PADDY McGuinness has pledged to get a special tattoo if his Children in Need fundraiser surpasses £10 million.
After completing the five-day 300-mile cycling challenge from Wrexham to Glasgow on Friday (November 15), fundraising star Paddy spoke to BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show host Zoe Ball this morning pledging to get a permanent reminder of his tremendous efforts.
He said: “If we together get to £10million on this challenge, I’m getting Patch tattooed. I just thought of it, but I'm already regretting saying that."
Patch, the yellow Chopper bike, took Paddy from Wrexham to Glasgow last week, starting at Wrexham AFC's Stok Cae Ras. He has now raised £9.25 million for the cause as revealed on this morning's show, with donations still piling in.

Paddy was shown a tremendous level of support from thousands who lined the streets of their home towns to cheer him on.
His incredible journey will be shown in a documentary 'Paddy: The Ride of My Life' to air on BBC1 tomorrow night at 8pm (November 19).
Despite admitting that he remains completely numb, Paddy is delighted with his achievement, as are his twins Leo and Penelope, aged 11, and Felicity, aged 8.
Will he hit £10 million? We think his pledge might just make sure it happens.
