Christine McGuinnes shelves her birthday plans and celebrates in isolation with husband Paddy

Reality TV star Christine McGuinness revealed that she had to shelve her birthday celebrations because of the coronavirus outbreak.

The Real Housewives of Cheshire regular says her plans are on hold for now, but she was refusing to let social distancing get her down as she celebrated turning 32 with her husband and father of her three children Paddy.

The loved-up couple larked around outdoors busting some dance moves, and shared the fun on social media.

Wearing a white crop top and matching bottoms, Christine performed a dance routine alongside the Top Gear presenter.

Paddy, 46, was also dressed casually in trackies and a baseball cap as the couple showed off their hidden talent.

"Sorry kids embarrassing mum and dad moment," she wrote on Instagram.

"Isolation is making me spend far too much time with Mr Mc."

She added jokingly: "Move over Biebers!"

Christine also posted a montage of herself over the years to mark her birthday while speaking of her 'love of life.'

She explained: "Its my birthday!!! and whilst my birthday plans are all on hold for now I am appreciating my love of life.

"Learning to let go, having fun, laughing at myself and saying yes to opportunities has been a life changer, I am very grateful for this past year.

"So once everything settles down, I am re-planning my B-Day, because I’ve never really celebrated it before and now I really want to!. (Which means I’m 26 for a little bit longer!) #YOLO #LIVE #LAUGH #LOVE #BirthdayVibes #Picses."

The couple, who tied the knot in 2011, are parents to six-year-old twins Leo and Penelope and three-year-old Felicity who all have autism.

Earlier this month she opened up about the reality of raising three autistic children, breaking down in tears as she told fans she was having a "b****y hard day."

"Hello I don't want to bring anyone's mood down, but I just want to show the reality of being a mum of autistic children," she explained.

"Sometimes it's not fun, today was just a really bad morning, I know it will be fine later but this is what you don't see.

"I am fine and I'm upset for my children, this was just a bad morning, and I'll have a good day, it's just sometimes it's not always fun.

"I don't want to bring anyone down, I just think it's important to show it's not always fine and lovely and they're all doing great and they are, they're all doing brilliant, but it's hard, it's bloody hard."

Christine recently announced that Felicity had been diagnosed with the developmental disorder.

Speaking about the diagnosis on Loose Women last month, Christine said it was a 'relief' to finally have confirmation and explained why it had been easier to take the second time round.
