Chris Kent shares hilarious differences of parenting in Cork v London
Comedian Chris Kent has opened up on the differences of parenting in London versus Cork, admitting he 'didn't fit in' in the UK. The Cork man is married to Tipperary teacher Niamh, with the pair sharing two children. Though they are now based in Cork, the family did spend a period of time across the pond, where they lived in Saint Albans, just outside of London. Comedian Chris Kent has opened up on the differences of parenting in London compared to parenting in Cork, admitting he 'didn't fit in' in the UK. Pic: Late Late Show/ Instagram Appearing on Friday's Late Late Show, the comic recalled some slight differences in parenting styles in London versus Cork as he revealed he 'didn't fit in.' He explained: 'In the sort of mummy groups and all that, I was often the only dad there as well, and I speak like this and it's just a little bit different. 'You have to be so careful these days with kids and food and you can't share your kid's snacks with other people because allergies and all that, and I remember one day a little kid came over and tried to take a snack.' Chris recalled telling the youngster to check with their mum, before then asking the child's mum himself if he had any allergies. He said: 'She's like, 'No, no,' but she took the little bar and started reading the ingredients and she was like: 'Oh, no. Charlie, no, no, no.' 'I was like, 'Ye can have that; I'm after hoofing about nine of them into my young fella already, you may as well have that.'' Appearing on Friday's Late Late Show, the comic recalled some slight differences in parenting styles in London versus Cork as he revealed he 'didn't fit in.' Pic: Late Late Show/ Instagram On returning to Cork, he admitted that he did question if there would be any differences. 'There was a five-year-old's birthday party on my estate and one of the neighbours said, 'I think we should have a mocktail party for them.' For the children?' he detailed. 'I was like, 'I think it's a brilliant idea; I'll bring a bit of sherbet, we'll make it a no-caine party altogether.'' On returning to Cork, he admitted that he did question if there would be any differences. Pic: Late Late Show/ Instagram The clip was shared to the Late Late social pages with many taking to the comments in stitches over Chris' anecdote. One commented: 'We are certainly very different from the English.' Another added: 'Brilliant! No-caine party absolutely creased me.' Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald, actor Simon Pegg and singer turned podcaster Paloma Faith were also guests on Friday's Late Late Show. Music was provided by rapper KhakiKid, who has seen his song Date Nite blowing up across the country.

Experts warn of more alligator sightings as mating season starts, temperatures increase
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — April is the start of alligator mating season in Eastern North Carolina, which combined with warmer temperatures, means more active alligators. The mating season is typically from April to July. Eastern North Carolina is the northern-most part of the American Alligator Home Range, according to N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission District 2 Biologist Chris Kent. With more developments and construction popping up around the region, alligator sightings become more likely. 'Whenever a new development or property gets developed for commercial purposes, there always has to be stormwater retention ponds built to manage runoff and those ponds quickly become artificial habitat for alligators,' Kent said. In Kent's research, there are only a handful of cases where people have been bitten by alligators in the state in more than 50 years. Those were typically the result of a human feeding or provoking the animal. 'If you feed an animal like that, that animal is going to quickly lose its fear of humans and start approaching humans,' Kent said. 'That's not okay.' The best thing to do is not to feed alligators and give them their space. 'Be mindful of small children around any body of water in Eastern North Carolina and be very mindful of our pets, particularly dogs,' Kent said. If you see an alligator in an emergency situation such as one under a car or up against a house, you can call the 24/7 wildlife emergency number at 1-800-662-7137. An alligator in a nearby retention pond is not considered an emergency. Learn more at Alligator, American | NC Wildlife Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
