Princess Kate’s uncle was ambushed with a question about her moments before he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight. But his light-hearted response won the humour of keen viewers.
Hosts of the ITVX show, AJ Odudu, 36, and Will Best, 39, asked: “The nation needs to know, will Kate be watching?” To which Gary Goldsmith, 58, replied: “If she is, it’ll be behind the sofa, I guess!”
Following on from the admission, the hosts probed again: “Which sofa though?”
The businessman retorted: “It’ll be a nice one in a nice house. I can guarantee that.”
Princess Kate is currently recovering from abdominal surgery – and it is not known if the mum-of-three will be tuning in. She was spotted out today for the first time in weeks in the front passenger seat of Carole Middleton’s 4×4.
Following Gary’s comments, one royal fan exclaimed: “Poor Catherine. As someone with an embarrassing (albeit lovable) uncle, I can relate.”
