Paddy McGuinness’ apology after missing Bolton Endeavour charity gig
The Bolton-born comic and presenter was due to be in Bolton today for a fundraising event, featuring other big name comics to raise money for Endeavour, a charity which supports those affected by domestic abuse.
The sold out comedy show, held at Bolton Whites Hotel, also featured Justin Moorhouse and Colin Manford, alongside legend Mick Miller.
Unfortunately, Paddy got his dates mixed up, and instead sent a message and also shared the charity’s work with his 2.2 million followers.

In the video, Paddy said: “Hello everybody at the Endeavour Project in Bolton, so sorry I can’t be with you today.
“Gutted, my fault, got my diary mixed up, but it’s going to be an absolute belter.
“You’ve got Justin Moorhouse down there doing their comedy and Colin Manford, you’re going to have a belter.
“See you in the next couple one.”
He signed off by blowing a kiss.
Endeavour is a registered charity that works to support all those affected by domestic abuse and provides a range of services, community support, group work and counselling.
It was the first charity in the country to offer an in-house pet fostering service, allowing people to flee domestic households without having to abandon their animals.
