Christine McGuinness reveals she and Paddy can go on a plane with their children for the first time in six years

Christine McGuinness has revealed she and husband Paddy McGuinness were able to get their children on an airplane for the first time in six years.

The couple’s twins Penelope and Leo, six, have autism and Christine has explained how trips abroad haven’t been possible in the past.

She has now shared a heart-warming post about their little ones and posted a sweet photo of them boarding a plane at Manchester airport to fly to Southampton.

Their children, including two-year-old Felicity, are pictured walking up the steps and wearing noise-cutting headphones.

❤️❤️❤️ we done it 😍 our first flight all together as a family and it went so well. We are immensely proud of Leo, Penelope and Felicity. Despite all of the extra obstacles our children have to deal with, they stepped well out of their comfort zone and they done it so well. This has been 6 years in the making, planning and dreaming for a family holiday. We started with a weekend in Southampton (we didn’t want to risk going abroad for the first time flying incase it went awful, we knew we could get a train home) but they done amazing, I don’t think it will be long until we have our first holiday abroad! 🙏☀️❤️⠀ This maybe be a ‘normal’ thing to do for most families but for ‘autism’ families like ours this is a huge achievement! Thank you @manairportuk @sou_airport @flybe for assisting and understanding our children’s additional needs we really are so grateful. #theproudestmummyintheworld #PeppaPigWorld #exhaustedMummy #proud #autism #autismawarness
