Christine McGuinness has been supported by her followers as she told them she'll be 'back soon'. The model said she was unsure about making the 'announcement' as she shared how she was going to enjoy a digital detox.
She took to Instagram on Monday morning (May 22) with a string of candid snaps of her getting ready. Christine, 35, was beaming in the different snaps, with some showing her posing in the mirror in an ab-baring white top while others showed her putting on her make-up.
But one thing that featured heavily was her phone and Christine has made a decision to change that. Posting to her hundreds of thousands of followers, the mum-of-three typed: "Time for a little digital detox. In a world of algorithms, hashtags and followers, I really want to embrace the true importance of human connection and go back to basics for a bit."

She then added before the comments came flooding in: "P.S.. Im not really sure what I think about the whole ‘social media silence’ announcement thing but I have lots of lovely followers on here who check in on me daily and I don’t want to worry anyone whilst I have a little quiet time."
Christine, who recently got back from a special family holiday with her ex-husband Paddy and their three children, added: "I am very happy and healthy, I’m just ready to embrace switching off, being present and living low key for a while."
Carol Vorderman was among the first to respond to the post, simply sharing a couple of red heart emojis in the comments section. And fans were quick to support and praise Christine for taking time for herself.

Look after yourself.

Christine also shared the post to her Instagram Story and added: "I'll be back soon," with a white heart emoji. It comes after she made the most of the warm weather of the weekend in her garden as she donned a plunging white top.
She exclaimed, "Oh wow, what a gorgeous day, that's stunning! ... listen to the birds!" as she walked through her sprawling back yard in Cheshire where she still lives with ex-husband Paddy. The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star later posted a mirror selfie onto her stories where she gave her fans a peek at her full outfit which included slimming black trousers.
She also shared a look at her hair transformation. Christine could be seen having extensions added to her shoulder-length blonde locks before having them cut and styled into bouncy curls.
