Paddy McGuinness sues over claims of restaurant stop during charity bike ride

Paddy McGuinness is suing the gossip website Popbitch over claims he stopped at a Michelin-starred restaurant during a charity bike ride for Children in Need. The website alleged he took a helicopter to L'Enclume in Cumbria. McGuinness, who raised £9 million for the charity, denies the allegations. His team stated he remained with his cycling group throughout the challenge, focusing on recovery and preparation for the next day. The legal action was initiated after Popbitch reported he was seen staying overnight in Cartmel. McGuinness is represented by the London law firm Carter-Ruck.
