Christine McGuinness, model and wife of comic Paddy McGuinness, is no stranger to the spotlight. She began her career as a teenager, when she won beauty pageants and went on to be crowned Miss Commonwealth at just 19-years-old.
It was the now 34-year-old's profession that led her to meet husband Paddy, who she has been married to for 11 years. The pair met while Christine was doing a fashion show for Cricket at a Liverpool Tennis Tournament. The loved-up couple have three children together; eight-year-old twins Penelope and Leo and six-year-old Felicity.
But life hasn't always been glamourous for the model - Christine, who has appeared in The Real Housewives of Cheshire, started her life in the Lancashire seaside resort of Blackpool before moving to Halewood where she spent years on a council estate.

She also developed anorexia at the age of eight, spending secondary school without eating a proper meal. Christine was also sexually assaulted as a teenager.
More recently, Christine discovered she was autistic - as are all three of her children. Christine appeared in the BBC documentary Our Family and Autism, which followed her and Paddy over many months as they learn more about the condition. The couple also met other parents, experts, and people on the autism spectrum, including footballer Paul Scholes, who has a 16-year-old non-verbal autistic son.
The model told the Manchester Evening News in November that her diagnosis came as 'such a huge relief.' She said: "When I got the diagnosis, I can honestly say it was such a huge relief. Just to know there was a reason why I felt this way and why I struggled with certain things.
