Christine McGuinness has claimed that she only left her house "a handful of times" in eight years after marrying husband Paddy.
The model, 34, revealed that after she first moved to Bolton she didn't know anyone and because Paddy worked away from home so much, she felt incredibly lonely.
She explained that it was easier for her to stay at home as that was where she felt most comfortable and she became "scared" to go out".
