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".

"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!"

At the time, But on Monday night, Harry appeared delighted to have been named the guy who - together with four other male footballers - had slept with 11 female footie players. READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND Fans were also furious at him for secretly rigging the Got The Receipts game so some of the boys could kiss the girls they wanted, rather than play properly. Taking to X, one furious fan raged: "Harry is such a hypocrite b/c how did he call Helena out for her stuff but yet in the challenge he literally did things with the women's football team. Like really." Another added: "Harry is such a hypocrite?? Judging Helena for being a 'party girl' yet he has had an orgy with an entire football team?? What else is harry hiding?
