Christine McGuinness has made history as the first female winner of Celebrity Hunted, a Channel 4 series where contestants must evade capture from an elite team of hunters. The 36-year-old, who was diagnosed with autism in 2021, was on the run with Blue's Duncan James and managed to outsmart the hunters, gaining a new sense of confidence and a fresh outlook on life. Christine, who shares three autistic children with her ex-husband Paddy McGuinness, said the experience has given her the power to pursue new opportunities and challenge herself in ways she never thought possible.
The Celebrity Hunted series, which was filmed in aid of Stand Up To Cancer, a charity close to Christine's heart, saw twelve celebrities tasked with going on the run across mainland UK while being pursued by the hunters. The contestants included Strictly dancers Giovanni Pernice and Kai Widdrington, Loose Women Denise Welsh and her husband Lincoln Townley, and News Anchors Simon McCoy and Lucrezia Millarini, among others. Christine's win is a significant milestone, not only for her personal growth but also for raising awareness about autism and the importance of self-acceptance.
Christine's journey on Celebrity Hunted was not just about evading capture but also about self-discovery and empowerment. She confessed that the experience has changed her life for the better, allowing her to realize her capabilities and potential. The former model, who has been navigating single life since her split from Paddy McGuinness in 2022, said she is now more open-minded to trying new things and taking on challenges, even if they seem scary. Her newfound confidence is a testament to the impact of the show and the support she has received from her fans and fellow autistic individuals.
