Christine McGuinness says it's 'D day' as she shares hope for first solo project and discusses dating fears

Christine McGuinness told her loyal followers that it's 'D day' as she shared her hopes ahead of them seeing her first big project since splitting from her husband Paddy McGuinness. The model and autism campaigner has filmed her first solo documentary which will see her reveal how autism in women and girls has been ignored and misunderstood by science and society, leaving thousands of women undiagnosed.

Christine revealed she had also been diagnosed with the developmental disability caused by differences in the brain that affects how people communicate and interact with the world towards the end of 2021, after all three of her children - twins Penelope and Leo, nine, and youngest daughter, six-year-old Felicity - were given the same diagnosis.

The doting mum's new film, Christine McGuinness: Unmasking My Autism, which airs on Wednesday night (March 15), follows the BBC One documentary Paddy and Christine McGuinness: Our Family and Autism, screened in November 2021, in which they met other parents, experts and people on the autism spectrum.
