When quizzed on whether he can be crowned King of the Castle, Christine said: "You're only as good as you're last episode.
"He can be a little bit unpredictable. He's human, he's flawed. But what you're seeing in there s very much Shane. He's fantastic, funny and you're seeing the tender side - how loving and caring he is.
"And fatherly too - that's how he was with Jess.
"He's got amazing fans."
