They began dating in 2008 and friends describe the pair as 'seriously loved-up'. 'His career is going well and now he's getting married,' a source told the Sun. 'It's turning out to be a great time.'

Bikini queen: Model Christine off dutyPaddy, who has made 'no likey, no lighty' his catchphrase, describes the ITV Saturday night show as a 'guilty pleasure'. The show aims to match a single man with one of 30 female contestants from across the UK.

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.

If there is more than one woman wanting to date the suitor it is understood he will select his preference. Even Paddy's Sunday football team are hooked on the programme. 'My teammates are really blokey blokes and I wasn't sure what they would think of it,' he admits. 'I was in the pub after a game having a beer and one went, "What's happening with this Daisy? Are you going to get her a date?" 'I'm thinking, 'Am I really having this conversation with my football team?''

Christine was crowned Miss Liverpool in 2007

The couple relaxed on lounges and at one point Kayte's pulled her bikini straps down to avoid getting tan lines on her shoulders. The blonde was seen giggling along with her older TV star boyfriend as they settled in for a day of relaxation in the sun. Kelsey is in town for The Miami Boat Show, but the loved-up star made sure to take some time out to spend time with his fiancée.

Earlier this week, Kelsey appeared in a more passionate mood than ever. He put his love for Kayte on display earlier this week when he dived in for a lusty lip lock in front of numerous onlookers at JFK airport on Tuesday. The couple were waiting in the terminal for their luggage at a baggage carousel. Grabbing his girlfriend's face, the Frasier star went in for the steamy kiss while she stood with her eyes closed and arms crossed. It is clear Kelsey has put his marriage to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille well and truly behind him.

The TV star has been all about new love after attending his own daughter's wedding last week. The ceremony took place last Friday, just one day after his divorce from Camille was finalised.Kelsey and Kayte were spotted together at New York City Hall for his 27-year-old daughter Spencer's big day. Spencer's mother is Doreen Alderman who was Kelsey's first wife.

Camille and Kelsey were granted a quickie divorce last Thursday

Rumours are rife that Kelsey and Kayte are planning their own wedding this month. According to reports the pair will wed at New York Plaza Hotel on February 25. Kelsey has said before that the pair will marry this month.

'Kayte’s my new girl, and we’re planning to get married soon. Sometime in February,' he told David Letterman on his show last month. Kelsey's divorce from his wife of 13 years, Camille Grammer, was granted last Thursday morning - freeing him to marry Kayte.

Just hours after the divorce, Camille took the moral high ground, giving an apparent seal of approval to the couple's union. 'I wish Kelsey and Kayte love and happiness in their new marriage,' she gushed in her statement.

'What I most hope is that Kelsey and I can improve our communications and truly co-parent our two wonderful children,' she said diplomatically, not apportioning any blame.' Kayte and Kelsey began dating last year while he was still married but had moved to New York to star in Broadway production.

Kayte became pregnant with their child but miscarried in October 2010, four months into the pregnancy.

Ben Stiller treats his family to a night at the basketball... but his daughter isn't impressed

Ben Stiller was delighted to be court-side at a basketball game at Madison Square Garden last night , but it seems his daughter didn't share his enthusiasm for the sport. The comedian watched the New York Knicks play the Philadelphia 76ers with Ella, 8, son Quinlin, 5, and wife Christine Taylor. The family were all dressed casually in jeans and warm clothing as they sat in the enviable floor seats to watch the game.

Ben Stiller took his wife Christine Taylor, son Quinlin, 5, and daughter Ella, 8, to watch the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden

Stiller was seen waving at fans and being attentive to his daughter but she looked a bit glum and rested her elbow on her father's knee with a bored expression on her face. Ben's comedy chops didn't work to cheer up little Ella, who looked like she'd rather be home playing with her dolls.Young Quinlin on the other hand seems to be a chip off the old block and raised a big mischievous grin and was animated while watching the 76ers beat the Knicks 100-98.

Stiller's daughter Ella did not seem impressed with the court side seats and looked rather bored - even her dad's comedy chops couldn't raise a smile

But his dad, a New York native, would have been disappointed that his team lost. Stiller recently revealed that his vain but lovable character Derek Zoolander is set to make a comeback in a sequel to the hit 2001 movie. The 45-year-old told Empire magazine that the second instalment will be set 10 years from where the last movie left off and Owen Wilson will return as Hansel, Zoolander's runway rival.

Young Quinlin seems to be a chip off the old block and was animated while watching his dad's team lose by two points

He said the pair have to deal with the fact that their lives as male models are 'not really relevant any more' in the runway modelling world. Stiller said: 'It's basically Derek and Hansel ten years later and most of it's set in Europe - though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have changed... it's a new world for them'.He added: 'Will Ferrell is written into the script and he's expressed interest in doing it. I think Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way.'

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are set to star in the sequel to the 2001 movie Zoolander

Last spring Zoolander director and co-writer Justin Theroux went to Paris Fashion Week to research the latest trends - and no doubt to write some gags from what he saw there. The script for the film has already now been completed and is currently in the hands of studio executives.Stiller and Wilson have been frequent on-screen companions - having worked on Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers and more recently Little Fockers. They also starred in the two Night at the Museum films.

Ben recently made the Vanity Fair highest earning people in Hollywood list, coming in at number 30 with $18million in the bank. Avatar director James Cameron made the top of the list with $257million for his work with 3D blue people.

As the old adage goes, if you've got it - flaunt it. Something that Christine Martin didn't need telling twice as she lounged by a pool in Tenerife today. The fiancé of comedian Paddy McGuinness made sure her enviable figure was on full display for the cameras as she soaked up the sun on the island's Regency Country Club.

The former Miss Liverpool looked like she was enjoying the attention of the lenses as she stood in the pool. She certainly wasn't shy about her curves as she threw a number of poses as she dipped in and out of the water and lay on the side. She even made sure the lenses got the back view money shot as she climbed out of the pool.

Christine, 22, was making the most of the winter sun far away from the freezing temperatures of the UK.But McGuinness, 37, was nowhere to be seen, suggesting that she might have been taking a solitary break to top up her tan for the New Year celebrations. Christine, who has modelled for Loaded and OK! magazine, got engaged to the Max and Paddy star last Christmas.

Take Me Out to the beach: Paddy McGuinness can't keep his hands off his bikini-clad fiancee

Following the return of Take Me Out to TV screens this month, Paddy McGuinness is busy match-making singletons. But the comedian needs no help himself in the love department after whisking his fiancee Christine Martin away for a bit of winter sunshine. The Bolton funnyman, 37, took time out of the dating show to enjoy a romantic break in The Canaries with former Miss Liverpool Martin, 22.

While McGuinness dressed casually in a white shirt and cargo shorts, his model lover showed off her stunning figure in a bright blue bikini. As they strolled through the surf on a Tenerife beach, the loved-up couple kept stopping to kiss and cuddle. Although McGuinness has only just arrived after promoting Take Me Out on This Morning earlier this week, Martin appears to have spent the past few weeks relaxing in the Canaries.

McGuinness has praised his fiancee for having an amazing personality as well as looks

She was photographed topping up her tan in a pink bikini in Tenerife just days before the New Year. Paddy and Miss Martin became engaged at Christmas 2009 - over a year after they met at the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament, where she was modelling. But it looks like their wedding date may be even further away than originally planned. In an interview last October, McGuinness said they planned to wed this year, but revealed this month he wasn't so sure.

Although the couple have been engaged for over a year, they are yet to set a wedding date

He said: 'I kinda thought, "Right, we're engaged. Now we're all right for a bit." 'But then Christine's going, "Ooh, so when are we getting married?" and I'm like, "Hang on, we've only just got engaged".'

Speaking about Martin to the Mail On Sunday in October, he gushed: 'I lucked out there because she’s such a lovely person.

'What I love about Christine is that though she’s very attractive, she doesn’t flaunt it. In this job, I’ve met lots of girls who do, and it’s not an attractive trait.'

She may not have a significant other, but Jennifer Aniston was not short of good company over the Thanksgiving holiday.

The former Friends star, 41, and the 35-year-old chat show host sunbathed poolside at a resort in equally revealing bikinis.

Jennifer recycled a tiny purple string bikini she wore on holiday last year while the Chelsea chose a royal blue two-piece. Both women teamed their bathing suits with a hat to protect their skin and spend time lying in the shade.

The two became friends after Jennifer appeared on Chelsea's show earlier this year. The two women joked on the show about their rumoured wild ways. 'There's a story about us that we work out together at Crunch in West Hollywood and then we have vodka-fuelled fiestas,' Chelsea said.

'We were going to go out on the town, and you decided we were going to find men together!' retorted Jennifer. 'We were going to out together - and then you blew me off saying you were off on a set in Hawaii!' responded Chelsea.

Jennifer is holidaying during a break from filming her new movie Wanderlust.

The comedian was in high spirits on the trip

The film, also starring Paul Rudd and Malin Akerman, is about 'An urban couple branch out to live a more counter-culture lifestyle.' In New York she has been wrapped up warm against the wintry weather, but in Mexico it was time to strip down and enjoy the warm sunshine.

Jennifer has taken dozens of holidays in Mexico in recent years - including breaks with ex-lovers John Mayer and Gerard Butler. But usually she brings along a large group of close friends, and celebrated her 40th birthday there with pals Sheryl Crow, Courteney Cox and Kathy Najimy.

Reports recently surfaced that she was planned to buy a holiday home in the country with her close friend Courteney Cox.

'Jen is Courteney’s rock at the moment. And they’ve decided to buy a holiday home of their own – a bit like a girls-only retreat. 'They’ve already shortlisted a few properties,' a source told Britain's Grazia magazine.

'It needs to be a spacious, gated property with on-site security and close to the One & Only resort, where they usually stay, so that they can visit the spas, restaurants and bars.' Her holiday partner, Chelsea, has spent the past month dodging rumours that she is dating rap superstar Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent.

Paddy McGuinness shows off his gorgeous fiancée bikini body on holiday in Menorca

Walking hand in hand with his gorgeous young fiancée, it is no surprise comedian Paddy McGuinness looked a little smug. The good-looking pair turned heads as they strolled along the beach on the Spanish island of Menorca, where they holidayed last week. While 36-year-old Paddy is in very good shape, even his fit physique was left in the shade by 22-year-old Christine Martin's jaw-dropping bikini body.

The couple returned to the UK this week as McGuinness promotes his new book My Guide To The North and also his upcoming panto with Jonathan Wilkes. The duo appeared on This Morning today to chat about the project, named Pantos On Strike. The grown-ups only play - in Manchester in November - is about all the best-known Panto characters, who are out of work because of the recession.

Definitely not one for children, the play will feature lap-dancing dwarfs, The World's Most Offensive Song, and songs written by Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams. McGuinness appeared on Loose Women last month promoting his 'travel guide' to Northern England.

He says: 'It's a tongue in cheek look at how Northerners view Southerners and vice versa... I don't want anyone to get offended by it. It's a bit of fun, It's not to be taken too seriously.'

Paddy and Christine, who have a 15-year age gap, became

In addition, the host will begin filming the next season of dating show Take Me Out at the end of the month, ahead of its January season premiere. He has pleaded on Twitter for male contestants to enter the ITV series, as they currently are running short: 'I think they've been scared off,' the host quipped on Loose Women. While her fiancé is busy juggling multiple projects, gorgeous brunette Christine has been taking part in several magazine photo shoots.

Christine was not shy showing off her toned body in a tiny bikini. She has posed for a shoot in　 Loaded magazine which will be out later this month

She tweeted her excitement at an upcoming feature in men's magazine Loaded: 'I've had a sneaky peek at my pics for Loaded Magazine and they're not bad!

'Can't wait to see them in the mag, I think it's out towards the end of October!'

She has also posed for an OK! magazine shoot.
