Paddy McGuinness breaks down in tears as he finishes Children In Need challenge with mind-blowing sum raised


Paddy McGuinness was in tears as he finished his 300 mile Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge on his Raleigh Chopper bike from Wrexham AFC to Glasgow for Children In Need

Pushing himself beyond the usual limits, the Bolton-born celebrity took on the mammoth task of the Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge, pedalling a jaw-dropping 300 miles from Wrexham AFC to Glasgow aboard a classic Raleigh Chopper. At the break of dawn, at 6.45am, Paddy embarked on the final leg of his epic cycle ride, pushing through the last 18.5 miles to complete an extraordinary near-300-mile journey from Wrexham to Glasgow over five gruelling days aboard his trusty little Raleigh Chopper, endearingly dubbed Patch. Paddy McGuinness opened up to Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 show, sharing: "As usual at this time of the morning, everything is sore, everything is aching but again I've just rocked up here where I'm going to set off, it's dark, it's a little bit drizzly, and people are already here to wish me well so you can't be in a positive mind about that.."
