"I've been separated from my ex husband for three years. We get on really well.
"We still live at home together, but of course, I want some adult company. I can't just sit and be with children all day, every day.
"I like that time out - being away from home when I'm working - but I haven't got that time out being away from home not working and just enjoying some adult company.
"I haven't had that, so I got the opportunity and thought, You know what? Why not? I understand myself, so I'll be fine.
"I'll manage it and it was just a step too far."
The Real Housewives of Cheshire alum continued: "I found it quite overwhelming, so I listened to myself and I'm really, really proud that I recognised how I felt...
"I went home to my children after two weeks. I was supposed to do 10 weeks of filming - and I'd done two weeks - and I'm really, really proud of myself that I did what was right for me."
She added: "If something doesn't feel right for you, physically, mentally, emotionally, it's okay to leave.
"That's something I tell my children quite a lot, because being autistic, you can stay and do what other people want you to do.
"I think it's really, really important to know that you can leave the party, you can leave the job, leave the event, you can leave the relationship at any time."
Christine McGuinness had 'fun' fling with top soap actress after pair met at awards ceremony following split from Paddy
Paddy and Christine announced they had separated in 2022 after 15 years together.
The pair still live together for the sake of their children, despite the split.
Christine spoke out about her sexuality for the first time recently, revealing she has dated both sexes since she was a teen.
The Sun revealed her fling with a leading soap actress earlier this month.
Their encounter came in 2023, the year after Christine split from her ex-Top Gear host husband, Paddy McGuinness, 51.
The well-known actress, whom we are not naming, has previously been in relationships with men.
Months after their marriage ended, Christine was pictured kissing singer Chelcee Grimes, 33.
It has been revealed how Christine got "incredibly close" to footballer Chelcee before splitting from husband Paddy, 51.
Yet the songwriter's recent fallout with pal Christine recently came to light, with the real reason for the pair's toxic spat revealed.
The former couple have since disconnected on social media.
Paddy and Christine first met through a mutual friend in 2007, when she was 19 and he was 33.
In 2020, she was diagnosed with autism and ADHD after spending the majority of her life confused as to why she acted differently from everyone else growing up.
Since then, the TV star has been raising awareness for it through interviews, television shows and public speaking.

David Beckham is left with a huge BALD patch after DIY haircut blunder – and wife Victoria admits ‘it looks terrible'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DAVID Beckham was left with a huge BALD patch after suffering a DIY haircut blunder - with Victoria even admitting 'it looks terrible'. The former England captain, 50, had been attempting to recreate his iconic buzz cut at home when the head of his clippers fell off mid-shave, leaving a glaring bald spot on top of his head. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 David Beckham was left with a huge BALD patch after suffering a DIY haircut blunder Credit: Instagram 5 The head of his clippers fell off mid-shave, leaving a glaring bald spot on top of his head Credit: Instagram David had already trimmed most of his hair down to stubble, meaning there was little he could do to hide the exposed patch of skin. His wife Victoria shared a video of the aftermath on Instagram, reacting blunty while showing the uneven crop. She told him: 'It does not look good. I'm going to always be honest with you. It looks terrible.' The style was a throwback to the skinhead look Beckham famously debuted during a Premier League match against Leicester City in 2000. He's returned to it several times over the years, and recently named it his favourite look during an interview with close friend Gary Neville on The Overlap podcast. He said: "I always like the skinhead. I always loved the skinhead, because it was easy and you didn't have to do anything with it.' Away from the jokes and laughter, David and Victoria have been left in agony over their explosive family feud. The Beckham brothers are in the 'Gen Z version of World War Three' after Romeo and Cruz blocked Brooklyn on social media. The younger boys are accused of turning their backs on Brooklyn for good, and sending the family deeper into crisis. Model Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola, 30, are said to be 'blindsided' after learning of the snub. Beckham family wish Harper happy 14th birthday - amid fears Brooklyn will swerve party in family feud A source said: 'Blocking or unfollowing someone on Instagram is like the Gen Z version of World War Three. It's a sad new low. 'But the truth is, Brooklyn has cut out his parents David and Victoria from his life and it's the same with Romeo and Cruz. "Even when the family have reached out to Brooklyn they have been ignored. 'He's not had contact for months and it feels clear to them that he doesn't want to make amends.' The feud, which The Sun understands started over money, has been bubbling for several months. Yesterday it was initially reported that Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20. But those close to Brooklyn said this was not true. A friend said: 'Brooklyn had no idea until he read about it online. It's possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as him no longer following the brothers 'He and Nicola certainly didn't unfollow them or block them — they're as confused as anyone else.

Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn. Shortly after Brooklyn learned of his brothers' snub, Romeo reposted Justin Bieber's new song Walking Away on his Instagram stories with the caption: 'Yup.' Blocking or unfollowing someone on Instagram is like the Gen Z version of World War Three. It's a sad new low Source A day earlier Brooklyn posted a photo of him, Nicola and sister Harper for the latter's 14th birthday. Those close to Brooklyn denied this was partly meant as an olive branch to his parents. One friend said: 'There is too much water under the bridge.' Brooklyn had publicly snubbed Victoria on Mother's Day this March, and failed to attend any of David's 50th birthday celebrations in May. Brooklyn's pal insisted: 'Just because he and Nicola love Harper and want to show their affection, it doesn't mean they're trying to make amends with the family.' A separate source said: 'Brooklyn was always very close to Romeo and Cruz. They'd stay in touch even as they grew up and started following different career paths and travelling. 'It has been very difficult for David and Victoria to watch their sons grow apart as family means everything to them.' 5 The style was a throwback to the skinhead look Beckham famously debuted during a Premier League match against Leicester City in 2000 Credit: PA 5 Dad David with his three sons, from left to right, Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn Credit: David Dyson - Commissioned by The Sun

Bob Bubka dead age 83: Legendary reporter and ‘Voice of Golf' who covered Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods passes away
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE legendary 'Voice of Golf' Bob Bubka has died aged 83. American Bubka started working in radio in 1964 covering high school football. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Legendary golf broadcaster Bob Bubka has passed away aged 83 Credit: Getty 3 Bubka earned the respect of golf's greats including Tiger Woods Credit: Getty 3 He was known as the 'Voice of Golf' on talkSPORT Credit: Getty He then began covering golf in the 1980s and worked for NBC Sports and the PGA Tour in America - including his 'Outside the Ropes' show. Then in 2000, Bubka landed a job with talkSPORT, bringing his iconic New York tones to the UK sport radio station. And his standing in golf saw him respected and revered by all. That included two of the greatest golfers of all time - Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. Nicklaus was made an honourary citizen of St Andrews in 2022 and personally invited his dear friend Bubka to be there. And even the notoriously private Woods went out of his way to greet Bubka at The Open that year, seeking him out after a press conference after the iconic broadcaster travelled to the event despite poor health. Rubert Bell of talkSPORT paid an emotional tribute to his great friend and colleague. Bell said: 'Radio is about voice. There is no doubt when you heard Bob Bubka speak, it just grabbed you. 'Unmistakable, iconic, coupled with a wonderful, unique style. For over 25 years, his distinctive American tones enthralled and entertained talkSPORT listeners. 'His love for the game of golf shone through, coupled with a cheeky, almost rebellious element which made him not only a delight to listen to - but in my case - to work with. Baffled Rory McIlroy hits TWO balls with ONE shot in incredible never-seen-before incident at The Open 'Bob was unashamedly biased when it came to Tiger Woods - in awe of his achievements - particularly as he had been brought up in the Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer era. It was a testament to Bob that Tiger always seemed to reach out and say hello. 'In later years, Bob's health made it difficult to travel and his last Open in situ was at St Andrews in 2022. 'He loved being there - and the relish in which he drove his motorised wheelchair around the city was fantastic. 'But what he also loved was the interaction with talkSPORT listeners - and I know in the end, being part of the talkSPORT family was so important to him as he struggled with ill health. 'Even when physically frail, that voice never faltered. Covering the majors will never be the same without that delicious voice drawing us into the magnificent sport of golf.' Others in the golfing world took to social media to post their messages and memories. Mike Parry said: "I'm really saddened to hear of the death of my great pal and legendary golf commentator Bob Bubka. "He was THE best with an incomparably silky voice and unparalleled knowledge of the game. I worked six Opens with him. Joyous professional days... RIP Big Man." Jonathan Norman added: "After marvelling at his voice and broadcasting style for a decade, it was one of my career highs to work with Bob at the 2014 Ryder Cup. "He will be missed greatly. Thoughts with Janice and all Bob's family and friends. RIP." Another wrote: "RIP Bob Bubka….. the voice of golf." And a final user wrote: "Ahhh such sad news. RIP Bob Bubka, the voice of golf. Could listen to him all day."

The 21-year-old from Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia, explained: 'All I know is pink. All I know is being a girl mom – I have never experienced raising a boy and it's just terrifying to me. 'I feel so guilty and like the worst mom in the world because when I saw the baby's gender in that cake, my heart sank.

Read More on Parenting OH BABY I love to dress my boujee baby up in fancy outfits but trolls say it's neglect Throughout her pregnancy, the stay-at-home mum had been convinced she was expecting a second girl; and after already having her daughter, Delilah, it was something she thought she'd be better equipped for. However, that dream soon diminished for Monique during the gender reveal, alongside her husband Brandon; when after uncovering the gender, her reaction failed to live up to expectation. Monique told how she then spent the next few days in tears while trying to process the news.

Having had the experience in how to raise her daughter, Monique fears bringing a boy up will be a completely different scenario.
