Nicola Adams has heavily alluded to her rumoured romance with Christine McGuinness, as she shared a video declaring she was ‘crazy’ about someone.
The former professional boxer, 43, is thought to have grown close to the ex-wife of Paddy McGuinness, 38, and both women have dropped several hints on social media in recent days.
Taking to Instagram on Monday with her most telling post yet, Nicola shared a video of her dancing with her eyes closed edited alongside a clip of Evan Peters doing the same dance in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
Over the top she wrote: ‘Them: “You’re not that crazy about that woman”‘, while quipping: ‘Who me? #wlw’ in the caption.
News of the Olympian gold medallist’s blossoming romance with TV personality Christine emerged last month after they attended The DIVA Awards 2026 in London – a celebration of the achievements of LGBTQIA women and non-binary people.
An onlooker said the pair’s connection was undeniable, telling the Daily Mail’s Eden Confidential: ‘They were inseparable and looked like they were a couple.’

It appears to be early days for the couple, who are now following each other on Instagram.
While a representative for Nicola said this week: ‘We don’t feel the need to make a comment at this time.’
It comes after Christine, who has dated both men and women, branded herself a ‘five star lesbian’ as she opened up on her sexuality, sex life and love of ‘Japanese bondage’.
In a recent interview on LGBTQ+ podcast It Started With A Kiss, the mother-of-three told queer icons Amy Spalding and Gareth Valentino of her dream of having a wife.
She said: ‘I would love to have a wife one day, not like a legalised marriage, but like a blessing, a celebration of love and all of that, I would love to just be saying, “this is my wife!”
‘[The double life] is ideal for me, because I don’t want to bring somebody into my personal life too quick. I like the separate life.
‘My family, my kids, my home is up there and then I come to London, step off that train, I can work, have fun, I can sleep in and I don’t need to worry about everything.’
Christine added: ‘I love a double life! And this has become a problem because eventually it gets to the point where my woman’s going:”[When] am I going to meet the kids?” And “are we doing this forever?”.
‘And I’m kind of going like, “OK, I thought I did tell you that that wasn’t going to change any time soon at the beginning”.

‘I feel like it’s always me that sticks to the plan. This has been a thing with all of the women that I’ve dated. I’ll always let them know my situation.’
The model was previously married to Paddy from 2011 to 2022 and while they happily co-parent their three children together, she’s clear that she doesn’t want to add to her brood.
Christine explained: ‘I always make sure that that’s known – that I don’t want any more children because a lot of the women that I meet usually don’t have children and they want children, whereas I’ve had them.
‘So that’s something that I try and be honest about at the beginning to anybody that I’m even talking to.’
The TV star got very personal during the interview, as she candidly shared how she will only use new sex toys in the bedroom, fresh out of the plastic.
She recalled: ‘I’ll tell you about this one date, well, it wasn’t a date, it was when I did the whole hotel thing and not the whole date thing.
‘Because I didn’t want to ever just meet someone and it just be sex, but then kind of did find myself in a place in life where I was like, “do you know what? I actually do just want to do that”.
‘Because I’ve been married, I’ve had situationships, I was single, I was celibate for six months, and with all of that, I just had a moment of – I wouldn’t mind just meeting up with someone and just seeing how it goes.

‘So I got to this hotel and I’m thinking this is just sex, it’s fine. And she was a very, very beautiful, like that perfect, pretty, handsome, like masc stud type woman. Really gorgeous, dark skin, like she had the whole, everything.
‘And we didn’t get straight down to it, but it was late. We just went to the bedroom, we sat down, she’s getting out her things, her accessories.
‘While she’s putting it on, she’s talking to me, she’s showing me, we’re just chatting away and she said that she was a Gold Star Lesbian. So I’m like, love that, love a Gold Star Lesbian.’
She joked: ‘I’m so serious. I went, “stop, no because you might be a Gold Star Lesbian, but I’m a Five Star Lesbian”.’
A Gold Star Lesbian is a slang term for a lesbian who has never had sexual or romantic experiences with men.
Further sharing about her preferences in the bedroom Christine went on to say: ‘I just think that each to their own and everything… So I was the giver for the evening and the morning, and I kept myself to myself.
‘But it’s what always happens and I’m always quite surprised, especially when it’s a masculine woman. I always expect it to be the other way around, but it just never is. It’ll always be me doing the most and they’re a pillow princess.
‘It’s only more recently I’m thinking, okay, now this is great and I love this, but I’m also very self-aware and I think I’m loving a bit of a power trip here. Now, I’m never going to be a pillow princess but I absolutely love to receive as well.’
While she also spoke about doing exclusive content on adult content platform Subs and why she enjoys taking part in Japanese bondage, Shibari.
Shibari is an art form using rope to create intricate patterns on the body, emphasising trust, communication, and emotional connection between partners.
