Christine McGuinness puts on a brave face as she suffers leg injury filming ITV’s The Games
CHRISTINE McGuinness suffered a leg injury on the set of ITV’s The Games but bravely continued on with filming.
Christine, 33, was spotted with sports tape on her leg as she films the reality series alongside 11 other celebrities as they compete in a series of Olympic style challenges.
Despite hurting her leg, Christine kept on going and was even spotted smiling, according to a report in the Daily Star.
“Christine was putting a brave face on. She obviously isn’t letting any niggles force her off the show,” an onlooker told the outlet.
“There are some activities she may struggle with but she is giving it her best.”
The model and autism ambassador revealed to fans competing on the show was tougher than she imagined.
“I’m not really sure what has happened to my life to be honest. I don’t think I signed up for this. What a day,” she said on Instagram.
“I’m living in gym clothes at the minute, being trained and coached in something almost every day. I love it, but it’s not easy.
