Christine McGuinness has thanked her fans for their support after she made what she described as a 's**t realisation'. Taking to Instagram over the weekend, the model and documentary maker filmed some of her journey on the train to London where she is spending some time for work this week.
It came after Christine told fans she is 'struggling' as she gave an insight into how she is impacted by autism. The model has been flooded with praise in recent weeks following the release of her first solo documentary.

Ahead of leaving her Cheshire home, which she still shares with her ex-husband Paddy, Christine gave further insight into how her autism affects her daily life. Sat in her car, the mum-of-three said to the camera: "This is my worst nightmare. I've been sat in my car for an hour..." she said as she took a deep breath. "I need to go shopping," she then explained while sat outside a shopping centre.

"I'm working next week, I've got a really busy week. I think I've got about 20 different jobs in a couple of days. I'm in London next week and I need some clothes but I just... I should have done the online but I've left it to late. I absolutely hate it. I don't understand girls who like shopping. It's busy, there's stuff everywhere and I can't make a decision.
"I'm fine in an arena. If I was in an arena with 10,000 people and there's music on, I love it. I'm absolutely fine there. But I don't like busy shops and I don't like restaurants... busy places."
Christine later returned back to her car with an update which she captioned: "3hrs later." She said: "That was just an awful experience. It was so much worse than what I imagined. It wasn't actually too busy but I just couldn't pick anything and I got really... I'm very stuck in my own head at the minute and I'm struggling."
She went on to say she had got "nothing" she needed by didn't leave empty handed as she purchased a sparkling rainbow ring and a pair of new designer sunglasses. "Absolutely useless items to what I actually need because I can't just go on telly in a pair of sunglasses and a ring," she said. "I just need a holiday now," she laughed as she tried her new shades on for size.
And during her journey to London, it appears Christine almost took the plunge and booked a getaway but her stopped herself in her tracks. "Just almost booked a flight while sitting on a train then realised I can't just keep flying away when things get too much in my head," the mum-of-three typed alongside a video of her sitting in her seat on the travelling train.
"That's a s**t realisation but good growth," she then added. Christine also shared how she got upset on the train as it stopped in a tunnel for what felt like 'ages'. "I'm so happy I'm off it [the train]. Honestly, this month... apparently it's the moon or something messing with my head and then that clock change threw my whole day. My chakras are shaken, honestly," she added with a giggle.
But as she made it safe and sound to her hotel room, Christine shared a moody room selfie as she could barely be seen as she posed in the mirror of the dimly lit room. "Thank you all for explaining that 'escapism' is nothing to feel bad about," the 35-year-old typed alongside the snap.
"It's a beautiful coping mechanism really. And surely that is better than feeling stuck or lost." She then added: "I appreciate you," with a heart."
