TV show over stigma of autism

- ED GLEAVE

CHRISTINE and Paddy McGuinness have vowed to beat the stigma around autism.

The couple’s twins Leo and Penelope, seven, and four-year-old daughter Felicity all have the condition.

And they are determined to use their fame to make a difference.

Christine, 33, said: “There is a stigma surrounding autism and we want to reduce that.

“We want to raise awareness about it. It’s so important to do that.

“We didn’t know much about autism until our children were diagnosed. We’ve had to educate ourselves, and now we want to pass that on.”
