Paddy McGuinness' wife shares emotional letter about their twins
She confirmed they have autism
Paddy McGuinness' wife Christine has penned an emotional letter to her social media account, where she revealed her four-year-old twins have autism.
Sharing the post to her Instagram account on Leo and Penelope's fourth birthday, Christine encouraged her children to 'embrace' their autism and hailed them both 'unique and fantastically awesome'.
The letter read, 'Today you both turn four, and I celebrate so much more. In the last 12 months you have learnt to talk, and you are using flat feet to walk. You are conquering your daily challenges, and I’m here to hold your hand, when your dealing with sensory overload, the quietest room sounds like a big brass band.'
She continued, 'You excel in mathematics and amateur dramatics and you amaze me every day, because you are beautiful inside and out in an extra special way. The meltdowns, the routines and all the planning ahead. The groundhog days, the beige food and the temperamental 'time for bed'.
She then ended the emotional letter with, 'I love you unconditionally and will encourage you both to embrace your autism. Because you are totally unique and fantastically awesome. All my love always, mummy.'
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability which affects how a person experiences the world around them, leading to difficulty in communicating with people and forming relationships with others.

Paddy and Christine welcomed twins Leo and Penelope in July 2013 and recently welcomed their latest addition, Felicity Rose, back in September 2016.
Taking to Twitter to reveal the news, the Take Me Out presenter wrote, 'Welcome Felicity! The boys are officially out numbered in our house. Let the maternity see the leave!'
Paddy and Christine first met back in 2007 and later tied the knot in 2011.
