Saint Paddy: first he comes to babe Nadine's rescue and then he cheers mate David
Thursday, March 20, 2008
Patrick Kielty has revealed he had a spat with Desperate Housewives star
Jesse Metcalfe over Nadine Coyle.
The cheeky Co Down comic - who admits Nadine is his favourite Girls Aloud
member - told how he came to her rescue after she had a bust-up with the
actor famous for playing a sexy gardener in the US show.
Patrick, who co-hosted BBC's Sport Relief on Friday night, said: "They
had an argument in a club one night and I ended up dropping her home, so he
wasn't that impressed with me.
"Then I bumped into them in this hotel foyer in Los Angeles and she was
like 'Hey Paddy, what are you doing here? I'm going to a wee party tonight
with Jesse, do you want to come?'
"And I said 'Yeah, where's the party?' and he kind of looked at me and
said 'It's just off Sunset but uh, you wouldn't know where that is'."
But the Ulster funnyman had a quickfire answer for the star.
"I used to go out to an aunt of mine in Los Angeles whenever I was 18
for the summers and I said 'Oh no, I do - I used to landscape garden out in
LA' - which I had done - but he just looked at me as if I was completely
taking the waz out of him because he was the landscape gardener!"
As well as rescuing Nadine, Patrick did his best to cheer up fellow comic
David Walliams last week, as our picture (above) shows.
The pals hit the town last Monday after newspaper revelations that the
Little Britain star was caught on CCTV cavorting with a stripper in a London
club.
But Patrick played the situation down.
"I was out with him the other night - he was in good form.
"I didn't think it was a story - he's a single man and he ended up in a
girly club. Big deal," he said on Chris Moyles' Radio One breakfast
show.
Patrick also revealed how he once challenged Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton to a
boxing match.
The pair went out after filming A Question of Sport for Sport Relief which
was aired on Friday.
Patrick said: "Here's how drunk I was, it's probably one of the most
embarrassing things I've ever done. We went out to a pub then we went to a
club then we went back to mine and at twenty to six I thought it was a
really good idea to stick the Wii on and I challenged him to a boxing match.
"He said 'Can we just play tennis?' which is the polite way of saying
'What a fool you are. Do you honestly think I'm going to let some drunk,
pasty white Irishman challenge me, Ricky Hatton, to a game of boxing on the
Wii?'"
