Advertisement 3 Carl made a parenting confession Credit: Instagram 3 Aisling was in fits of laughter at Carl's admission Credit: Instagram Carl and Aisling recently launched their very own podcast called How Are Ya Lovie?. On the most recent episode, the dad-of-three wanted to get something off his chest that he had been holding in for years. Speaking to Aisling, he said: "Can I tell you something now that I've never told you before? "It was during Covid when Davy was born. So you were all washing your bloody shopping and everything and wiping it all down." Advertisement Carl then revealed that he "opened the wrong pack" of wipes and instead of using baby wipes on his son, he used an antibacterial one when changing his nappy. Aisling remarked: "No wonder why his skin is so sensitive." Carl explained how stressed it made him saying: "No and in fairness I remember the next day his a** was red raw and I was so afraid to tell you. "I was like she's gonna kick my a**. She's going to absolutely kill me'. Advertisement "And every day you'd call my name, I was like 'She's found out, she's figured it out. I don't know how but she's figured it out'."
