Paddy McGuinness get emotional about children’s autism in new doc

OHMYGOSSIP — Paddy McGuinness gets emotional in his family’s new documentary about his and wife Christine McGuinness’ three autistic children.
The ‘Top Gear’ host tells all about “what gets to him” in the new BBC One film, ‘Paddy and Christine McGuinness: Our Family and Autism’, in which he contemplates if his three kids – eight-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and five-year-old Felicity – will ever comprehend the depth of his love for them.
While holding back tears, the 48-year-old funnyman says: “What gets to me with them all, and it’s only how I think, I think, ‘Will they ever know how loved they are? Do they understand what love is?’
“When I’m with Leo every night in bed I will say to him, ‘Who loves you more than anything in the world?’. He’ll say, ‘You do’. Then I’ll go, ‘Do you love Daddy?’ and he’ll go, ‘Yeah’. But I think to myself, ‘Is he just saying that, or does he know that?’ ”
The one-off programme – which airs tonight (01.12.21) – will explore the challenges involved with raising kids with the condition.
Last month, Christine went public with her own autism diagnosis.
In the programme, the 33-year-old model touches upon how “exhausting” she finds living with the disability, but she insists people with autism are “not a hindrance”.
The former ‘Real Housewives of Cheshire’ star says: “It’s just exhausting. I feel like I’m a pain. I don’t mean to be but I feel like a hindrance and I don’t want my children to ever feel like that.
“Being a parent of kids with autism is challenging and difficult at times but they are not a hindrance. These children are wanted and loved.”
In the show, Christine also opens up about feeling as if she has “faked a lifetime”.
She tells expert Sir Simon Baron-Cohen: “I feel like I faked a lifetime. Everything I do and everywhere I go, I tend to mirror people.”
