Children in Need: Strictly, Outnumbered and Doctor Who stars appear in annual charity show
BBC Radio 2 presenter McGuinness appeared in the studio in Salford, fresh from completing his epic cycle ride which ended in Glasgow earlier in the day.
The former Top Gear and Question of Sport host, 51, had set off from Wrexham, almost 300 miles away, on Monday.
There were huge cheers from the audience when Olympic cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy turned up to reveal McGuinness’s final fundraising total during the main Children In Need TV broadcast.
“I am literally, underneath these clothes, it’s all Sellotape and safety pins,” said McGuinness.
The Bolton-born star has said he was motivated to take on the challenge by the people he had met who benefitted from projects funded by BBC Children in Need.
