Christine McGuinness has shared her touching reason for signing up to take part in new ITV show The Games, as well as hinting at which sports she may do well in over the course of the next week
The Games originally started life on Channel 4 back in 2003, running for four series and seeing stars like Kirsty Gallacher, Phillip Olivier, Javine and Jade Jones emerge victorious, as Jamie Theakston and Jayne Middlemiss hosted. And now it's back as ITV pick up the baton and a new line-up of The Games contestants prepare to do battle across a host of different disciplines from sprinting to diving and weight lifting to cycling.
Having starred in The Real Full Monty just before Christmas, where she opened up about her autism diagnosis, former Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine, wife of comic and host Paddy, will battle it out against other female celebs like Emmerdale's Rebecca Sarker and Love Island's Olivia Attwood in live events in front of crowds of fans and millions of viewers at home.
