Christine McGuinness is trying to "keep going" after a "crazy year" following her split from Paddy McGuiness.
She appeared on ITV's Loose Women today, one of her first TV appearances since her split from husband Paddy McGuinness last July. The pair have twins Penelope and Leo, nine, and daughter Felicity, six, together.
Christine had previously admitted she was "pretending to be someone else" during her marriage to TV star Paddy, whilst she has also opened up about her autism diagnosis and how it affects her day to day life.
The pair are now living together to make things seem as 'normal' as possible for their kids.
Speaking on Loose Women, she said: "I'm trying to just keep going and enjoy life. I'm grateful for everything and just being here today. It's been a crazy year but I've had so many positives."
She was thrilled to be back with the Loose Women, insisting it was the most at home she ever felt on TV.
Meanwhile, Christine shared how she was "always pretending to be something else" in her marriage to Paddy.
She explained she was doing "OK" in a recent interview, as she added: "I’d always wanted to be a wife so once I met Patrick, I fully went into ‘perfect wife’ mode. You know, ‘I’ll stay in, I’ll cook and clean and make sure I’m the best wife I can be’. I was always pretending to be something else rather than simply just me. That’s all part of masking."
Christine also recently revealed she will be fronting a new documentary called Christine McGuiness: Unmasking my Autism, which is set to broadcast on March 15. Both Christine and her kids have been diagnosed with autism.
"Finally I can give you a date! My new documentary.. 'Christine McGuinness: unmasking my autism', 15th March on @ bbc @bbciplayer I’m excited, nervous and proud to present this incredible short film that I truly hope and believe will help thousands of autistics feel understood, recognised and valued," she said as she announced the new documentary.
Christine shared her diagnosis in her recent book, where she admitted it felt "strange".
"I have been confirmed as autistic. It’s strange, but I’ve noticed there are little hints throughout my life that I’m autistic and more like my children than I ever could have imagined," she said.
"My issues with food, my social struggles, how hard I find it to make friends and stay focused, and my indecisiveness. The way I float through life reminds me of how my eldest daughter Penelope is.
"It all makes sense now. And as much as I’m not totally surprised, it’s still been emotional for me to accept, but it’s a relief as well."
