Today Felicity headed off to school to help her get familiar with the surroundings and teachers as she transitions from nursery.

Christine shared a photo of herself leading her children through the door, dressed in their school uniform.

Former Miss Liverpool Christine admitted she was emotional as she wrote a lengthy caption alongside the snaps, she said: " I’m ok (crying emoji) that’s just my littlest baby going for a taster day at school before she starts in September.

"I t’s so important for her to try and get familiar with her school, her teacher and other children before she goes full time, this will help to make her transition from nursery much smoother.

"As many of you may know, all three of my children are autistic and change can be something they struggle with but preparation is key to making these things easier.

"Today we had big smiles all around, I am proud beyond my expectations.

"Just a couple of years ago we never knew if we would even find a school suitable for our children, and here they are absolutely thriving and supporting each other."

Christine's followers were quick to offer her support and said what a great job she was doing as a mum.
