Bolton comic Paddy McGuinness has become the latest star to wade into the Dominic Cummings row.

The Top Gear host poked fun at the Prime Minister's senior advisor, who made a 260-mile journey four days after the national lockdown came into force

Paddy posted a video on Twitter where he sang the words: "Is this the way to Barnard Castle? See my vision's a bit of a hassle.

"Is this way to Barnard Castle? Where sweet Mary waits for me," referencing Mr Cummings' wife Mary.

WARNING - VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE

It comes after a press conference at Downing Street on Monday in which Mr Cummings explained the circumstances surrounding his five-hour trip from London to self-isolate in a cottage on his father’s land in Durham in March.

Mr Cummings claimed he needed to be closer to members of his family who offered to look after his young child in case he and his wife become too ill with coronavirus.

But he has been accused of breaching lockdown rules by making a one-hour round trip in his car to “test his eyesight” before driving back to London.

Paddy posted the video on Twitter with the caption: "I’ve finally lost it in lockdown! #isthisthewaytobarnardcastle."

Fans suggested Paddy could release the song to raise money for the NHS.

Paddy later added: "Thanks for all your tweets regarding ‘Is This The Way To Barnard Castle’.

"Glad it pepped you up during these mad old times. If I’d known it was going to get nigh on 3 million views, I’d have put some mascara on my whiskers! Have a belter."
