Christine McGuinness has shared her inspiring reason for competing on The Games.
The former Miss Liverpool is participating on ITV's new programme, which premieres tonight. The competition will see famous faces trained by some of the UK's top coaches before taking on a host of different challenges.
The Games will be hosted by Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff - and Christine will be joined in the contest by Emmerdale star Rebecca Sarker and former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas. Christine shares three autistic children - Felicity, Leo and Penelope - with comedian Paddy McGuinness.
