Christine McGuinness admits she was a recluse for eight years and explains how her autism and ADHD led to an eating disorder as she reveals she can still only eat beige foods


The TV personality has candidly opened up once again about her experiences living with both autism and ADHD, admitting it caused her to be a recluse for eight years.

The model, 35, was diagnosed with autism when she was 33 years-old and revealed that the disorder means she has found it difficult to form friendships and left her unable to leave the house. Speaking to host Vogue Williams on the Boots podcast alongside Tommy Mallet, Christine discussed how she hopes to show her three children, who are also autistic, that you can still go to work and make friends despite being neurodivergent.
