‘Why did not you tell me?’ Paddy McGuinness left red-faced after being caught chatting on camera ahead of This Morning interview
Paddy McGuinness made a hilarious mistake during This Morning on Friday, when he was caught on camera talking without knowing he was being filmed.
The 49-year-old host was a guest to discuss his new game show Tempting Fortune, but was caught talking to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary before realizing they were already filming it.
He said, ‘Are we live? It could have been fucking blinding! Why didn’t you tell me then?
I was talking about Marti Pellow! That was almost #cancelled!’
As the interview began, Paddy congratulated This Morning presenter Alison on getting her new job hosting The Great British Bake Off.
oops! Paddy McGuinness made a hilarious mistake during This Morning on Friday, when he was caught on camera talking without knowing he was being filmed.
He jokingly said: ‘First the BBC, then ITV and now you followed me on Channel 4. I want to put it on ethos, unfollow me!
Get your own concert, Hammond! I’m sick of giving you an edge in the industry!’
The father-of-three detailed his own experience participating in a celebrity version of the baking show, saying: “When I was with the other contestants and they said, ‘Oh, I tried that last night,’ I had nothing, I just got here! that day!
Alison and Dermot then played a clip of Paddy’s biggest baking disaster, and he proceeded to blame Judge Paul Hollywood.
He said: ‘I blame everything on Hollywood! Not the place, the man, I’m calling him, the man is a fraud!
‘He told me what to do and I followed him to the letter and that’s what happened. I want to see that man’s baking credentials.
It comes after Paddy detailed his battle with clinical depression and revealed that it was his estranged wife Christine who detected the symptoms.
The TV presenter admitted he was “unaware” of how low he had come, saying he found himself quickly losing his temper as he recalled his struggles.
Oh darling! The presenter was caught talking to hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary before realizing he was already being filmed.
Fun! He said, ‘Are we live? It could have been fucking blinding! Why didn’t you tell me then?
Blunder: Added ‘I was talking about Marti Pellow! That was almost #cancelled!’
Paddy said that he began to resent his job, as he would have to make a crowd of people laugh before he would have to go home unhappy.
speaking in the Monday Mile podcast, Paddy said he was diagnosed with clinical depression after his then-wife Christine, 35, noticed the symptoms.
He said: ‘In my experience, with something like depression, I was diagnosed as clinically depressed and I didn’t know it.
‘You can be as short as possible and it’s the people around you who tell you so.
‘So Christine and some of my family members would say things and ask me if I was okay and I was like ‘why do they always ask me that?’
“But obviously you can’t see it yourself, it’s in your head, it’s not like you have a limp where people can see it and you can see it.”
Clinical depression is low mood that lasts for days or months and affects your daily life, with symptoms including feeling hopeless and low self-esteem.
Paddy explained that he became increasingly frustrated and easily angered when he admitted that he began to resent his job.
He continued: “I started to resent being in front of a crowd of people and making them laugh because I used to think ‘it’s fine with you guys, but I go home feeling like this.’
“I’ve never been a person to lose my temper, but I could feel that in certain situations I would get nervous faster and I thought that was not me.”
“I wasn’t going around throwing cups at the wall and yelling, but I could feel myself getting angry right away and I shouldn’t be feeling that.”
