Christine McGuinness enjoys topless sunbathing session as she spends Easter weekend with husband Paddy and their three children

Fun in the sun: Christine McGuinness was enjoying a topless sunbathing session in her garden as she spent Easter Sunday with her loved ones 

She recently confessed her husband Paddy McGuinness had only been home five times in 30 days.

And Christine McGuinness was cherishing spending quality time with the TV personality and their three children - five-year-old twins Penelope and Leo, and daughter Felicity, three - on Sunday.

Spending Easter Bank Holiday weekend as a family, the 31-year-old reality star revealed she was enjoying a topless sunbathing session in her garden.

'Happy Easter my fabulous little chicks', she enthused.

Last week, Christine was thrilled to be reunited with her husband Paddy after saying no one questions him for not being around for their children - even though he's only been home five times in 30 days due to his work commitments.

Clearly thrilled to have him back in the family home, she shared a loved-up snap of them on Instagram on Thursday, writing: 'Mine' in the caption.

Christine was soon back in the gym, showing off her incredible physique in a red co-ord as she worked on her arms. 

And it's clear that despite her very brief departure from home, Paddy was very much on Christine's mind. 

She wrote: 'Stronger arms.. because I want to hold you tight forever.'

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Christine hit back at sexist trolls after having had enough of reading some of the comments which were being thrown at her, suggesting she was abandoning her children to work out. 

She noted that she had left the house for a 45-minute gym session and the children had been at school.

Christine noted that while her husband Paddy works hard, no one ever questions how little he is home with the family. 

Double standards: Christine previously slammed sexist fans who criticized her for 'leaving kids for gym sessions' as she claimed Paddy has been home 'five times in the last 30 days'

She's so right: Christine noted that no one ever asks where husband Paddy is and she has been going to the gym while the children are at school - not that she needs to justify herself 

The Real Housewives Of Cheshire wrote: 'My husband has been home five times in the last 30 days, he is a busy, hard-working man, but no one ever asks him who is looking after his children... (me of course).

'I go the gym for 45 minutes whilst they're at school and get questioned on who is looking after my children! God bless equality.' 

Christine and Paddy are parents to twins Penelope and Leo, five, who both have autism.

Feeling alone: While Christine understands that Paddy has work commitments, she says she often feels like a 'single mother' as he is away from home so much 

She also revealed her daughter Felicity, three, has been showing signs of having the condition and said she often feels like a 'single mother' due to Paddy's work schedule.

Lots of fans took to the comments section to throw their support behind her, including former Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley. 

She wrote: 'A happy mother = a happy home. Doesn’t matter if that’s 45 mins or 3 hours. You’re still YOU. Not just ‘mummy’ . And you’re doing an AMAZING job.'
