Paddy McGuinness once almost burned down his home trying to save his porn collection.
The TV star, 48, previously recalled that he once found a stash of porn magazines and decided to bring them home.
However, there was a catch. The magazines were covered in petrol!
As a result, he decided the best option was to try and dry them back at home.
Paddy McGuinness ‘almost burned his house down’
“Someone was obviously about to burn them and got disturbed and just left them there,” he told the Daily Star. “How the hell am I going to get these dry? I know, I’ll put them in the airing cupboard, on top of the red-hot water tank, that’ll dry them out in no time. Genius!”
“The mags were a whisker away from setting the house on fire,” he explained. “My mum’s eyes were streaming and bloodshot. ‘Patrick, what’s that smell coming from your bedroom?’
