Christine McGuinness has spoken out about the 'biggest support' in her life following her split from her husband Paddy McGuinness. The model and autism campaigner is currently preparing for the release of 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, who is the proud mum of twins Penelope and Leo, nine, and youngest daughter Felicity, six, who she shares with Paddy and who all have autism, 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.
Her new film, Christine McGuinness: Unmasking My Autism, which airs on Wednesday (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. The programme also followed Christine's diagnosis.
