Last October, it was then revealed that Paddy, 51, would keep the family's £2.5million mansion after finalising his divorce with ex Christine, 37.

Christine then revealed last month that she was paying off her £300,000 divorce from Paddy.

And now, after their costly split and subsequent divorce, Paddy is on the cusp of a money-spinning venture.

A source told The Sun: "It’s no secret that Paddy’s comedy tour, over the past year, has been a huge success.

"It was expected to do well but it was a long tour that went extremely well sales wise night after night... every venue was rocking.

"Most venues had waiting lists of people who wanted to come but couldn’t get in which is very rare in the industry at the moment."

They added: "Obviously the tour promoter did very well out of it so everyone their side is very keen for Paddy to replicate that again perhaps as soon as possible.

"There aren’t many comedy acts that can sell venues as fast as that so when a hit comes along the industry is keen to pounce on it and get more shows booked in.

"Importantly, Paddy also had a blast writing and performing the show although whatever tour comes in the future, as with the last one, it needs to work around his schedule with his kids which is why he drove straight home after a lot of the gigs.

"Everyone is hoping he’ll sign up again and rival tour promoters are banging down his door to try and get involved.

"He’s got a few offers on the table so hopefully a case of finding the time in his schedule to make it work around his home and work life."

Paddy and Christine share three children together from their marriage.

They welcomed twins Leo and Penelope, and daughter Felicity. 

Last year it was revealed that Paddy would remain the owner of the former couple's mansion.

Sources close to the couple told the  that the 7-bedroom family home in Cheshire, with a gym and swimming pool, is TV star Paddy's pride and joy.

He reportedly argued he'd be unable to afford anything similar, after divorcing his wife of 11 years.

It's claimed that Christine, however, didn't want to move ten-year-old twins Penelope and Leo, or seven-year-old daughter Felicity - all of who have been diagnosed with autism- from the house they've grown up in.

A source told the publication: "Paddy is very much the king of his castle when it comes to their house. There was no way he was going to move into a smaller property while she stayed in their big house.

"It means that they both still own the house and Paddy will have access to it at any time.

They continued: "Paddy also knew that Christine would not want to cause their children upset by putting the house up for sale as they need routine and familiar surroundings because of their autism.

"Christine does have the option to force the sale of the house but she wanted to put her children’s needs first."
