Paddy McGuinness Addresses Romance Rumours with Inside The Factory Co-Star Post-Split

Paddy McGuinness Navigates Dating Rumors Amid Co-Star Speculations

As the world tunes into the latest buzz from television and entertainment, Paddy McGuinness finds himself at the center of some intriguing dating rumors linked to his co-star on Inside The Factory. Following his recent Instagram post featuring a series of snapshots with Cherry Healey, fans began to speculate about a possible romance blooming between the two.

Paddy’s divorce from Christine McGuinness was finalized in 2024 after their surprising breakup in 2022, a timeline many followers are keenly aware of. In his Instagram carousel, Paddy shared moments of camaraderie with Cherry, including a cozy meal and a visit to a bookstore. His post was accompanied by a heartfelt tribute to the crew and a particularly warm mention of Cherry, which stirred the rumor mill even further.

The caption read, “The whole crew on Inside The Factory have been a joy to work with. A small-but-perfectly-formed team. Also, I had never met Cherry before, but we hit it off straight away. Absolutely love working with her. She’s an absolute diamond!” Such glowing praise inevitably led fans to wonder if there was more to their relationship than just professional rapport. Comments flooded in, with one user playfully suggesting it might be a “soft launch” for a new romance and another firmly declaring them a cute couple.

However, Paddy swiftly addressed the swirling speculations in the comments, stating, “Not at all. She’s just a great person.” His straightforward response indicates that while he appreciates Cherry’s company, he is not pursuing a romantic relationship with her at this time.

Despite the enthusiasm from fans, Paddy’s foray into dating has proven challenging since his split from Christine. He previously admitted to The Sun that he felt apprehensive about working alongside Cherry but was pleasantly surprised by their instant chemistry. “That’s always the tricky bit. You hope you get on. But I’m telling you now, me and Cherry do so much laughing. As soon as I met her, we had the biggest talk and we just got on like that,” he revealed.

Transitioning to new dynamics after Gregg Wallace exited the show last year has also added an extra layer of interest to Paddy’s journey on Inside The Factory. Since parting ways with Christine after an 11-year marriage, Paddy has been linked to presenter Kirsty Gallacher, with reports of a possible date in February 2023, but he still emphasizes his comfort with being single for now.

Earlier this year, he disclosed, “I tried a couple of dates last year. After 12 months of adjusting to life on my own, I felt I should give it a try rather than really wanting to. For now, I’m happy being single.”

As fans remain eager for updates regarding his love life, it’s clear that Paddy McGuinness continues to focus on his work and personal well-being, navigating the complexities of fame, friendships, and new beginnings.

Are Paddy and Cherry destined for more than friendship? The speculation continues, but for now, it seems the talented presenter is still enjoying the single life while appreciating the friendships he builds along the way.
