Paddy McGuinness jokes 'where do I sign up?' in very cheeky chat with Mormon Wives stars as they tell him about their swingers lifestyle and risque 'Daddy' lip tattoo
Paddy McGuinness joked 'where do I sign up?' in a cheeky This Morning interview with Mormon Wives stars as they told him all about the cast's swingers lifestyle. Paddy, 51, joined Alison Hammond to present Friday's episode of the ITV chat show, which saw them chat to two stars from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives - Whitney Leavitt and Jessi Ngatikaura. The American Disney+ reality show, the second series of which came out earlier this month, follows a group of Utah-based Mormon mothers and TikTok influencers. The programme captured attention after cast member, Taylor Frankie Paul, went viral for admitting her husband and she had been swinging with other Mormon couples. But Paddy, who split from his wife and mother of his three children Christine in 2022 after 11 years of marriage, didn't appear dissuaded as he joked about joining the show and becoming a Mormon husband. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Reality star Whitney Leavitt pulled back her bottom lip to reveal the tattoo, which read 'Daddy' Seemingly referring to the so-called 'soft-swinging' scandal - with the term denoting romantic and sexual intimacy outside a partnership, without full intercourse - Paddy joked: 'Where do I sign up? I'm in!' As he thanked the guests for coming on the show, he then did a double fist pump. During the interview, Alison made it clear that Whitney and Jessi no not participate in the swinging lifestyle, clarifying: 'Let's be clear, Whitney and Jessi did not "soft swing".' Paddy then cheekily interjected, referring to other cast members who are swingers as he quipped: 'Doesn't make them bad people.' Alison agreed: 'No, it doesn't', before Jessi joked: 'Maybe next season!' Jessi - who left the faith several years ago but still features on the show due to her continuing links to Mormon family and friends - then explained some of the values of the religion. They include not having tattoos - but both women admitted they do actually have inkings themselves. Whitney revealed, 'I actually have one too but mine's hidden', gesturing to her mouth. Alison said, 'So naughty, you've got a tattoo in the mouth?', adding: 'You are the naughtiest Mormon wives!' Jessi, who encouraged Whitney to show off the ink, commented jokingly, 'You have like a hardcore tattoo', before adding: 'No, she's like a bad Mormon!' Whitney then pulled back her bottom lip to reveal the tattoo, which cheekily read 'Daddy'. Alison turned to her co-host Paddy to ask, 'Do you know what it says?', before he confirmed: 'I do, it says Daddy!' He then asked jokingly: 'Sorry, I just need to check, does that say Paddy?' as the studio descended into laughter. An amused Jessi quickly replied, 'Yes, it does, she's a fangirl', while Paddy responded: 'Oh, right, OK, it's meant to be!' The two Mormon wives explained another aspect of the faith means they are unable to drink coffee, as part of treating their body as a temple. They instead drink fizzy beverages, mixed with a variety of flavoured creams and syrups - and brought in their regular orders for Alison and Paddy to try. Both were very complimentary about the drinks, praising how delicious they were, with Alison saying lightly: 'Could I join the Mormon wives? How do I do it?' But Paddy interjected to say: 'More importantly, how do I become a Mormon husband? These are the main questions, how do we become a Mormon husband?' Jessi jokingly replied: 'You got to get married in the temple, you gotta move to Utah, go to BYU [Mormon-sponsored university in Utah], there's so many requirements.' Towards the end of the interview, Alison praised Jessi for being so open about the cosmetic surgery procedures she has undergone. 'You're so open Jessi, like I know you've had a little bit of surgery down below and you've had some surgery up above as well, you've had a breast reduction', she said. The reality star confirmed, 'Yeah, everywhere!', before Alison cheekily continued, turning to Paddy: 'Which you're not happy about are you?' A taken aback Paddy stuttered: 'Sorry, I came on the tail end of this, I was still thinking about... [a comment made just before about Whitney being a Great British Bake Off fan].' Jessi quipped, 'He's like, "I just heard breast, what?"' 'You're so open Jessi, like I know you've had a little bit of surgery down below and you've had some surgery up above as well, you've had a breast reduction', Alison said Jessi also noted that the very popular Mormon Wives reality show was only commissioned because of her co-star Taylor's frank admissions online about swinging - despite the sexually conservative reputation of Mormonism. She said: 'Well, I think Taylor was the one who originally came out with it because there were rumours going around about her and she's like, "I'm going to set the record straight", which thank God she did because we got a show so…!' Paddy's divorce from former model Christine, 37, was finalised last summer, following their split in 2022. The couple share three kids - ten-year-old twins, Penelope and Leo, and seven-year-old daughter Felicity - who are all autistic. Despite their split, they remain living under the same roof at their £2.5million family home in Cheshire for the sake of their young family. But earlier this year, MailOnline revealed Paddy had put their £6.5million Cheshire house up for sale. Christine had reportedly grown increasingly tired of cohabiting with Paddy, who was happy for the arrangement to continue. Christine had already flown to Ibiza to begin filming with the rest of the cast but told fans she was 'returning home to her family' after a change of heart Speaking about their split, Christine said: 'I've never spoken about the reasons for our divorce, and I don't know if I ever will. 'It was a difficult time. It wasn't something that, you know, I just decided to do overnight, or that we chose to do. 'We tried, and, yeah, there just, unfortunately, there was no repairing it, you know?' Christine also pulled out of her scheduled appearance on Celebs Go Dating earlier this month, revealing she felt it was 'too soon' for her to date so publicly following her divorce. Christine had already flown to Ibiza to begin filming the series with the rest of the cast but told fans she was 'returning home to her family' after having a change of heart. Revealing the news on Instagram at the start of this month, she said: 'I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention is brings is just too soon for me.' She added she may appear in the future though: 'They've said the door is always open for me which I'm so grateful but for now I'm returning home to my family.' This Morning is available to watch on ITV on weekdays at 10am and to stream on ITVX.

Welcome to Spicy Island – the ‘Disneyland for swingers' where Brits romp on sunbeds & are gifted X-rated ‘swag bags'
SLIPPING off her swimsuit, Amanda Leigh buzzes with anticipation as she steps into the swimming pool and edges towards a man she has just met. Moments later they lose their inhibitions and whilst they know they're not alone in the water, they start having sex as others watch. 9 It might sound like a high street curry house but Spicy Island is a top secret location off the coast of Croatia which certainly lives up to its name. Sex on balconies It's a far cry from your budget all inclusive package holiday on the Costa Del Sol as guests are expected to leave all their inhibitions at the door. Each year, hundreds of people flock there to experience two weeks of blistering sun and plenty of sex. It's a swingers paradise, a place where orgies on sun loungers beside the pool are the norm and watching exhibitionists have sex on balconies before breakfast is par for the course. It isn't for the fainthearted or the prudish. It was in the Spicy Island pool where Amanda, a professional dancer, met her partner Alex Christian, 44, last summer - and they're now counting down the weeks until their next trip - but this time as a couple - in June. And Amanda has high hopes for their stay. She says: 'Last year I met Alex and this year we're ready to open our relationship up. 'I want to fulfil the 'hot wife' fantasy and I'm looking forward to exploring this further. 'You're on an island where anything goes but at the same time it feels incredibly safe – absolutely nothing happens without explicit consent. 'It's like a Disneyland for swingers, with anything and everything on offer.' Amanda first got into the swinging scene ten years ago whilst working as a dancer in an adults-only resort in Mexico. She heard about Spicy Island last year when she was introduced to the organisers at a swinging event and after becoming fascinated, she booked a ticket. I'm a Mormon wife and 'soft swinger' but I fear being thrown out of the church The two-week event is organised by a company called Spicy Match, who take over the island entirely to accommodate their 600 guests. Tickets aren't cheap - it costs between £1,000 for a bell tent up to £2,500 for a sun lodge with two bedrooms and bathrooms as well as a lounge. 'Hot wife' fantasy Amanda stayed for the full fortnight last summer after 'playing' with singles and couples on the swinging scene previously. 'Last year I was planning a 'hot girl summer' – imagining all sorts of group interactions,' she says. 'Spicy Island is one of the best parties imaginable. 'The event is held at a secret location – you only find out where it is exactly when you board the boat from the port on the mainland.' What is Swinging? SWINGING, also known as partner swapping, is a sexual activity where partners in a committed relationship engage in sexual activities with other people. All parties involved must give explicit and enthusiastic consent. Open and honest communication between partners is crucial. Many swingers engage with a community or attend events specifically for swinging. Such activity can enhance intimacy and trust within the primary relationship. It provides an opportunity to explore sexual fantasies and desires. But it is not suitable for every relationship and requires a strong foundation of trust. Jealousy and emotional challenges may arise and need to be managed. It was on the hour-long boat transfer where Amanda, who splits her time between Europe and Canada working as a dancer, first set eyes on Alex, a spa technician. She is completely unabashed about revealing what happened next on the wild isle nestled in the Med, an area which is a hotspot for regular holidaymakers. 'I couldn't get over how hot Alex was,' she recalls. 'We started flirting then and there and by the third night we got together while skinny dipping in the pool. 'The sex was incredible – it was very liberating as we were also able to make love on the beach at sunset, with no fear of getting into trouble. 'And we enjoyed being able to get it on in front of other people as I'm an exhibitionist. 'We couldn't get enough of each other so ended up not playing with anyone else – which is fine too – there's absolutely no pressure to take part in group sex.' As well as brunch and an evening meal included in the ticket price, guests enjoy a jam-packed and somewhat eccentric entertainment package. It ranges from exotic dancers and fire-eaters to sex seminars where attendees learn how to achieve multiple orgasms and soak up valuable tips on how to take care of erotic latex outfits. The event, now in its third year, draws hundreds of Brits as well as others from places as diverse as Israel, Malta, Ukraine and America. Some fly there on private jets whilst others arrive in Croatia on regular package holiday flights from the UK before jumping on the boat to the island. Swag bag of condoms Elsewhere in Croatia, tourists can be fined up to €700 (£585) on the spot in Split and Dubrovnik for inappropriate behaviour. This includes using drugs and drinking alcohol in public spaces, vomiting in public and walking around in swimwear. Holidaymakers can also be fined for removing shells from beaches. However, the small, top secret Spicy Island which is usually enjoyed by regular tourists the rest of the year, appears to be governed by its own sets of rules. On arrival, guests are handed a 'swag bag' of essential items including condoms and wristbands to distinguish them from staff. The rules are quickly laid out - taking photos and videos of other guests is banned and while nudity is permitted everywhere else, swimwear must be worn in dining areas and at the reception. The 'play area' is where much of the action takes place. It's divided into sections – one where couples play, another where they can find singles and there's a different area used solely for BDSM. The play tent - which is staffed by stewards who hand out towels and extra condoms - is so popular couples queue for a vacant bed. 'People have a view of the lifestyle, thinking swingers are gross or glorified cheaters. But it couldn't be further from the truth,' says Amanda. 'It's all about consent and communication with your partner. 'So we're all very conscious of having safe sex and personal hygiene. 'You are completely free from unwanted advances, there's no expectations or pressure like you'd see at a standard night club on a Friday night.' The island attracts swingers of all ages and retired couple James and Katherine Gordon, both 55, from Ashford in Kent, are regulars - and well versed in the scene. They've stayed on Spicy Island twice and Katherine admitted she loves holidaying there because James can't keep up with her wild desires. The couple, who have tickets for this year's event, got together at 17 and started swinging a year later. Katherine says: 'We've been to swingers events everywhere in the world and the island is one of the best there is. 'We're so experienced that we have no embarrassment, we'll introduce ourselves with our boundaries. We'll literally say 'we're into full swapping and single men but no anal!' 'You end up meeting people in all sorts of ways. We start chatting on the Spicy Island forum the organisers set up before we fly out to Croatia and might suggest meeting up for dinner in the port town before we head for the island. 'Last year, 40 of us ended up having dinner together the night before we left, so you start making connections before you arrive.' Katherine continues: 'The meals on the island are communal, so we sit down next to people we think we'll have something in common with. 'You flirt in the same way as you would in a normal bar or club to see if someone's interested in taking it further. 'I have a penchant for men in their mid-20s and will happily approach them to join us. James is very happy to outsource, joking he gets s**gged out now he's older! 'It's weird as I'm very shy in real life but something about swinging brings out a different side to me.' The couple booked into a two-bedroom sun lodge for the fortnight and they allocated one room for sleep and one for 'play' rather than using the communal areas. 'We prefer using our own space, it's just more us,' says Katherine. 'It's all there if you want it' 'But it's not only the swinging, it's the socialising we enjoy. After 30 years of being on the swinging scene we have met lots of friends who we also see on Spicy Island. 'It's the least judgemental place in the world. You can walk to breakfast and see people having sex on their verandas, or there can be ten or 20 couples making out on a double bed. But equally someone can be sitting quietly reading their book.' Personal trainer Katie Jones, 38, and her husband Simon, 49, who works in event management are longing for their second trip to Spicy Island this summer. The couple from Hitchin in Hertfordshire have been together for nine years after meeting online and became involved in swinging gradually. It was when they were on holiday in the French naturist resort of Cap d'Adge in 2023 that they heard about Spicy Island and visited for the first time last year. Whilst most couples expect more intimacy on holiday, Katie and Simon love taking it to a whole new level. Katie says: 'We loved being able to swim naked and sunbathe naked. 'We made lots of connections and ended up playing with two other couples - though a lot of the fun is witnessing your partner having pleasure. 'You can go to a secluded part of the island if you want some peace or join in with the crowds at the parties and the pool - there's an amazing energy.' Surprisingly, given the 'anything goes' vibe on Spicy Island boozing is sparse. Katie says: 'People don't tend to get too drunk as they're there for sex and alcohol doesn't help with that. 'It's just a very chilled out and very freeing environment – if people are curious they can come and see what they find. 'You don't have to swing but it's all there if you want it!'

Police officer visited swinger while on duty
A former police officer had sex with a woman he met on a swingers' website while on duty. PC Stuart Greaney would have been sacked had he not already resigned, said a Hertfordshire Police misconduct panel. The officer admitted knowing the woman and going to her home but denied having sex with her. However, the panel found the woman was telling the truth and there was enough evidence to believe the meeting had taken place as alleged. The officer joined the Metropolitan Police in March 2009 and transferred to Hertfordshire Constabulary in December 2022. He met a woman referred to by the panel as 'Ms A' on a swingers' website. Following an exchange of messages he drove to her address on 16 June 2023 using his police motorcycle and wearing his police uniform. Mr Greaney met Ms A at about 14:24 BST, more than 30 minutes before his shift was finished. The panel said once there he engaged in consensual intercourse with the woman, despite being on duty, and was at the address for about 20 minutes. Ms A told the panel she felt "used and angry" when he stopped visiting her and seemingly sought out other women on the site. Exactly a year after their meeting, 16 June 2024, Mr Greaney left the force and did not engage with the disciplinary process. The panel concluded he had committed gross misconduct and his name was added to the police barring list, meaning he can never again work in policing.

Seeing my husband have sex with other women turns me on – friends have disowned me, but I don't care
SITTING at the kitchen table, Amie Southwell happily supervises her three young children as they eat their lunch. Later, after taking their two dogs for a walk near her home outside Bath, Wiltshire, she settles in front of the TV to watch a film. 7 7 On the surface, she looks like any other suburban housewife – except that Amie's husband of eleven years, Lee, is nowhere to be seen. While Amie cares for their children, Lee is getting his kicks half an hour's drive away from their three-bedroomed semi, having steamy sex with a 34-year-old mum. While most women would feel sickened at the thought of their husbands straying, Lee's extramarital romp has Amie's full blessing. The couple had in fact met the woman through a swinger's website three months earlier. You'd be forgiven for thinking we'd travelled back in time to the 1970s, when 'swinging' was as in vogue as flares and disco. But having sex with multiple partners is suddenly on the rise again, and Amie and Lee are one of a growing number of couples turning their backs on traditional, monogamous relationships. After discovering a website dedicated to swapping partners in 2021, they are now part of a group of around ten couples that meet regularly – either at each other's houses, or during adult-only weekends at holiday parks. Lee has slept with around 20 other women since their marriage became open, while Amie, who is bisexual, has had sex with 20 men and ten women. And they are not alone, as according to research by dating app Hinge, one in five users 'would consider' trying out an open relationship, while one in ten have already been involved in one. Although you'd expect Amie to live in fear of friends or family finding out, she and Lee are surprisingly open about their swinging sessions. Inside world's 'swinging capital' where 40-women orgies take over X-rated nightclubs & daring couples enjoy secret sand dune romps on nude beach Even their mums know about their unconventional lifestyle and, incredibly, agree to babysit the kids while they play out their fantasies. Amie says: 'The woman Lee has sex with was someone we'd previously played with as a couple, alongside her husband. 'I suggested it, as a few weeks earlier I'd experimented with having sex on my own with a single man we met on the website. 'Lee found it a turn on, and it seemed only fair that he should try playing on his own too.' We were a straight-laced, pretty ordinary couple who liked routine and only managed to get out once a month for dinner Amie Amie seems as shocked as anyone by the surprising changes in her marriage dynamic. 'If someone had told me on my wedding day that I'd willingly share my husband with other women, I'd have thought they were mad,' she admits. 'I thought Lee was the only man I'd ever want to sleep with and I couldn't have imagined him with anyone else. 'We were a straight-laced, pretty ordinary couple who liked routine and only managed to get out once a month for dinner.' Amie says letting Lee have sex with other women is the best thing she ever did, not least because it's allowed her to explore, too. 'I went to a female-only sex party at an Airbnb in Shoreditch, London, a few weeks ago, while Lee stayed at home with the children,' she says. 'We played a few games before people went off and did their thing. I ended up in a group with five other women.' 'Felt paranoid' According to the latest figures, 33 per cent of men and 11 per cent of women are now open to introducing a third person into their relationship and over a million Brits admit to regularly enjoying group sex. It was Amie, who works part-time in customer services, who first broached the idea of swinging with construction worker Lee. 'I confided that I would like to have sex with another woman,' she says. 7 'I'd been curious for a while, but squashed it as I thought that it might open a can of worms. 'But Lee liked the idea.' Two months later, they heard about a sex party event through a website they'd stumbled across. Despite their initial nerves, the reality exceeded their desires. There was another unexpected benefit, too. 'I used to be paranoid that Lee would cheat, or leave me,' says Amie, who got together with Lee when he was just 17 and she was 18. 'But seeing him with other women and the pleasure we both now have has completely removed that fear.' Amie first became anxious that Lee might stray a few months after they got together in 2009. One day, after he had gone to bed, Lee's phone lit up with a message from another woman. 'He swore it was nothing and that he loved me, so I forgave him,' says Amie. 'But if he went out, I'd text him constantly – sometimes up to 30 times a night – asking what he was doing. And I'd check his phone daily. 'I felt paranoid and my mind would race. There were times when, if I hadn't got young children, I'd have jumped in the car to find him if he hadn't replied to my messages. 'I felt out of control, but couldn't stop. It was exhausting. 'I hated it if he spoke to other women, even if I was there, and would join them so they knew he was taken.' However, Amie has now been happily sharing her husband with other women since their first sex party nearly four years ago. 'There were about 12 other people there that night and I slept with four men, including Lee,' she says. 'He had sex with one woman and enjoyed foreplay with a few others. 'I couldn't believe how sexy I found it watching Lee pleasure them. I felt proud of him.' While many women would recoil at the thought of being intimate with a man who had just had sex with someone else, Amie says Lee being with another woman only increases the lust between them. 'Huge turn on' 'I actively enjoy watching him give a woman pleasure,' she says. 'It's a huge turn on and the sex we have immediately after is incredible – the best ever.' Amie admits their parental responsibilities mean they can't fulfil their desires as often as they'd like. 'The kids all go to clubs, so it's hard logistically to do as much as we'd like, so we ask our mums to babysit around once a month,' she says. 'They both know what we do – we feel no need to hide it. I've told friends, too. 'Some disapprove and don't talk to me anymore, but I don't feel the loss. Others are curious.' Amie says that as the children are still young, she doesn't worry about them hearing negative gossip. When they're older, she wants them to have open minds about the sort of lives they choose to lead. 'In the same way as we'd talk about being bisexual, we'd mention non-monogamy – after all, it's made us so happy,' she says. The couple now spend a weekend away each month, which Amie says is ' full of pleasure and adult time '. She adds: 'The other day we were with another couple and Lee played with the woman while I was with the man in a separate room – we could all hear each other's pleasure and that was another huge turn on. 'But we both agree that being with another couple together is what we enjoy the most.' She even believes that other couples might benefit if they gave extramarital sex sessions a go. 'I want people to open their eyes to another sort of relationship – one like ours,' she says. 'Now, I can't imagine our lives any other way.' Lee says: 'Seeing Amie with another man is hot and we both enjoy our new lifestyle. 'It's not only the sex with other people, but the fact we now communicate more. It's made us more honest with each other about everything. 'Amie really struggled with jealousy and it was exhausting. It tainted nights out as I'd be worrying about being questioned afterwards. 'The turnaround in her has been incredible and improved our relationship.' 7 What is an open relationship? An open relationship means having more than one sexual partner at the same time. Both parties in the relationship agree to be non-exclusive and one or both parties engages in sexual activities outside the relationship. If one or both parties engage in sexual relationships without an agreement, this would be classed as cheating. Other names for an open relationship are polyamory and consensual non-monogamy.
