This Morning shaken by Paddy: the horseback fall and life-saving memory at 17 amaze the audience.
This Morning fans laughed, ‘this is golden’ when Paddy McGuinness tried out a unique hobby live on air.
Alison Hammond, 50, and Paddy, 51, presented Friday’s instalment of the ITV show and welcomed 15-year-old Maisie Scaddan, who is a competitive hobby horse rider, and her mother Molly.

‘Are you going to have a go?’ Alison asked Paddy.
While Alison continued to speak with Maisie and Molly, Paddy grabbed a hobby horse and began galloping in the background.
Maisie then demonstrated how the pair should tackle a course and they both began to trot around the set.
Then, Paddy tried to jump over a fence and impressively managed it, tucking his legs to the side as he went.
Some viewers were amused by Paddy’s attempt at riding a hobby horse and took to social media to share their thoughts.
One posted on X, ‘This is golden #ThisMorning,’ followed by laughing emojis.
Another quipped: ‘He is gonna br3ak his n3ck in a minute. God love Paddy Xx #thismorning #HobbyHorsing.’
Someone else penned: ‘OMFG.’

During the same instalment, Paddy opened up about a terrifying health scare that saw him rushed to hospital at only 17 years old.
Alison and Paddy were joined by journalist Rachel Johnson and Gyles Brandreth.
Alison started the conversation by saying that research has highlighted that doctors should trust parents’ gut instinct about their children’s health.
This led them all to share their own stories and views on the matter.
Paddy, who has presented the show three times this week while Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard are on half-term, said: ‘I don’t want to throw shade on doctors and nurses, because they do an amazing job…
‘A very similar thing, when I was about 17 I k33led 0ver in ag0ny, I didn’t know what it was.
‘I had really bad stomach pains. The doctor came to our house, he said: “Just give him these tablets” and left.’
Paddy’s dad decided to take matters into his own hands and took him to seek medical help because he knew his son wasn’t well.

He continued: ‘It was my dad who went “somethings not right”.
‘Took me to hospital… Within two hours, I was being operated on, I had a burst ulcer!’
A shocked Rachel asked: ‘An ulcer at 17?!’
‘Yeah, hereditary,’ Paddy told her.
‘Unbelievable,’ Alison added.
