Paddy McGuinness Named Host of Inside The Factory

Paddy McGuinness has officially taken over as the host of BBC's Inside The Factory, replacing Gregg Wallace, who stepped down amid allegations of sexual misconduct. Wallace's departure follows an investigation into inappropriate comments made during filming at a Nestlé factory, leading to complaints from female staff. In an interview, McGuinness shared his initial nerves about working with co-host Cherry Healey but expressed excitement about their chemistry and shared humor. His first episode features a visit to a Belgian chocolate factory, showcasing the production of Guylian chocolate seashells. Reflecting on his journey, McGuinness recalled the full-circle moment of returning to the BBC after working there in his youth. He humorously noted the significance of wearing a hairnet, joking about his own thinning hair compared to his younger days.
