Christine McGuinness admits she was unhappy for 'too long' before Paddy split

Christine McGuinness has opened up about her marriage split from Paddy admitting she was "unhappy" and "stayed with him for too long" as her autism made it difficult for her to walk away. A new BBC documentary brought the separation of the stars to the forefront.

Christine explained on camera why she needs a new chapter in life and how petrified she initially felt as she parted ways from the Top Gear host. The Mirror reports how the mum-of-three broke into tears as she heartbreakingly tells about being raped when she was younger and says it caused suicidal thoughts.

Reflecting on what she discovered in her documentary about autism, the 34-year-old model said: “I felt like I said in the film I didn’t want my family to ever fall apart. And that’s why I stayed married.
