With his ultra-endurance cycling challenge, Paddy McGuinness has become the latest celebrity to raise a jaw-dropping figure for BBC’s Children in Need.
The 51-year-old set off on his 300-mile cycling challenge on Monday – the route will see the comedian cycle from Wrexham, Wales to Glasgow, Scotland on a modified Raleigh Chopper bike. To prepare, McGuinness trained with six-time Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy, who made headlines himself for sharing his shock terminal cancer diagnosis last month.
