Christine McGuinness was branded a 'fitty' by her former Real Housewives of Cheshire co-star as she seen frolicking on an inflatable flamingo as she enjoyed a special holiday. The model jetted off to sunnier climes with ex-Paddy McGuinness, their three children and her mum.
Over the weekend, Christine took to her Instagram Story as she shared how she was heading off on holiday, a couple of weeks after arriving back from a work trip for her new clothing brand, We Are H-E-R. Sharing a picture of a doll and teddy taking pride of place on a luggage trolley, the mum-of-three wrote: "This holiday is extra special," alongside a face holding back tears, plane and red heart emojis.
She then filmed herself on the plane as she praised the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, a discreet sign that the wearer has a hidden disability and may need additional support, as she sported a sunflower-branded lanyard.

Christine, who was diagnosed with autism at 33 following all three of her children getting the same diagnosis, wrote: "Thank you @sunflowerlanyardscheme. Until everyone understands," alongside a string of sunflower emojis. She later posted a video taken from the window of the plane, writing: "Very proud mummy," with red heart emojis.
Since then, Christine has been seen modelling her new swimwear collection during her trip, with many of the items selling out as quickly as they come back into stock. But the campaigner and documentary maker did have a laugh as she said she wouldn't be given her mum a job 'anytime soon'.
"Asked my mum to help me get some content wearing H-E-R," she typed. "We couldn't take each other seriously [cyring laughing emoji]. She's not getting a job behind the camera anytime soon! But we're having the best time," she added with a red heart emoji.
But the camera skills clearly improved as the former reality star took to her main Instagram grid. The images showed Christine appearing to be having fun as she perched on an inflatable flamingo ring. She looked stunning as she showed off her tan and gym-honed figure in a tiny pink bikini.
She left her blonde locks down and covered her eyes with a dark pair of shades as she captioned her post: "Lovely family holiday." She then went on to share her pride for her children - twins Leo and Penelope and youngest daughter Felicity - as they joined their mum on their first holiday in years.
"Loads of you have asked how the kiddies got on (it’s their first trip abroad in 4 years, they don’t really enjoy travel or change) but with lots of prep and patience they done incredibly well and have absolutely loved it!" she shared before adding: "Very very proud mummy."
And there was a mix of praise and compliments in the comments section as her followers rushed to respond. Former RHOC star Tanya Bardsley posted a string of heart and love heart eyes emojis before simply typing: "Fitty."
@eve_happy1 commented: "Amazing. Glad kids had great time. Making memories." @christinemfan quipped: "Flamin-go-rgeous!!!" @georgesinghukkf replied: "Absolutely fabulous Christine, so beautiful." @brooney1989 shared: "You look sensational and glad it went well."
