Christine McGuinness broke down in tears as she told fans she was having a "b****y hard day" as she shared the challenges of rising three autistic children.
The wife of comedian Paddy McGuinness, who she shares daughter Felicity Rose and twins Penelope and Leo with, took to Instagram to post the emotional and candid video.
The former Miss Liverpool, 31, said: "Hello I don't want to bring anyone's mood down, but I just want to show the reality of being a mum of autistic children.

She removed her glasses and continually wiped the tears from her face as she added: "Sometimes it's not fun, today was just a really bad morning, I know it will be fine later but this is what you don't see.
"I am fine and I'm upset for my children, this was just a bad morning, and I'll have a good day, it's just sometimes it's not always fun

The blonde beauty also expressed to fans that while her children were doing well, things were still not always "fine and lovely".
The star of the Real Housewives of Cheshire said: "I don't want to bring anyone down I just think it's important to show it's not always fine and lovely and they're all doing great and they are, they're all doing brilliant, but it's hard, but it's b****y hard."

Continuing to dab a tissue on her face, she informed her followers that she was okay and that "a cup of tea" and a "blow dry" would cheer her up for a night out she had planned that evening.
"You won't even recognised me," she half-laughed, still sounding emotional. "I'm gonna have a whole transformation. I'm gonna look fabulous later"

She signed off by thanking her fans for supporting her, expressing: "I know I'm going to get lots of love in my DM's and this is why I do this, because I've got no one else to talk to."
This is not the first time Christine has spoken publicly about the struggles of having children with the development disability.
Speaking out in her first interview since revealing the news last month, she admitted that her heart broke for all of her children and told how the condition was also taking a toll on her and Paddy.
She said that the couple felt like 'full time carers' and there was nobody she could turn to about her challenges.
"I'm the worst when it comes to telling people I'm strugglng. I will never say if I’ve had a bad day and, to be honest, there’s no one I feel I can speak to," she told OK! Magazine.
The former beauty queen also said that she fell out with her family after the twins were first diagnosed and she'd also lost friends over it.
"I just don’t feel there’s anyone in my life that I would fully trust with anything," she explained.
"And then it’s also that fear that if I get upset and let my emotions out, I won’t be able to get myself back together," she said.
Christine, who has been married to husband Paddy, 46, for nine years, said dealing with three autistic children had also impacted her marriage.
"There’s no time for us as a couple.
No quality time, no date nights.
Not even time to have a laugh together. We’re full-time carers and the kids come before everything.
But we have to stay strong as a unit for our kids," she said.
