Christine McGuinness has only watched one movie in her life for eye-opening reason

Christine McGuinness has admitted that she's only ever watched one movie throughout the duration of her entire life.

The 33-year-old TV star revealed that she was never able to fully concentrate on a flick and she never understood why.

That was until she was diagnosed with autism last year.

The couple have just released a brand-new podcast, Table Talk, - which is in partnership with McCain and charity, Family Fundwhere - and their aim is to raise better awareness for families raising a disabled or seriously ill child.

Following the success of their recent documentary, which saw the couple lift the lid on their personal experiences as a family with three autistic children, Paddy and Christine meet six families across the UK with disabled children, to learn more about the realities of family life, the worries and wonders they face.

During the first episode of the eye-opening podcast, Christine admitted that she has only ever watched one movie - Dirty Dancing.

The blonde beauty explained that throughout her childhood, she was never able to concentrate on one whole movie, and instead, would watch Dirty Dancing 'hundreds of times' throughout the same year.

Christine knew every single line in the movie off by heart, and when her loved ones suggested that she try and watch a different movie, she found herself feeling uncomfortable just at the thought of it.

"I used to do it as a teenager. I used to watch one film over and over again. I've only ever watched one film in my life," Christine told.

"It's because I can't stay focused. But, it was Dirty Dancing. I knew it word for word."

Christine went on to explain how a kind gesture from Paddy ruined her love for the famous flick.

In a bid to treat his girlfriend to a spectacular show, Paddy brought Christine to see the live West End version of the movie for her 21st birthday.

Sadly, it didn't go down too well with the blonde beauty as she claimed her now husband 'ruined' the movie for her forever.

"For my 21st birthday, Patrick took me to see it in London. It wasn't the same, it wasn't the film. It was too different and I've never watched it since," she laughed.
