Christine McGuinness tells of difficult upbringing in extract of her upcoming memoir
Today she lives an Instagram-friendly life many would envy, sharing a large comfortable home with her three beautiful children and Top Gear presenter husband Paddy McGuinness.
The Full Monty star began by revealing how as a child, her family were on the poverty line, living in a council flat with barely enough money for electricity and to have the heating on."My mum Joanne and I laugh now and say my siblings and I were dragged up. But I wouldn’t change it – if you haven’t got anything, you don’t miss it."
As well as having little in the way of materialistic terms, Christine struggled with confidence issues during her school years and battled an eating disorder which resulted in the young girl often skipping meals.The 33 year old explained that while she wasn't concerned about body image, her avoidance of eating stemmed from her fussiness with food.
"And my reason for a life of sobriety is due in part to my up bringing and situations I found myself in as a teenager. To say I had a rough ride during my adolescence is an understatement." Christine added that she remembered saying no and tried to push him off but was so drunk she "couldn't physically move him."
"But there was no denying it was awful," she said. "My virginity was taken, and I didn’t get to have that special moment with my childhood sweetheart."From the age of nine to 13, she was sexually abused by someone, who she revealed would make her watch sexual videos as well as awful clips of people being murdered.
