Another post a few hours later said: "I hate being unwell. I simply haven't got the time to be unwell."
On Sunday, a made up Christine posted two videos to her story to share the bright pink dress with her followers.
In the first video, Christine can be seen standing in her bedroom in the mid-length body con dress that sported a ruffled shoulder.
She explained that she was defying doctor's order to stay in bed by wearing the dress out to a fashion show in Manchester.
Looking incredible, Christine said: "So yesterday I missed Aintree for the first time in years, I was so gutted but I just wasn't well enough.
"So today I've put my Aintree dress on and i'm going to a fashion show in Manchester because why the hell not."
In a second clip, she said: "I'm so happy that I'm going out after yesterday.
"The doctor said 'you have to stay in bed'. Hun, I don't have to stay in bed, I'm going out."

She said she was "gutted to be missing it" in a reply to Radio presenter Pete Price.
