ildr Paddy's Hoy spirits

Chris lifts star as he pedals through Scotland

- JOHN DINGWALL

PADDY McGuinness got an inspirational surprise yesterday as cycling legend Sir Chris Hoy joined him on his charity ride.

The TV host is riding from Wrexham to Glasgow on a Chopper bike for Children in Need and will complete his challenge at BBC Scotland's headquarters in Glasgow this morning.

Sir Chris is terminally ill with cancer but turned up during the Ecclefechan to Strathaven leg and told him: "I'm not going to be pushing you too hard."
