Christine McGuinness has claimed she was raped at a house party aged 13, and subsequently ‘blamed’ herself because she had been under the influence of alcohol.
The model, 33, said she lost her virginity when one of her classmates reportedly climbed into a bed she had been sleeping in and forced himself upon her.
In excerpts obtained by The Mirror from her upcoming autobiography, A Beautiful Nightmare, she claimed that members of staff at her school gave her ‘very little sympathy’ and tried to convince her that she had ‘got it wrong’.

Detailing how she was abused, she wrote: ‘I remember saying “no” and I tried to push him off, but I was so drunk I couldn’t physically move him.
‘After that I blamed myself massively. I know as an adult it wasn’t my fault, but I still think if I wasn’t drunk it wouldn’t have happened. But I’m OK, thank God.’
The TV personality went on to claim she was sexually abused by ‘someone close to her family’ between the ages of nine and 13 who made her watch videos ‘with sexual stuff in it’ as well as ‘tapes of people being murdered’.

She penned: ‘He’d also take me on days out to places like the beach, and after playing in the sea he would tell me he didn’t have any dry clothes. I would then have to travel home naked.’
Paddy McGuiness’ wife went on to write that she had heard the man – who was ‘loved’ by everyone – later went to prison for abusing a child.
It followed an investigation surrounding claims of pedophilia where he wasn’t prosecuted for his crimes, she said.
A survey by UN Women UK recently revealed that 80% of women of all ages in Britain have been sexually harassed.
