Paddy McGuinness furious after he's refused entry to his own BBC Radio show
Paddy McGuinness has shared his frustration with listeners after revealing he was denied entry to his own radio show at the weekend. Paddy, 51, has been the host of his own programme on BBC Radio 2 every Sunday from 11am to 1pm since June last year. The presenter took over the role from Michael Ball and has been delighting fans on the airwaves for the last 13 months. Despite the length of the show, the star has revealed his frustration with the radio staff in the Salford studio as he revealed that they still don't recognise him after over a year. 'How long have we been doing this show? It's been over a year actually,' he said rhetorically to his listeners on Sunday. 'I'm just wondering when security are gonna know it's me.' He explained that it's not about vanity or fame, it's about practicality and trying to gain access to the building. 'I'm not even bothered about them recognising me off the telly, or anything I've done throughout my career. 'Just the fact that I come in every Sunday for a year and a bloke still wouldn't let me in this morning. 'Have you got your pass?' ''Pass?' I said: 'See that yellow chopper there, son, with 10 million quid stuck on top of it? I did that.' ''Ohhhhhh,' come on security, play the game!'' The news comes as Paddy and DJ Vernon Kay have returned to Celebrity Gogglebox. During a June episode, Paddy confessed to an unexpected celebrity crush that he says he wasn't supposed to have. 'There's something about Rachel Riley. I don't know what it is. You know when you have, like, a celebrity crush that you're not supposed to have?' he said in a recent episode. Vernon quipped: '[Rachel] is a [Manchester] United fan,' referencing the fact that Paddy and Vernon both support fellow Lancashire side Bolton Wanderers. More Trending 'Oh, I've gone right off her!', Paddy immediately shot back, jokingly deciding that Rachel's choice of football team was enough to kill his crush. Paddy was married to ex-wife Christine McGuinness (née Martin) between 2011 and 2024 – the couple had three children, including two twins, throughout the 13 years they were together. In 2022, it was announced that the couple had separated, but they would continue living in their family home together with 10-year-old twins Penelope and Leo, and seven-year-old Felicity. The couple's divorce was finalised in 2024, but they still live in the same house to make things easier for their children, who are all autistic. Got a story?
