Top Gear presenter Paddy McGuinness was once caught having sex in a company car, leading to him being banned from ‘driving duties’.
Before rising to fame as the charming matchmaker on ITV’s Take Me Out, Paddy was working for a plant machinery supplier in England.
The comedian is now a well-respected TV presenter, but he likely wasn’t held in the same high regard in his previous job, as the boss caught him with his trousers down in a Vauxhall Astra owned by the firm.
According to The Sun, the 48-year-old comedian writes in his new book My Lifey: ‘We had the seats back, mid-bonk, when the area manager drove past us.’
‘I got into a bit of trouble for that’, he admitted. ‘I was off driving duties for a while.’
Paddy eventually gained the boss’s trust back, and after his driving ban expired, was given the keys to the company’s blue Peugeot and allowed back on butty run duty – possibly the most important job of all.

Paddy is now married to Christine McGuiness, 33, with the couple having recently celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary.
They share three children together: twins Leo and Penelope, eight, and five-year-old Felicity.
The newest revelation from Paddy on his old escapades comes just days after he revealed another cheeky titbit from his book: that he reportedly got up close and personal with Prince Harry in 2016, and the pair of them shared a kiss.
Paddy actually believes he may have been the last person to kiss the Royal before he got married to Meghan Markle, who he met just a few weeks after allegedly kissing the TV presenter.

As Paddy describes the kiss with Harry in the upcoming book: ‘To say we were dancing close was an understatement – our chests were touching.
‘He asked me again if I could send him to Fernando’s. He then proceeded to take my shirt off. So now I’m topless, a bottle of beer in each hand, dancing with Prince Harry.’
After downing a round of Jagerbombs – courtesy of the royal himself – Paddy claims the pair then locked lips.
He wrote: ‘We finished dancing and while everyone was cheering, we embraced and he gave me a smacker on the lips.’

It’s clear Harry was a big fan of Take Me Out, which ran for 10 years but was cancelled in 2020.
The Royal never made it to the Isle of Fernando however, and considering he is now married with two children – Archie, two, and Lillibet, four months – he probably never will.
Metro.co.uk has reached out to reps for Paddy for comment.
