In an episode of the BBC Two show Pilgrimage, Christine was reduced to tears as she discussed dying and leaving her children behind with a female vicar.
Taking to her Instagram, where she has 735K followers, the mum of three shared a short clip from the show.
In the heartbreaking clip, the TV personality is sitting outside a church and can be heard saying to the vicar: "I just don't know what I'd do without my kids. I don't know what I'd do without my babies.
"I just wanted to come back and look at the church again and really appreciate it because I don't enjoy the feeling of death. As a mum, it absolutely petrifies me.

"My biggest fear is leaving my children one day. My children are considered different because they're all autistic, and so am I and I have often had comments like, 'I bet you wish there was a cure or something to fix your children', and I really don't.
"I think every single child is a miracle. It just makes me want to be around forever because they're so magical.”
Holding back tears, she bravely admitted: “It is my purpose in life, and I know I wouldn't be here if I didn't have my children. I also don't know what they'd do without me; it scares me, it really does.”.

"My dream is to make our wonderfully diverse world a more inclusive and understanding place for future generations. Blessed to have this shown during World Autism Acceptance Week.
