He said: "My heart I think... I had a heart attack last night. My breathing keeps being difficult. It's like a horse sitting on your chest."

Paddy has shared another video on the social media platform and promised to change his lifestyle following the health scare as he hadn't been "respecting" his wife and family. He said: "I wouldn’t say I’m great, but I’m getting there. I will be back stronger.
“I’ve got to stop drinking, stop messing about, and enjoy my life the way I was enjoying my life. A lot of people do things in life they shouldn’t do."
Paddy also thanked the NHS and revealed he was feeling "ten times" better. He added: "I look better now, shaved, brushed teeth.
"Imagine two days in the hallway, it was not just me there was a rake of people here. To see them stuck in a corridor. One man was pulling the blankets off, bless him he didn't know.
"I kept saying you've got to cover up. We haven't got the safe facilities for him. Then the man wanted the toilet but there wasn't anything for him in the hallway. The sad thing about it, two days. It was like a traffic zone!
"They get no breather and no thanks. The NHS are god's angels; they fight for what they are doing with their heart and soul. Without them the world wouldn't even survive."
