Paddy McGuinness celebrates reaching Glasgow and completing his chopper quest.
BBC Paddy McGuinness beams as he finishes Children in Need cycle challenge that raised over £7m
BBC Radio 2 presenter Paddy McGuinness completed his 300 miles trek on a Chopper bike.
Paddy McGuinness was left beaming at the finish line of his huge Children in Need cycle challenge on Friday (November 15), which saw him trek 300 miles across the UK on a chopper bike.
The BBC Radio 2 presenter, who raised a mammoth £7.5 million as of 10am, wiped away tears as he said he 'can't believe it' after eventually crossing the finish line in East Kilbride five days after setting off.
The former Top Gear and host and funny man, 51, raised funds for Children in Need as he embarked on the mission from Wrexham to Glasgow.
He said: "Honestly I can’t believe it. I came out of East Kilbride, I was looking at Glasgow and it was lit up in sunshine. Then coming in here and the streets were lined. I had Sir Tom Hunter beside me and I came around the corner there... What a sight, what a feeling! Thank you so much everybody."
He told the BBC: "Every morning when I woke up everything was aching and it was always dark and cold but I've been saying it for the last few days, when you get on the bike, and you get on the road and everyone comes out it just spurs you on.
