An onlooker told The Sun newspaper: “He obviously meant absolutely nothing by it. I’d have thought that she got called Pat all the time to be honest, she was on the telly for years.”

“She needs to calm down a bit, maybe she’d had a long day – but the poor guy who asked her looked pretty upset, I thought he might cry.”
