Presenter Paddy McGuinness has addressed speculation over romance rumours with his colleague Cherry Healey after having worked together on a show. It was announced in the summer of 2023 that Paddy, now 51, would replace Gregg Wallace on Inside the Factory. He's since filmed the new series alongside co-host Cherry, 44, who has been on the BBC show since it launched in 2015.
Paddy made his debut in a Christmas special that aired last month, ahead of the ninth series launching on Tuesday. He reminded of the show's return later this week in a message to his followers on Instagram over the weekend. The post included several photos of Paddy and co-star Cherry - who present Inside the Factory alongside historian Ruth Goodman - together. The pair were seen beside each other in selfies, as well as in a photo of them at a restaurant.
Alongside the photos, Paddy wrote about his colleagues in the accompanying caption of the post. He told his followers last week: "The whole crew on Inside The Factory have been a joy to work with. A small but perfectly formed team.". He continued: "Also I'd never met @cherryhealey before but we hit it off straight away. Absolutely love working with her, she's an absolute diamond!" Paddy concluded: "The new series starts Tuesday 7th on BBC1 & @bbciplayer.".
