Charity football match Soccer Aid 2021 is in chaos as Top Gear presenter Paddy McGuinness has been forced to pull out due to a leg injury.
Paddy, 48, is the second star forced to withdraw from the match in a matter of hours as Roman Kemp was “gutted” yesterday as he tested positive for Covid forcing him out of the match.
The TV funny-man took to Instagram to share with his 1.9 million followers the news that he has been forced to pull out of the match this year.
He said: “Gutted! For the first time ever I’m having to pull out of @socceraid due to injury.Tore my lateral meniscus and it’s not something that can be sorted with the magic sponge.” Paddy continued: “Good luck to both teams today and if you’ve got tickets you’re in for a great day.
