Christine McGuinness shares 'biggest support' in her life after Paddy split as she jokes about her 'audacity'

Christine McGuinness has spoken out about the 'biggest support' in her life following her split from her husband Paddy McGuinness. The model and autism campaigner is currently preparing for the release of her first solo documentary which will see her reveal how autism in women and girls has been ignored and misunderstood by science and society, leaving thousands of women undiagnosed.
