Christine McGuinness’s autistic daughter Felicity sings in sweet video as star admits lockdown has damaged her speech

CHRISTINE McGuinness beamed with pride as she filmed her autistic daughter Felicity singing and revealed her speech has regressed in lockdown.

The reality star, 32, couldn’t have looked happier as Felicity, four, sang along in the car to Louis Armstrong’s What A Wonderful World.

Posting the video on Instagram, she wrote: “You wouldn’t believe how much lockdown affected my Felicity’s speech and communication skills 🙁.

“It was her biggest regression and whilst she is no where near talking the way she was before, look what happens when I play music.. just listen to her 🙌

“Voice of an angel this one! 😂 #ProudestMummy.”

It was well received by her followers, some of which have autistic children and found it relatable.

Others were just delighted to see Christine happy.

One wrote: “Wow she made me smile so much my face hurt with pride. How lovely was that.

“What a wonderful “experience “ to share with you both ❤️❤️😁😁👏🏻👏🏻.”

Another said: “Love to watch your face Christine when you talk about your babies pure love and proudness x ( that’s not even a word ) 🤣🤣🥰 x your a fantastic mother. X ❤️ x.”

Last month Christine revealed her three autistic children had returned to their school to give them “some normality”.

And she has spoken of how lockdown had “set them back two years” after disrupting their daily routines.

During a Loose Women chat, Christine revealed her “heart’s breaking” for her children as they’re finding lockdown “really difficult”.

She explained: “This is huge, this is massive, it’s probably the biggest change any of us are going to experience. It’s affecting all three of my children and therefore us as a family.

“It’s heartbreaking to see what it’s doing to them but as a parent, as a mum as a carer. All I can do is be there for them, love them, help them, support them as any mum would.

“They struggle with their speech, their communication, their eye contact, their food, their sensory awareness, and all of the things they’ve struggled with that we’ve spent years and years trying to help them with, now it feels we’ve gone back two years

“It’s really quite upsetting and difficult.”
