Paddy McGuinness gives fans a first look at his new series Inside The Factory

INSIDE THE FACTORY fans have finally got their answer on the show’s future after Paddy McGuinness stepped in to replace Gregg Wallace.

The popular BBC series, which takes viewers behind the scenes of Britain's biggest production lines, faced uncertainty after Gregg’s shock departure – but now, the broadcaster has made a big decision.

Paddy McGuinness is rolling up his sleeves once again as Inside The Factory returns for a tenth series on BBC One and iPlayer.

The TV favourite, who took over from Gregg Wallace, will team up with Cherry Healey to lift the lid on the jaw-dropping machines and unsung heroes behind Britain’s biggest production lines.

From millions of chocolates wrapped at lightning speed to the mind-blowing process behind cheese curls and sausage rolls, the hit series is celebrating the UK’s manufacturing magic once more.

And for Paddy, it’s a real homecoming – last time around, he revisited the Warburtons bread factory in Bolton, where he once worked over 30 years ago!

Describing the full circle moment, Paddy said: “I drove in in this big heavy goods vehicle for the first shot.

“I thought: ‘I got my heavy goods licence doing Top Gear, now I'm driving into the place I used to work at 30-odd years ago, hosting another show for the BBC.’

“When I was that 16-year-old kid who used to walk to work with butties my mum had made me, who'd have thought all these years later, I'd have had all these amazing things go on in my life.

“It was one of those moments where I thought: ‘Bloody hell, life eh? It does have its twists and turns.’”;

It was confirmed thatPaddy had replaced Gregg Wallaceon the show last year.

Gregg, 60, had worked on the show for nine years but has faced controversy.

Flying Eze was told that Gregg was reported to BBC bosses after he was accused of taking his top off and boasting about his sex life to a woman on the show Impossible Celebrities in 2018.

Greggstepped back from co-hosting Masterchef after complaintsabout inappropriate behaviour over a number of years.

But he bitterly said the allegations come from a “handful of middle-class women of a certain age”.

Inside The Factory returns Tuesday 7th January at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
