Former *Take Me Out* contestant John Harris says host Paddy McGuinness was kind off-camera, easing pressure during filming.
A former contestant on ITV’s *Take Me Out*, John Harris, has revealed that host Paddy McGuinness was kind and approachable off-camera, contrasting with his energetic on-screen persona.
Harris, who appeared in 2011, said McGuinness made him feel comfortable during filming, helping guide contestants through the high-pressure environment.
The show, which aired for nearly a decade, paired men with 30 women, with successful matches leading to trips to the Canary Islands.
Harris noted the production involved bulk filming and that many contestants, including himself, joined for fun rather than romance.
His account offers a personal look at the show’s behind-the-scenes dynamics and McGuinness’s role in shaping the experience.
