<\/p>\nChristine McGuinness signed up for Celebrity \u00adAntiques Road Trip so she could spend time with Corrie hunk Colson Smith.<\/p>\n
The pair struck up a close bond while filming ITV contest The Games last year, so she was keen to see him again. <\/p>\n
She told me: \u201cWhen I was asked to take part in Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, they said, \u2018Send us a couple of names of people you\u2019d like to do it with\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I said, \u2018There\u2019s only one person I want to do it with and that\u2019s Colson\u2019. When we met on The Games, we just spent the whole time laughing. We were the ones sat on the sidelines having a great time. We got on so well.<\/p>\n
\u201cColson lives in Manchester and I live not far away in Cheshire. So I rang him and asked him to do the show with me.\u201d Christine loved getting to see Colson again after so long. She added: \u201cIt was a bit of a \u00adreunion. We got to spend a few days together.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mum-of-three Christine, who has split from hubby Paddy, also wanted to do the show because she knew her family would love it.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cMy mum and my nan love antiques. I did the show because it\u2019s something my nan will actually watch!\u201d The \u00adepisode will air later this year on BBC Two. <\/p>\n
