Christine McGuinness has reflected on how she feels after sending her twins with autism back to school for a “couple of hours” each day.
McGuinness, 32, the wife of Take Me Out host Paddy McGuinness, shared an emotional post on Instagram, where she echoed the concerns of many parents.
“Back to school,” the mum to six-year-old twins Leo and Penelope wrote. “It’s safe to say we have had a mixture of emotions the last couple of days, mainly from me but mostly good.”
Some British schools and nurseries have already reopened to select year groups, while others are delaying until later this month.

McGuinness wrote: “It’s a personal choice sending your children back to school and not an easy one to make. We’re testing it out taking things one day at a time.
“Trying just a couple of hours, seeing if the twins are happier and more settled with some routine back. If they can do school life safely, then that’s we will do!
Ultimately, she wrote, she just wants her children to be “happy and safe”.
