She revealed her husband has been diagnosed with Shingles, after not knowing what the symptoms were.

the mum-of-two explained: “So, my husband’s got it at the moment and he didn’t know what the symptoms were.

“Or, he didn’t spot them. He actually thought he’d got fibreglass in his face.”

The 47-year-old explained that the Late Late Show host had been moving furniture in their house, which is currently under construction.

“He thought he’d touched his face. Because he got like this burning, tingling, stinging sensation,” she added.

Explaining the symptoms of Shingles to viewers, Dr Kayat said: “Firstly you tend to get this tingly, burning sensation.

“You may also notice you’re feeling more fatigued – you’ve got a headache, you’re tired. You might even have a bit of a temperature.

“A few days later you can start to develop a blotchy rash and then that develops into fluid-filled blisters, which start to crust over and scab away.”

Cat added: “They can be on the trunk of your body. [Patrick] has got them on his face, actually!”

Patrick is currently on a break from his RTÉ presenting duties as the Late Late Show has finished up for the season.
