"Bear in mind it was probably about 2 o’clock in the morning because they’d had a lock-in."
"He went home, set his alarm for five, got up, went to the airport, flew from Belfast to London, then jumped on the first plane from London to LA, got in a cab, told the cabbie on his way from the airport what he was doing, and the driver was literally like 'do you want me to wait for you?!'"
Patrick later told Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes, "If we had got together at the start, we could have got on one another’s nerves. All things came at the right time."
