The presenter received some heartwarming post

Impressed by their handiwork, a third fan remarked: "Beautiful birthday cards from your children Paddy" and a fourth added: "Those are the best type of cards!... So precious". 

And yesterday, the comedian shed a light on a rather unusual birthday celebration. To mark his 49th year, Paddy showed off his fitness levels by performing 49 impressive press-ups.

Documenting his milestone achievement, the dad-of-three captioned his post: "49 for 49 and feeling fine! Happy Birthday to all my fellow Leos!!!! Hope y'all have a wonderful Birthday. Did I mention it's my birthday today?"

Paddy and Christine share three children together

Paddy's upbeat appearance comes in the wake of his shock split from his wife of 11 years Christine McGuinness. Last month, the couple announced their decision to go their separate ways after 15 years together.

Announcing the news via Instagram, the duo candidly penned: "This was not an easy decision to make but we're moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children.

Christine and Paddy, 48, are proud parents to Penelope, nine, Felicity, six, and Leo, nine.
