CHRISTINE McGuinness previously opened up about a “constant argument” she had with Paddy prior to their split.
Christine split from Take Me Out star Paddy in 2022, but the pair still live together with their three children, 10-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and seven-year-old daughter Felicity.
All three children have been diagnosed with autism, with Christine later finding out she was autistic too in her 30s.
In her book, A Beautiful Nightmare, Christine admitted the diagnoses caused problems within her marriage to Paddy as they fought over how to handle the kids.
She wrote: “It will be autistic people that cure cancer. I do hope Leo, Penelope and Felicity will be independent one day.
“I don’t know if they’ll have relationships but if they do and they’re happy that’s great.
“A constant argument between me and my husband is him thinking they’re not going to be able to do anything and I’m constantly saying they will.”
The book, published in 2021, came out a year before the pair called it quits.
The re-emerged quotes have emerged following Christine’s shortlived appearance on Celebrity MasterChef this week.
She joined Jake Quickenden, Jamie MacDonald, Emma Thynn and Tamer Hassan in the latest heat, but was eliminated.
Rather than be upset, Christine admitted she was “relieved” to be out as she found herself overwhelmed by the tasks at hand.
She admitted to eating a “beige diet” but had entered the contest to overcome her culinary fears.
Speaking on the show, she said: “I do have a lot of sensory issues around food, the smells, the textures, not just cooking, but tasting, it is something I avoid an awful lot.
“I know it’ll take a lot more energy for me to try and shut out the sensory issues of the smells, the noises, the textures of the food on my hands, and try not to get too overwhelmed by it all.”
