Christine McGuinness was sent a sweet message by her mum after they ditched the UK together. The model and TV personality was joined by Joanne as she took her three young children away on holiday.

Last week, Christine started by giving an honest glimpse into the prep of the family holiday, starting her Instagram Story dump with a video of her looking sleepy in front of a half-packed suitcase.

She then captioned the relatable clip: "School holidays have officially begun… send caffeine. She then went on to upload a tired-looking mirror selfie, in which the 36-year-old could be seen rubbing her eyes while showing off her incredibly toned stomach in a pair of white shorts and a nude bra top. "Let’s go and make more memories babies," she wrote in the caption of the post.

After arriving at her holiday destination, Christine was quick to show off her gym-honed body once more as she slipped into a black bikini and posed up a storm in front of the mirror.
