He added: “After discovering, 3 days before we were due to fly, our youngest daughter’s passport had expired, our holiday to Spain had to be cancelled. We’d been telling the kids all about it, especially the airport part, so to suddenly change plans wasn’t easy! Mums and dads with autistic children will know exactly what I mean.”

The pair had been due to fly away to Spain but settled on a family break to Centre Parcs instead. Paddy explained: “Thankfully we got lucky and found the last available lodge at Centre Parcs, I booked it straight away. It was a big tree house and the kids absolutely loved it!!!

“We had a full week of activities booked for them and discovered a few of our children’s hidden talents, namely scaling the indoor climbing walls. I’m so proud of how well they did but mainly by how much fun they had.”

He added that he alongside wife Christine and their three kids had met another family who also had a child with autism. Paddy and Christine have been vocal about autism in a BBC documentary which highlighted how all three of their children have the condition and live with it.

What is happening in Paddy’s marriage?

The couple have reportedly hit a rough patch, with headlines highlighting the pair could be struggling.

Whilst appearing on ITV’s Lorraine, Christine recently addressed the rumours.

She said: “Marriages just go up and down anyway, all marriages – especially long ones like ours, 15 years together.

“It’s not always going to be plain sailing. We’re trying to deal with things as privately as possible and we both just want to be there to support the children and give them an amazing summer.”
