Christine McGuinness has revealed her daughter Penelope was rushed to hospital on Christmas Eve.
The model, 37, shares Penelope as well as twin Leo, 12, and seven-year-old Felicity with her ex-husband Paddy McGuinness, 52.
While assuring Penelope, 12, is now okay and returned home in time for Christmas, Christine shared the scary ordeal in an Instagram post on Thursday.
Christine McGuinness wrote: ‘Christmas Eve 6pm. A&E. Luckily, Thank God, my Penelope is ok. Please do not worry.
‘Sending a big thank you to all of the doctors and nurses working over Christmas and looking after us, making sure we got home in time for Santa.’
She added: ‘These last 24hrs have been eventful! With a flooded bathroom, last minute shopping, a visit to A&E, wrapping past midnight and remembering that Christmas looks different for everyone!
‘However Christmas meets you this year, I hope there are small glimmers of joy in your day.
‘Thinking of those who are alone or grieving, and celebrating those welcoming new love, new babies, and new dreams. Wishing you all a wonderful, magical, peaceful Christmas.’
Paddy revealed that he and his ex-wife Christine were spending Christmas together for the sake of their three children.
The TV presenter and model announced their split in July 2022 after 11 years of marriage. They have since been open about their co-parenting journey and are still living together in the family home.
In an interview, Paddy said that he and his ex will ‘of course’ spend the festive period together for the sake of their children.
He told The Sun: ‘I feel for people who separate. Separations are a tough experience for anyone to go through.
‘So if you can come out of it as friends and still get on and do the best for your kids, it’s a bonus.
When asked if they would spend Christmas Day together, he replied: ‘Of course, because both of our families are our children’s relatives. Our children are always happy to see all of our family.’
Paddy added that they are lucky to have a ‘nice vibe’ in their household, and the children don’t pick up on any negativity.
He also explained that most parents who have separated simply want what is best for their children.
The former Top Gear presenter said the pair are ‘lucky’ in the sense that their children see them laughing and joking together at home.
Speaking about their festive plans, Paddy shared that friends and family will come over to their home to see the children.
He added that on Christmas Day, they will have a ‘quiet one’, as that is how his children like to spend the festive occasion.
