First day back at school is a nerve-racking time for parents and Christine McGuinness was applauded as she shared her feelings. The doting mum-of-three posted a snap of her nine-year-old twins Leo and Penelope and daughter Felicity, five, looking smart in their uniforms as they stood in the playground.

She typed in a heartfelt message to her children: "I hope you genuinely smile and laugh, with or without a reason. I hope you keep learning and keep growing as the wonderful children you are.
