Paddy McGuinness once encouraged his "terrified" then-wife Christine McGuinness, to get an important test after her family faced a health crisis.Paddy has just finished his impressive 300-mile endurance ride on a classic chopper, cycling from Wales to Scotland raising money for Children in Need.Two years after his split with model Christine, she shared in her 2021 autobiography, A Beautiful Nightmare, a terrifying health scare she experienced, which Paddy helped her through.
She opened up about her mum’s fight with breast cancer, meaning there was a “strong risk” she could develop the disease as well.
Although the thought of taking a test to check the risk “terrified” her, reports the Echo.Christine wrote: "I need to be around for my children for as long as possible and if that meant I was required to have a double mastectomy to reduce my chances of developing cancer, I was fully prepared to do it.
Actually doing the test was another story. I put off having it for so long because I was terrified what the results might be.But it was something my husband encouraged me to do, too.
