After having the support of a nation behind him all week, Paddy McGuinness has completed his 300-mile cycle for Children In Need. He has cycled almost 300 miles from Wrexham AFC to Glasgow on a Raleigh Chopper, and people have been lining the streets along the way. The Farnworth lad crossed the line at around 10.
30am today to the tune of pipe music . Paddy then headed to hug his family, including his step-brother Tony, with many supporters who have travelled up from Lancashire and Bolton to support him. He said, speaking to Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2: "I can't believe it, coming out of East Kilbride I was looking at Glasgow.
"I had Sir Tom at the side of me, I came round the corner, what a site, what a feeling. "Every morning when I woke up everything was aching. "When you get on the road and everyone comes out it spurs you on.
"Until you're in the moment, I can't get across what it felt like. "Everyone came out. "It's a moment I'll take to my grave.
" In a poignant moment, Paddy was presented with his grandfather's medal from the Boer War, which Vernon Kay helped track down to congratulate the exhausted Radio 2 presenter "That is amazing, thank you very much," Paddy said. "I'm gonna need a couple of weeks in a dark room after this just to wrap my head around it." The total raised has now been revealed at £7,556,853, and is expected to continue to increase ahead of The Children In Need show tonight on BBC One from 7pm-10pm.
