In the very first episode, she appeared visibly uncomfortable at times, and the experts even took note.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Now, Christine has addressed her time on the show for the first time since it aired. She took to her <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/instagram\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a> following her summer getaway with ex Paddy and their children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Where do I even start, thank you so much for all the love on Celebs Go Dating,&#8221; Christine said. &#8220;It is mad watching it back. We filmed it in April, so it is a couple months ago and I&#8217;m watching it back seeing how everyone else got on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;You are with the other celebs but you are not on the dates with them. They tell you about it, but actually seeing it, I have loved. I have loved that bit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Speaking of watching herself on the show, Christine confessed: &#8220;God, I was so nervous. I was so nervous, I can&#8217;t believe it. It is mad. I was so in it at the time and in my head.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;It was just really overwhelming. But, the response from the four episodes I have been on has been really, really positive and gorgeous so thank you so much. I appreciate all the love and all the support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">On the very first episode, viewers noticed how nervous Christine was as they picked up on clues she wouldn&#8217;t last the whole series. While at a mixer with the other celebs and a group of singletons, the show&#8217;s experts revealed they needed to find someone to take with them to Ibiza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">However, it all seemed too much for Christine as she had reservations straight away. She was seen grabbing onto fellow star <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/all-about\/kerry-katona\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Kerry KatonaLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kerry Katona<\/a> as she admitted: &#8220;I need a minute, I need a minute.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Christine was filmed walking away from the group as she took a moment to herself. She told Kerry: &#8220;I just don&#8217;t want to take someone away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Speaking directly to the camera, Christine shared: &#8220;How can I take someone I&#8217;ve just met away? This is just not normal.&#8221; Expert Anna Williamson admitted: &#8220;She is the most nervous out of all the celebrities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">In another episode in the week, Christine admitted: &#8220;In all honesty, I&#8217;m finding being away from the kids and being here with everyone a little bit too intense. I&#8217;m just craving a bit of peace and quiet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE: <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/money\/shopping-deals\/rem-fit-mattress-bedding-deal-35732834\" data-tmdatatrack=\"read-more\" data-tmdatatrack-articleid=\"35732834\" data-tmdatatrack-source=\"editorial\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mattress that helps with back pain is now \u00a3248 cheaper and comes with free bedding<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Like this story?
