the family!
