Paddy McGuinness Denies Dating Co-Star

Paddy McGuinness has dismissed rumors of dating his co-host Cherry Healey, which arose after he posted affectionate photos of them on Instagram while promoting the new series of 'Inside the Factory'. The 51-year-old comedian, who replaced Gregg Wallace on the BBC show, expressed his admiration for Cherry, calling her an 'absolute diamond', but clarified that their relationship is purely platonic. Speculation intensified as fans commented on their apparent chemistry, with some jokingly suggesting a romantic involvement. However, Paddy responded to these comments by confirming they are just friends and have developed a strong camaraderie while working together. This comes after his divorce from Christine McGuinness in 2022, with whom he shares three children. The new series of 'Inside the Factory' premiered on January 7, 2024.
