In the documentary, which airs on Wednesday night at 9 pm on BBC One, Paddy described their struggle."The early days, before we had a diagnosis, were really tough," he said. "They wouldn’t sleep, they had meltdowns at loud noises and bright lights. Nothing we did helped. So we kept the curtains closed and hardly let anyone in the house."

"But then the softer side of me thinks how awful must it be to live in a house with children who maybe you don’t understand or maybe you wished didn’t have this condition."MORE: I'm a Celebrity viewers seriously divided after heated row between Naughty Boy and Kadeena Cox
