PADDY McGuinness has broken his social media silence for the first time since his shock split with his wife Christine.
The TV host took to his Instagram stories to give a sneak peek at all the snacks the Top Gear team had packed into a car ahead of filming for the new series.

Paddy, 48, made his return to Instagram on Wednesday afternoon after it was revealed he had split from Christine, 34, last week, after 11 years of marriage and three children together.
Model Christine took to the social media platform to confirm they were putting up a “united” front for their kids.
The couple, who have been rocked by cheating allegations, had kept it quiet about their decision to separate at the start of June.
Having taken time out following the split news, Paddy returned to social media to discuss filming for the new Top Gear series.
Panning round the extensive collection of snacks, packed into a car boot, he joked in a video: “Back on Top Gear and we take our snacking very seriously.”
The dad-of-three revealed all the goodies he and his co-stars Freddie Flintoff and Chris Harris would chow down on during filming.
The trio – who took over presenting the motoring series in 2019 – had chosen Oreo cookies, Aero chocolates and white Snickers.
There were also protein bars and a “big box of biscuits” in the car, which Paddy claimed as his in the social media clip.
He signed off with a snap of him behind the wheel of his Range Rover – steering clear of discussing his recent split.
Despite announcing their split this month, the couple actually decided to separate at the start of June — but kept it quiet.
Pals close to The Games star Christine, said she had pushed for the split and wanted to be open about their break-up. But 48-year-old Top Gear co-host Paddy insisted they keep a “united front”.
A source said: “Christine and Paddy spent weeks of hiding it – but she couldn’t keep it up. She was in the driving seat when it came to finally ending their marriage.”
The source added of the couple, who have three young children: “Christine and Paddy ended their marriage early in June. She made it very clear to those close to her that it was over. Paddy, however, wanted to put on a united front.
“He wanted to control the narrative and Christine felt like she had no option but to go along with it.
“But in the last week she said they couldn’t carry on and pushed for them to go public. She has had enough of putting on a brave face.”
Christine confirmed they had separated in an Instagram post yesterday — days after The Celeb Report revealed how Paddy had been accused of kissing a television star behind her back.
In a joint statement the couple, whose children all live with autism, said they wanted to “clarify” speculation about their private life.
