Christine McGuinness has revealed her family suffered an "awful aftermath" following Christmas with her and husband Paddy McGuinness' children not "prepared for it to end."
The 31 year old had previously opened up about her six year old autistic twins Leo and Penelope's excitement for the festive season, with the family being able to buy their first Christmas tree since their birth.
But the former Real Housewives of Cheshire star has now opened up on the sad aftermath of the holiday.
Christine shared with her 313,000 Instagram followers: "Walking away from Christmas.. Last week I told how proud I was to have a Christmas tree up at home, I am still very proud that my children coped well over Christmas as they struggle so much with sensory overload, anxiety, they become easily overwhelmed.

"But, I wasn't ready for the aftermath following Christmas Day, it has been awful. I think I prepared them so much for Christmas Day, I didn't prepare them for it to end.
"I know many of you with Autistic children will understand, I'm still learning everyday and next year will be better again."
She continued: "So now, all evidence of Christmas has gone from our home, I find the best way to help my children is to get them involved and show them visually.
"We took the tree down together and explained: 'Christmas has finished'.. today seems calmer.
"I'm just hoping for the best, patiently waiting for normal routine to come back," the model finished.
Her admission comes after her husband Paddy hilariously revealed that he had lost a tooth during the festive period after eating "too many toffees."
Laying back in a plain white t-shirt and modelling a stylish pair of spectacles, Paddy addressed his 1.3million followers on Sunday: "Hello there, how's your Sunday going?"
He captioned the rib-tickling video: "Our toilet blocked up on Christmas Eve, kids still off school for another two weeks and now this! Why is it always when the dentist is closed."
Paddy added a number of hashtags to his video, including: #toothfairy, #tomanytoffeesoverchristmas and #boltonbeauty.
