Take Me Out to lunch: Paddy McGuinness and fiancée enjoy a bite in sunny Manchester

Happy couple: Comedian Paddy McGuinness and fiancée Christine Martin take a stroll in the Manchester sunshine

He may help lovelorn singletons find romance on his dating show Take Me Out, but host Paddy McGuinness clearly needs no help in that department.

The comedian took his young fiancée Christine Martin for a romantic stroll in the sunshine in Manchester before treating her to an al fresco lunch.

Thepair, who became engaged at Christmas, smiled and laughed as they walked hand in hand.

Christine, 22, showed off her tanned legs in denim shorts and a cream vest top with frill and pearl detailing, while Paddy, who is 15 years her senior, kept it casual in a white T-shirt and khaki knee-length trousers.

The former Miss Liverpool showed off diamond engagement ring as she snacked on a shared plate of chips with her funny man fiancée.

The couple began dating in 2008 and friends describe them as 'seriously loved-up'.

'His career is going well and now he's getting married,' a source told the Sun at the time of their engagement. 'It's turning out to be a great time.'

Paddy was recently voted fourth in a poll of funniest comedy duos, with his Pheonix Nights partner Peter Kay. Gavin and Stacey stars James Corden and Mathew Horne came in first.

The 36-year-old is on hiatus from the Saturday night dating show, which returns to screens in the fall. He has described the ITV show in the past as a 'guilty pleasure'.

The suitor enters the studio while each of the girls has a light in front of them, and if they decide that he is not what they are looking for, they switch it off.

The women continue to rule themselves in or out as more and more details of his personality and life are revealed before eventually one is chosen to go on a date.
