Christine McGuinness opens up on eating disorder
Christine knew she was anorexic at the age of eight.
The star later went on to move to Paris in her late teens in a bid to launch her career as a model and dancer.
At the time, Christine would only eat 90 calorie Cup-A-Soups every other day.
I barely ate
Speaking to the MailOnline, she shared: “The only thing that got slightly out of control was my eating disorder. No one was keeping an eye on me, so I barely ate.
“I was dancing and burning a lot of calories, and I never took a dinner break. It was easy for me to get away with not eating, because no one was watching me.”
Christine only began her recovery after meeting husband Paddy.

The model added: “Patrick would give me food in little dribs and drabs, so I didn’t even notice. It was in such a soft way.”
The couple have since went on to welcome eight-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and five-year-old Felicity.
Before welcoming her first two children, it took Christine four years for her body to regulate.

During the chat, Christine also admitted that her “autism played a part” in her eating disorder battle.
The mum-of-three was diagnosed with the condition last year.
Christine underwent tests as her three children all have autism.
The model documented the process on her BBC One documentary with husband Paddy, Our Family and Autism.
After being diagnosed, Christine said: “I’m absolutely fine with being autistic.
