She told Lorraine Kelly: "We want to keep things things the same as much as possible for the children. I don't want anything to affect them.

"We are a family and we'll always be family no matter what and we're living in a nice happy home." She added: "I fully understand that slow changes are much more suited to me and the children."

Christine appeared on Lorraine to raise awareness over some of the "red flags" people may be living with autism. The 33-year-old shared concerning statistic that women are more likely to be living with autism without a diagnosis.
