Christine McGuinness opens up about her emotional journey after separating from Paddy McGuinness, revealing that she spent years isolated and only recently realised the extent of her loneliness.
Christine McGuinness has shared a moving realization following her separation from Paddy McGuinness, her husband of 11 years. The former Top Gear presenter and model Christine initially married in 2011. However, they announced their split in 2022. The couple still shares their family home to provide stability for their three children, twins Penelope and Leo, 11, and Felicity, eight, who have all been diagnosed with autism.
Christine herself was diagnosed with autism while working on the documentary Our Family and Autism in 2021. During her marriage, she says she spent years as a recluse. In her book A Beautiful Nightmare, she reveals she didn't have a hen party before their wedding because she 'didn't have any friends'. After the separation, she told The Times that she 'didn't know life without' Paddy, but now recognizes that her previous lifestyle might have caused her to miss out on new experiences. She shared with the newspaper: 'Those years that I missed out on friendships, I thought I was fine. I didn't realize how sad and lonely I was. It's only recently, as I've been doing more, I'm like, 'Wow, there's a whole life to live out there that I didn't know existed' because I very much stayed at home.' Christine has confessed that she finds the unknown 'really scary'. She also admits to finding it 'scary not knowing what life's going to bring,' a sentiment she believes is common among autistic women. Christine is participating in Celebrity Hunted, where celebrities spend 14 days evading security experts to raise funds for Stand Up to Cance
