Tempting Fortune host Paddy McGuinness on ‘revisiting’ grief of losing beloved mum: ‘It’s horrendous’

Paddy McGuinness, host of Tempting Fortune, has previously addressed 'revisiting' the grief of losing his mum when she was just 64.

Paddy McGuinness was raised by his mum Pat, who worked two jobs as a cleaner and a barmaid to put food on the table for her young son in the 1970s.

In his memoir My Lifey, Tempting Fortune host Paddy reflected on losing his mother – and admitted it brought up “horrendous” memories.
