Clodagh said: “She picked it up and she was like, ‘Who put this in the dishwasher?’

“And I was like [bleep] it’s me, no I’m going to get murdered.”

Vernon then cut in: “And obviously we apologise for your language.”

But Clodagh seemed confused as she said: “Oh did I just say… shoot?! I said shoot.”

Vernon added: “It doesn’t matter what you said.”
