The 'Top Gear' host made the grim admission that his feet had been inflicted with the condition - which can cause hardening and yellowing of the nails - on 'Loose Women' on Thursday (31.10.19), prompting grimaces from the panel.

But luckily for Paddy and his beautiful wife Christine McGuinness his toes are in tip-top condition now.

When asked about his favourite body part, Paddy said: "My toenails are alright at the minute. I used to have fungal toenails. I got them sorted and you can eat your dinner off them now."

The new series of 'Take Me Out' began last Saturday (26.10.19) and Paddy admits that he admires the men who appear on the first episode of the series.

He said: "The first episode of the series it's a tricky one for the lads sometimes, because the girls think 'Hang on, we've got eight more episodes here.' I always take my hat off to the boys on the first show."

Paddy, 46, has presented that dating show since 2010 and admits it never feels like work because he just loves presenting it.

He explained: "I still love doing it, that's the thing, if you have a job you love it's half the battle really."

Paddy revealed that he comes up with the catchphrases for the show with a writing partner. The duo came up with the famous 'no likey, no lighty.'

He said: "I write with a man called Les, I think everybody should have a friend called Les. He and I write catchphrases for every show."

Paddy also told the panel about how he fell victim to catfishing.

He recalled: "I was catfished on Instagram, at the minute I'm a water pipeline technician in Germany and he uses all my pictures and everything else.

"He's got 120 followers so he's doing alright. It gives you an idea of how many followers I'd have if I weren't on telly."
