Christine McGuinness has urged her children 'not to change' while sharing an endearing family update. The model was captured in a social media video preparing her kids' school bags and shoes for their imminent return to school.
Having only recently returned to the UK after an unexpectedly extended break with her family, Christine is back on mum duties. She shares her brood with her ex-husband Paddy. The 35-year-old was scheduled to return to her Cheshire home early last week following a spontaneous pre-school term vacation.
Christine had planned to savour one final trip with her children and her mother, Joanne, before the commencement of the school term. However, their sunny getaway took an unexpected twist when they found themselves unable to leave their holiday location. Although it appears to be linked to the travel chaos affecting thousands of holidaymakers - a situation triggered by a UK air traffic control failure that involved manual input of flight plans by controllers - Christine did not explicitly state what caused her prolonged stay abroad.

As an autism campaigner, she provided updates on how her children, all diagnosed with autism (a diagnosis that led to her own at age 33), were managing the sudden change of plans. In a heartwarming Instagram post earlier this week, Christine shared a radiant selfie from the airport, captioning it "Home time" for her 710,000 followers. She reflected on personal growth and life lessons, crediting them to stepping out of one's comfort zone. The post ended with an exciting teaser: "Here's to the next adventure. Very very soon!" accompanied by a zipped mouth emoji.
Christine returned to the social media platform later, sharing a video of her meticulously arranging Penelope, Leo, and Felicity's school bags, drink bottles, lunch trays, and shoes. "Summer 2023... absolutely smashed it," she began her caption, addressing her 710,000 followers. She continued, "Back to school time! Leo, Penelope, and Felicity, if the world could see you now, the whole world would be proud of you." She reminisced about their early school days when they had only a few words, felt uncomfortable in uniforms, and were overwhelmed by school life.

Never change or suppress yourselves, don't try to fit in, you are my little superstars, you inspire me every day," she added, ending her post with a heartfelt declaration, "Mummy is so proud #BackToSchool."
