Paddy McGuinness has responded to romance rumours regarding his Inside the Factor co-star Cherry Healey.
The presenter has sparked speculation that he is romantically involved with Cherry, with whom he has presented the BBC show since joining last year.
After posting a series of sweet photographs together on Instagram, Paddy wrote: "The whole crew on Inside The Factory have been a joy to work with. A small but perfectly formed team.

"Also I’d never met @cherryhealey before but we hit it off straight away. Absolutely love working with her, she’s an absolute diamond! The new series starts Tuesday 7th on BBC1 & @bbciplayer."
Many took to the comments to question whether the two were an item, one writing: "Is this a soft launch of the new Mrs?", while another added: "Ooh I’m liking this new lady Paddy? You look cute together."

The presenter was confirmed to be joining Inside the Factory in 2023 following the exit of Gregg Wallace, with his first episode airing over the Christmas period in 2024 before continuing this week.
"One of my first jobs was in a factory so I've come full circle," Paddy previously said of joining the show. "I'm fascinated by the machinery and the people who make it all tick. Hair nets aside, I can't wait to get cracking!"
Inside the Factory airs on BBC One, while episodes are also available to watch on BBC iPlayer and UKTV Play.
