Fans have been left convinced Paddy McGuinness is dating his Inside The Factory co-star after posting photos of the pair together.
The TV star has since broken her silence and acknowledged the rumors that began circulating.
Paddy surprised his followers by posting a carousel of images on Instagram with his Inside The Factory co-star Cherry Healey.
His divorce from ex-wife Christine McGuinness was finalized in 2024 after their shock breakup in 2022.
Is Paddy McGuinness dating his co-star?
In the Instagram post, one of the photos showed Paddy and Cherry having a meal together and also visiting a bookstore.
He talked about the entire team working on the show, but took the time to greet Cherry individually — and it was very sweet.
Paddy captioned the post: “The whole team at Inside The Factory were a pleasure to work with. A small but perfectly formed team. Also, I had never met Cherry before, but we hit it off right away. I love working with her. She is an absolute diamond!
This led fans to believe there was something more going on behind the scenes. And they wasted no time in sharing their opinions.
One wrote: “Is this a soft launch for your new Mrs?”
Another added: “Oooh I like this.” New lady Paddy? You two are cute together. A subtle introduction.
A third wrote: “I suspect she’s your soulmate! »
“It looks like someone is in love with me. Congratulations if so,” commented a fourth.
However, hopes were quickly dashed when Paddy decided to tackle the rumors head on and give a definitive answer.
In the comments, he replied: “Not at all. He’s just a great person.
The simple but declarative answer suggests that Paddy is still looking for love, but unfortunately for his fans, not with his new co-host.
Paddy made his Inside the Factory debut alongside Cherry last month during the BBC Christmas special.
Paddy and Cherry hit it off as soon as they met
Fans’ hopes may have been raised over a possible romance after Paddy admitted to The Sun he was nervous about working with Cherry for the first time.
He admitted: “That’s always the tricky part. You hope you continue. But I’m telling you now, Cherry and I laugh so much. As soon as I met her we had the greatest conversation and got along like that.
The new duo comes after Gregg Wallace left the show last year after allegations against him came to light.
Paddy’s love life has been in the spotlight since he and Christine confirmed their shock split. Although they were once an adorable couple, the two couldn’t make their 11-year relationship work.
Since the split he has been linked to TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher. In February 2023, they were spotted on what onlookers suspected was a date. However, it seems dating doesn’t suit Paddy just yet.
He said earlier this year: “I tried a few dates last year. After 12 months of adjusting to life alone, I felt like I should try rather than really want to. For now, I’m happy to be single.
