Paloma replied: "It's a question, not a statement."
Patrick said: "Okay good."
The Londoner made sure to state that she "doesn't think men are redundant".
She explained: "I really like men. I'm not here to man-bash. I just feel like there are certain things that I talk about in the book and in my life that's like... certain things, like initiative, that is lacking quite often.

"If you see the woman in your household do the same act every day, day after day, it means that that act needs to be done.
"And you shouldn't be asked to do it, because that's exhausting in itself, delegating what everyone does. You might as well just get on with it yourself, and then you get irritated, 'I'm doing everything', we say.

"And it's like, yeah, we are doing everything. So if you just see her do that thing every day, like make the kids pack lunch, just wake up half an hour earlier, make the kids pack lunch, and she will be so grateful, unfortunately, because I don't think she should be, because you should be doing it.
"But she will be so grateful just because it's so shocking to her that you've done it, and you get praised for stuff that we do, like, willy-nilly, without even thinking."

Paloma spoke about how she can juggle motherhood with her flourishing career and called out Patrick.
The 43-year-old said: "I literally have five careers, and I'm ordering the school uniform, I'm doing the school lunches, I'm thinking of everything, planning the Easter holidays, activities.
"Have you ever done that?"
Patrick paused for quite some time as the studio audience cheered and he finally replied: "I actually have."

Paloma questioned him further saying: "Really? What was it?"
The 54-year-old joked: "Well, you know, they normally come over, they're six and eight, so I normally bring them over to Dundrum for a few pints."
Paloma was left in stitches and replied: "No good!"

Eurovision bosses announce city to host the 2025 song contest
RTE's Irish delegation is set to travel to Vienna for next year's Eurovision as the host city is revealed. Austria's capital was selected by national broadcaster ORF and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) following a competitive bid process. The Grand Final will be staged at the Wiener Stadthalle on Saturday 16 May, with Semi-Finals on Tuesday 12 and Thursday 14 May. This will be the third time Vienna has welcomed Eurovision. The city first hosted in 1967 after Udo Jürgens' victory the year before, and again in 2015 following Conchita Wurst's win. Next year's contest comes after Austria's JJ triumphed in Basel this May with Wasted Love, securing the country's third Eurovision crown. Martin Green, Director of the Eurovision Song Contest, said Vienna's reputation as "one of the most musical cities in the world" and its central European location made it the ideal choice. He added that the Stadthalle proved to be an "exceptional venue" when it staged the 60th edition. Vienna's mayor Michael Ludwig said the city would ensure events around the contest are accessible to everyone, while Tourism Director Norbert Kettner described Eurovision and Vienna as a "perfect match". Eurovision has delivered significant boosts to recent host cities, with Liverpool, Malmö and Basel all reporting major gains in tourism and international profile. Further details on events, participating countries and ticket sales will be announced in the coming months. It comes after we revealed RTE spent €385,000 for two weeks in Basel, sending Norwegian singer Emmy to the Eurovision Song Contest in May of this year. The national broadcaster forked out €50,785 for a hotel for 19 people who were part of the delegation who travelled to Switzerland in May. Emmy failed to secure a place for Ireland in the final with her tune Laika Party. A Freedom of Information request revealed production costs amounted to €79,242, transportation costs totalled €1,407, while €7,503 was spent on economy flights Basel. The FOI showed a total of €2,538 was spent on 'representation', while 'subsistence costs' were €12,079. RTE said: 'The cost associated with Eurovision is two fold; one is to produce an act to represent Ireland in the biggest entertainment show in the world, to a standard that we can be proud of in front of an audience of 166 million viewers, the other is to provide over nine hours of live entertainment to an Irish audience who watch the competition in large numbers.
