Paddy McGuinness has given a rare, and brilliantly honest, insight into life as a dad-of-three as he continues to live with ex-wife Christine McGuinness in their Cheshire home. The comedian and presenter was on The One Show on Thursday night (March 23) to chat about his new Channel 4 show, Tempting Fortune.
The new programme, hosted by Paddy, sees 12 strangers give up all luxuries to endure a gruelling 18-day trek across the South African wilderness as they attempt to reach a shared £300,000 prize at the finish line.
Picking up on the theme of the programme, The One Show host Jermaine Jenas asked what Paddy would be tempted by and he revealed that it would be "the little things." He told the former footballer and his co-host Alex Jones: "Weirdly for me I think it is tea and coffee."

Referring to his home life, the Bolton-born star went on to say: "I've got three kids, I've got to have at least four coffees in the morning. Parents out there will know exactly what I mean, I've got to have it!" He added: "God knows how I'd go on doing that. I can go without burgers and things like that but tea and coffee - it's the little things," as Alex, who is also mum to three children, agreed.
Paddy shares twins Penelope and Leo and youngest daughter Felicity with model Christine. The couple announced in July last year that they had decided to part ways but would continue to live together to raise their children, who all have autism.
Earlier this month, a proud Paddy shared a heartfelt message as the praise poured in for his ex Christine's brave solo documentary about her adult autism diagnosis at 33 while
