Christine McGuinness has admitted that she's only ever watched one film in her entire life.
The 33-year-old TV star and model says she was never able to fully concentrate on a movie, but now understands why after being diagnosed with autism.
Christine, who is married to Top Gear presenter Paddy McGuinness, found out she had autism last year and her diagnosis with the developmental disability featured in their documentary Our Family and Autism.

Their twins Leo and Penelope, eight, and five-year-old daughter Felicity are all autistic.
As a teen Christine says she was only ever able concentrate on one whole movie and that was the 1987 classic Dirty Dancing starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.
And former The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine has said in their new podcast Table Talk that she knew every single line from the coming-of-age story off by heart.
Christine admitted to Paddy: "You don't know this. I can listen to a song a hundred times over and over and over again. And I used to do it as a teenager, I used to watch one film.
"I used to watch one film over and over again. I've only ever watched one film in my life," Christine told the podcast.
"It's because I can't stay focused. But it was Dirty Dancing. I knew it word for word."
The podcast Table Talk with Paddy and Christine, in partnership with McCain and charity Family Fund, is to raise better awareness for families raising a disabled or seriously ill child.
Paddy and Christine meet six families across the UK with disabled children to learn more about the realities of their family life.
According to the NHS people living with autism may find it hard to communicate and interact with others, find things like bright lights or loud noises overwhelming, stressful or uncomfortable, get anxious or upset about unfamiliar situations and social events, take longer to understand information and do or think the same things over and over.
Christine joked that her hubby has 'ruined' her love of the film by taking her to see Dirty Dancing on stage at the West End for her 21st birthday.
"For my 21st birthday Patrick took me to see it for my birthday in London and it wasn't the same.
"It wasn't the film. It was different and I've never watched it since," she said.
And she jokingly told him: "You've ruined it."
Christine recalled: "On our first holiday together I asked you to do 'the lift' with me.
"I've tried to live my life though film and now music.
"Music is definitely my therapy and I feel fully involved with the words and I'm there in the moment."
