Christine McGuinness shares topless snap and insists she needs a holiday as model and her twins Penelope and Leo are struck down by mystery bug

Christine McGuinness was pining for a holiday as she shared a raunchy topless photo after she and her nine-year-old twins were stricken with a contagious stomach virus.

The 35-year-old model, who has three children with ex-husband Paddy McGuinness, says she needs a mini-break ASAP after her time at ‘McSick House’.

In a video on her Instagram stories, the pale-faced Christine lay back on the cushions of her couch, telling fans she wanted to get some energy back.

She lamented: ‘I think I spoke too soon when I said I was wrecking the summer holidays.

We are in the third week. The twins got a stomach bug and I caught it. It’s one of those things that no one really brings up when you have kids.

“They seem to catch every bug in sight and then one catches them too, so I feel really, really pale and it hasn’t been the best and I can’t ask anyone for help because it’s obviously contagious.”

Speaking of her youngest daughter, seven-year-old Felicity, she added: “Felicity seems to have had her way for now.

“It’s just been me and the twins and Felicity is fine, fingers crossed.”

Christina admitted she was trying to stay positive about the situation, noting, “I can see my abs and it’s been a while. You know every cloud.

‘Oh my gosh, I just want to get some energy back. And to have a nice quiet day, I just ordered some crafts from Amazon, so we’ll do that in a bit and hopefully that’s all for now.

We’re not even halfway through summer vacation.

The Loose Women panelist also revealed that her upcoming mini-break is ninety percent booked and that she was “so happy” and needed “some heat.”

It comes after Christine showed off her incredible figure this month while breaking a sweat during a weekend yoga session.

The TV personality took to Instagram in a black crop top and skinny pink leggings while promoting the luxury clothing brand HER’s SenSkin range.

And Christine turned out to be quite the announcement as she is sure to turn heads with her impressive moves and stunning physique.

The mother of three struck a series of different poses as she stretched back and forth on her yoga mat.

Christine certainly looked in her element when she stepped into the zone during the energy session.

Captioning her post, Christine wrote, “Not your Barbie girl,” despite embracing the Barbiecore trend with her pink leggings and matching doily.

It comes after Christine has opened up about her ADHD and autism diagnosis that “changed her life” and reveals that she now “understands” herself.

The reality star was diagnosed with autism two years ago. Her three children, twins Penelope and Leo, nine, and Felicity, seven, are also autistic.

Family: The model shares twins Penelope and Leo, 9, and Felicity, 7, with her comedian husband, Paddy.

Appearing on The Doctor Will Hear You Now podcast with host Dr. Zoe Williams, Christine opened up about her health and urged others struggling to get a diagnosis.

Speaking about ADHD and autism being dually diagnosed, Christine said: “It’s quite common to get a dual diagnosis when you’re autistic, you could be autistic and ADHD, or autistic and dyspraxic, or dyslexic, it’s quite common to have that double barrel.

“For me, I didn’t understand how I could have ADHD, because again, you Google or you see people, and you have this picture of what you think ADHD is going to be like, and I didn’t fit into that group.” .

She continued: ‘I’m an inattentive ADHD, which is different than the typical hyperactive person with ADHD who can see and recognize more often.

So for me, when I’m not attentive, I can be quite aloof, I live in my own little bubble.

Wow! The TV personality took to Instagram in a black crop top and skinny pink leggings while promoting the luxury clothing brand HER’s SenSkin range.

It goes quite naturally with my autism, it overlaps and it’s quite similar, but then I have moments where I’m extremely hyperactive in my thinking, in my creative side, in my feelings, in my emotions.

I will be extremely hyperemotional if I am sad: it may be the end of the world, to the point where I think, I can’t cope, I can’t do this anymore, even having suicidal thoughts.

‘He can go so far, and that’s where the hyper side is for me.

“On the bright side, if I’m happy, it’s the best thing in the world, and nothing can ruin your day, and it can be over the smallest thing.”
