Back in July last year Paddy and Christine announced that they had separated after 15 years together.
The former couple met in 2007 and tied the knot in 2011 and have three children - twins Leo and Penelope, eight, and Felicity, five.
Earlier this week Christine launched – a brand-new £2.5m playground – designed specifically so children of all abilities can play together.
The star understands the importance of play for all abilities due to her own experience, having been diagnosed with autism during adulthood, aged 33 and as a mum to three children, Felicity, Leo and Penelope, who have all also been diagnosed with autism.
As an ambassador for the National Autistic Society, Christine is determined to raise awareness of the disorder, and champion the benefits of encouraging children of all abilities to play together.
Speaking about the state-of-the-art playground, she said: “It’s fantastic to be involved in the launch of Butlin’s SKYPARK. I know first-hand just how important play is for all children, but to have an environment where kids of all abilities can play together is really special.
“Children with additional needs such as autism can often lack confidence and need that extra support when it comes to communication. It’s really encouraging to hear that nearly 70% of UK parents are open to learning more about the additional needs some children have.
“By allowing kids to play and learn from each other, we’re helping to facilitate a better understanding for everyone.
“We know that taking part in regular exercise is great for all children’s cognitive development, and I’m really pleased to see Butlin’s taking the next steps in championing inclusivity by creating environments that allow children of all abilities to play together.”
