Christine McGuinness looks delighted as she starts charity walk for the National Autistic Society in Manchester

And mother-of-three Christine McGuiness looked delighted on Saturday as she embarked on a charity walk for the National Autistic Society in Manchester.

The 47-year old, who shares twins Penelope and Leo, eight, and daughter Felicity, five, with presenter husband Paddy, 45, proudly sported the charity's branded merchandise for the walk. 

Wearing the charity's white logo tee, Christine cut a sporty figure by teaming the top half with pale gym leggings and white Nike trainers.

The television personality ensured not a single lock of her long blonde tresses was out of place and applied a glam face of makeup.

She also carried a crimson shoulder bag for the spectrum night charity walk. 

All three of Christine and Paddy's children have the developmental disability, which affects how people communicate and interact with the world.

Christine took to Instagram on Sunday to share her pleasure at taking part in the poignant event. 

'Spectrum night walks are back ❤️ I loved walking with @nationalautisticsociety around Manchester raising awareness and much needed funds to help support those affected by autism ❤️', she penned. 

Christine foresaw Felicity's diagnosis years before it was given, as when she was six months old, she started tensing her body - known as 'stimming' when autistic children get excited.

She detailed the challenges of parenting autistic children in lockdown to The Mirror in April, but maintained a positive outlook: 'Because autistic children can be non verbal, I thank God every day that my children can speak - even when they argue with each other, at least they can speak.

'We waited four years to hear them say, "mummy". And when they did it was the best sound in the world,' she revealed.
