Inside The Factory has been a firm favourite with viewers after it made its debut on BBC Three since 2015.
The show followed former restaurateur Gregg, presenter Cherry Healey and historian Ruth Goodman as they looked at the production of our most iconic food.
They took a peek behind the scenes at how some of our shop products came to exist as we know them today.
Back in 2023, it was announced that Gregg would depart from the series as he decided to focus on his autistic son, Sid.
Now Paddy, has given his fans a behind the scenes peak at filming as he played a prank on Cherry.
Taking to Instagram, he posted a short video where he was dressed in a white apron and blue shower cap.
He hid behind a door in an office of one of the factories as he attempted to scare his co-star.
It didn’t exactly go to plan as he was left waiting for a long time before she eventually made her way into the meeting room.
However, Paddy confirmed when viewers can actually expect to see the new set of episodes in the caption of his post.
He captioned the post: “I committed to this for nigh on 10 minutes!!! Worth every second!
“Love you @cherryhealey. Brand new Inside The Factory starts Jan 2025.”
In May 2023, it was reported that the real reason Gregg, 58, stood down from his role was because he had ‘offended female staff’ with ‘inappropriate banter’ at one of the factories.
He commented on the situation during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.
Speaking to Richard Madeley and Kate Garraway, he explained: “I left. I have got a little boy called Sid who at the moment is non-verbal, he is still in nappies.
“He has got learning difficulties, I am an ambassador now for Ambitious about Autism, mum needed help there.
“There was an argument inside the factory, the reporting isn’t accurate. There was an issue, I thought that is the perfect time to come out. Offending people in the factory, no.”
He added: “There was an issue, I don’t want to discuss what the issue was but I thought that is a good time.”
