The 'Take Me Out' presenter and his wife have reportedly filed a police report at their local station in Cheshire, claiming that thousands of pounds worth of items have been stolen from their palatial home, according to The Sun.

Paddy, 45 and 30-year-old Christine, live in a £2.1 million mansion in the area with their three children, twins Penelope and Leo, five and Felicity, two.

Last year, Christine revealed that their twins had been diagnosed with autism and said Felicity was also showing signs of the condition.

She said: "We had absolutely no idea they had autism even though the signs were there. They were non-verbal until they were three, they both walked on their tip toes, they didn't socialise very well.

"They still do struggle with socialising with other children, and that's probably one of the most heartbreaking parts of it because that's just something you expect your children to do, go and make lots of friends."

And Paddy has admitted that their children's condition has affected their marriage.

He said: "It's very, very, very, very difficult, you know any parent with children with any kind of special needs is very difficult.

"Some days it's a wonder how we're still together, me and Christine, because you can't sort of do the normal things that you would as a couple.

"I can count on one hand the amount of times we've been on a night out together, because you can't just have a babysitter. You can't just say 'I'll drop them off at me relatives to look after' because it's not like that."

Paddy suggested being raised by his mother has left him with the impression that women adjust to parenthood better than men, and admitted he focused on going out to work to provide for the family.

However, he struggled, and revealed he suffered with depression as he tried to cope with his new family life.

He said: "And then with the autism, for me, the more I saw it and the more they had really bad days, I'd get so down, you know, I'd be like, depression and different things would wash over me."
