"This is the most comfortable place for me on the telly but I'm so nervous." Christine was assured by the panelists she was amongst friends and was on the show to promote her new children's book named Amazing Me, Amazing You.
The book hit shelves today and Christine said she feels honoured to see it released. She said: "I'm blessed in so many ways. It's been a crazy year but I've had so many positives and to be back here is amazing."
Christine is the proud mum of autistic children Felicity, Leo and Penelope. She was also diagnosed with the condition as an adult and hopes the book will give a voice to autistic people and show that "everyone is different and that's just absolutely fine."
The mum of three also wants to raise awareness on the difficulties autistic people face. She said: "I wanted to do something that would help other children understand children like mine." She added: "It's a real child friendly way for children to learn about autistic children."
