Christine McGuinness says autism diagnosis 'changed her life' as she comments on rumours of Paddy McGuinness split

Christine McGuinness has appeared on Lorraine to speak about her autism diagnosis, her marriage to Paddy McGuinness and bringing up three autistic children. She spoke openly to Carol Vorderman, who is sitting in for Lorraine Kelly who has Covid, about the condition changing her life and addressed rumours about her marriage to comedian and presenter, Paddy McGuinness.

Speaking on Tuesday's (July 12) show about her marriage to Top Gear frontman Paddy, she said: "Marriages go through ups and downs. All marriages, especially with long ones like ours, it's not always going to be plain sailing. But, we're trying to deal with things as privately as possible and we both just want to be there to support the children. We're going away on a family holiday next week."

She admitted last weekend that she and Paddy were going through 'a very difficult time'. Christine also revealed she was recently diagnosed with autism and spoke about bringing up three autistic children. "I got my diagnosis just when I finished the book, that's changed my life. It's helped me understand myself a lot more, I feel like I'm really coming into my own," she added.
