Paddy McGuinness says it's 'mind blowing' as he reveals little-known job before fame

Paddy McGuinness may now be known for being a TV presenter but he has revealed his little-known job before finding fame. The Bolton-born star rose to fame with the help of his pal Peter Kay, who invited him to appear in his programmes That Peter Kay Thing, Phoenix Nights and Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere.

But taking to social media earlier this week, Paddy said it was 'mind blowing as he revealed what he used to do for work as he appeared to show his support for the junior doctors' strike. Around 50,000 junior doctors in England are walking out of their jobs until Saturday (April 15), demanding pay rises in line with inflation.

A new campaign from the British Medical Association says junior doctors starting work in hospitals earn £14.09 per hour in their basic pay packet – which does not include additional payments for weekend or overnight pay. The union claims junior doctors in England have seen a 26 percent real-terms pay cut since 2008/09 because pay rises have been below inflation.
