A BBC Radio 2 listener commenting on a recent broadcast of Paddy McGuinness‘ radio show complained that the Take Me Out star was “out of touch”.
In other news, Paddy once made an amusing revelation about a not-so-steamy intimate moment with his then-wife Christine. “Once bitten, twice, shy, that’s for sure. Let me tell you, it was like a ring of fire,” he said at the time.
And it’s clear he feels the same about his recent radio ‘mishap’…

Paddy McGuinness lambasted for ‘out of touch’ comments about sandwich ingredient
Comedian, actor and radio broadcaster Paddy McGuinness – on Celebrity Gogglebox tonight (July 13) – issued an apology to his audiences after sparking what he jokingly called a “controversy”.
The beef had to do with a particular sandwich ingredient. Beloved by many and possible to open without a can opener, Paddy!
He had claimed during a previous segment that the metal keys attached to the lids of corned beef cans, used to pry open the cans, don’t exist any more. At any rate, he hadn’t seen them “in forever”.
But listeners emphatically corrected him. They sent in their comments, one of which lambasted the Lancastrian for being “out of touch”.
One asked him to explain where he was seeing cans that don’t have the key attached, as they have only ever seen them with the part included.
Another said they had just opened 10 – one-zero – tins, all of which had come with the toggle.
