Love Island host Patrick Kielty has landed himself in hot water after criticising Sheryl Gascoigne's parenting skills, the Daily Star claims today.
The Irishman was apparently warned about comments made on ITV2 spin-off show Aftersun when the topic of Bianca's behaviour in the shower with Leo Ihenacho was brought up.
Presenters Matt Brown and Jayne Middlemiss apologised to Sheryl, a guest on the show, for showing the footage, but Patrick said, "I'm not apologising. Why should we apologise? We're only showing the behaviour.
"You should apologise, not us. The way Mary Kielty brought me up you would not catch me in the shower... with Leo."
A show source revealed, "There were audible gasps from the presenters and the crew when Paddy started going off on one. It must be his strict Irish upbringing. But people on set were a bit shocked. Producers sat down with him after the show but Paddy has a strong mind. He'll say pretty much what he thinks straight away."
Sheryl told the newspaper, "What can I say about all this? I'm sure Patrick is paid to be controversial. But I am happy to take 50% of the responsibility - along with Leo's mum!"
