Paddy and Christine McGuiness lack of privacy!

[Monkeybutt1]

Just read that Paddy and Christine have split, in their announcement they have said and I quote

"'We hadn't planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but after the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify."

Am I the only person thinking WTF you share everything on social media, I dont follow them but just by reading celebrity news (I know I know) I know they were meant to be abroad on holiday, their daughters passport had ran out, they are in Center Parcs, he cheated on her etc
If you want privacy stop sharing everything!

Bloody hell, it's well documented how much she's got on her hands, she's got a really difficult life and a marriage breakdown is sad news. It's really unkind to start a thread basically slagging them off when they're having a shit time.

They’re a pair of absolute arseholes. I’m not sure which is more dim, but there’s not much in it.
They deserve each other!

I've just read this quote from his autobiography. Paints a depressing image of their marriage.

Paddy wrote: 'We don't like the same films, TV programmes or food, we wouldn't have a night out together, and we annoy each other most of the time.
'I hardly know any of her mates, and aside from living in the same house we have totally separate lives
'So why are we still married after a decade? Answer: we laugh and make love… a lot.'

About? Why do you think their on a make or break holiday in centrparks the day they admit they aren’t together. Both of them have cheated.

I know little about either, but an age gap marriage where they don't like each other's TV choices and have little in common except a good sex life, sounds very sad to me.

I feel like Paddy's attitude towards autism was very old fashioned. I also speculated that they would break up once it looked like his wife genetically passed autism onto her children.

Don't be surprised if you see him remarried and starting a new family very soon.

He’s sleazy
Where do you get that idea? Surely not from them meeting when he judged a 'bikini competition' (no, me neither), when she was a teenager and he was in his thirties?

yes you can see too much of someone and I’m sick to death of those two

Must be so stressful to raise autistic children with all that money ... 🙄

It was obvious from all her thirsty photos that she was not getting attention at home so not much of a surprise. It's quite sad how much she changed but i bet it cheated loads

I don’t know who he is, I recognise her as taking her clothes off and being married to him and having ASD kids. What does he do?

Of course money will help them in day-to-day life like not having to worry about rising living costs, having a nice car, being able to afford private health care etc but you can't buy your way out of all three of your children and yourself having complex needs due to Autism. Life must still be very difficult and stressful for them regardless.

He's a TV presenter. Take Me Out (dating show), Top Gear...

How do you all know he cheated?

the documentary was odd, I thought it was very vague about Autism and didn’t actually tell me anything about Autism.

I like him as a TV presenter, I’m not actually sure what she does for a living.

I don’t understand why they can’t get some extra home help so they can have abit of a life

'Men struggle with lots of things'

Like not being total cunts.

She completely overshares , only last week she said the problems in her marriage weren't down to her and she won't put up with things that she used to. That to me sounds like he cheated again.
I remember watching her talk about when he was photographed with Nicole Appleton. She said that he phoned to say sorry and came home the next day and it was never spoken of again.
How sad!

There's such a range of strengths and needs with each individual diagnosis of autism. I think possibly with someone like Harvey Price level of need it's going to be clear visually that he needs support for some aspects of life and can't choose who to share with. I don't know anything about their children but if there is any choice involved in sharing later in life I just feel very uncomfortable that it's been taken away from them. Having a diagnosis and being expected to support yourself financially and through working /studying is really hard - I definitely haven't shared mine with everyone.

I’ve got an autistic child and hated the documentary. I thought Christine came across as an absolute nob. The main problem faced by SN parents is lack of support, fighting for provision etc. So when herself swanned into Simon Baron Cohen’s office and said “ooh I’ve always felt a bit different Simon” and eventually he said “I think you might be autistic Christine” I may have thrown something at the TV. And suddenly she’s an autistic advocate? GTFO. What she lacks in brains and insight, she makes up for by shilling literally fucking any old shite on IG.

Agree with the PP - she hides her kids’ faces in pics, but everyone they ever meet is going to know they’re autistic so they have no privacy over that diagnosis. C is monetizing them and I think it’s vile - somehow worse because they are ND…

Never heard of Take Me Out, don’t watch Top Gear. I thought he maybe was a rugby player or something.

@JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue shows how little you know about autism if you think having money means living with it isn’t stressful!

This is quite a nasty comment. Money can’t cure ASD so it’s just as difficult for them as millionaires as it is for someone in a council house with many autistic dc

it’s just as difficult for them as millionaires as it is for someone in a council house with many autistic dc

it really isn’t. They can pay privately for diagnosis and therapy, use private schools with smaller classes, pay for childcare help/respite to get a break, pay for every kind of gadget and tool to help with sensory needs. It’s wildly different.

what was surprising to me from
the docu was the number of times they moved house with those poor kids.

It absolutely isn’t!
Money gives you access to SALT, alternative provisions, therapeutic activities.
The things that people without money have to fight for help with. Or don’t get at all.

Well I have 6 with ASD and I live in a council house on UC I wouldn’t assume that any parent rich or poor with children with ASD we’re any better or worse off than me or more or less stressed as you just don’t know anyone else’s true circumstances or feelings or their threshold for stress

This isn’t true.

money buys choices and help so it’s completely different a millionaire having an autistic child over someone on a council estate.
