The Grand National 2022 is now well underway with racegoers celebrating being allowed to visit for the first time since 2019 and 'Paddy the Baddy' is amongst those at Aintree for the big day.
Each year, thousands of racegoers head to Aintree racecourse for a great day out. It seems only right that some stylish celebs want to get in on the fun, too. Liverpool is no stranger to high profile names, but the festival seems to attract more than ever.
Over the years many of the great and the good have been spotted at the Grand National. This year is no different, with Patrick Pimblett, better known as 'Paddy the Baddy', in attendance today.

The mixed martial artist from Huyton has been spotted at Aintree racecourse today, kitted out in a navy suit, white shirt and burgundy tie. Retired jockey Thomas Messenger shared a photo of himself and Paddy at the racecourse today.
He captioned the photo: “Me and the Baddy”. Paddy’s girlfriend, Laura Gregory, also shared photos on Instagram before the two headed off to Aintree together.
In the photos, Laura poses alone as well as with Paddy. Alongside the images, she wrote: “Racers with my Bae”. Other celebs spotted at Aintree racecourse today include former footballer Chris Kamara and X-Factor star Marcus Collins.
Paddy fights out of Next Generation MMA in the city centre and has established himself as one of the most exciting fighters in the UK. He made his UFC debut in September 2020 with a victory over Luigi Vendramini.
