Paul, who is set to walk 6.25 miles today with one of his legs tied to a revolving cast of volunteers, spoke to BBC Radio Merseyside earlier.
He said: "We've got some celebrity guests coming down to do the walk with me, which I'm very excited about
"But I've also been told that the sponsors of St Helens, Cottoms Pies are coming down.
"That makes it all worthwhile, if I get a free pie."
