'Everyone has got an opinion on everything', Top Gear host Paddy McGuinness opens up about social media trolls

As the new season of Top Gear premiered, Host Paddy McGuinness was back on television. However, broadcaster Paddy McGuinness confesses he is weary of being attacked by internet trolls who 'have an opinion on everything.' For years, the 49-year-old has been subjected to internet abuse.

When he took over as host of Top Gear in 2019, he received a lot of criticism. A similar incident happened when he took over as host of Question of Sport from Sue Barker in 2021.





Even the breakdown of his marriage to Christine earlier this year has been a topic of discussion. Paddy expressed that he dislikes the constant need for people to express their thoughts. He claims that on any social media platform, everyone has an opinion.

He said, 'If you look at any kind of social media, everyone has got an opinion. Everyone had an opinion when we took over Top Gear, everyone had an opinion when Question of Sport changed. And back in the day, everyone had an opinion when the host changed on X Factor. These days, everyone has an opinion on Strictly.
“Everyone has got an opinion on everything. And the thing is these days, everyone likes to share that opinion.'


Paddy McGuinness has been on Instagram and Twitter for a few years now, posting about his life to his two million followers.
