Christine McGuinness shared the touching moment she saw her father Johnny walk unaided for the first time since battling his heroin addiction.

Speaking to Spencer Matthews on his Big Fish podcast, Christine said: 'The first time I've seen my dad clean properly was this year, and he stood up and walked towards me for a hug. In February, Christine first shared the happy news about her father when she posted a heartfelt video revealing Johnny had overcome his heroin addiction after years of struggling.
