The TV presenter has endured a difficult year following the passing of his mum Mary and his high-profile split from wife Cat Deeley.

On both occasions, he thanked the Late Late audience for their support and kindness and says it feels good to have that relationship with viewers.

Patrick said: "From the get go with this show, the amount of people who have been in my corner and the goodwill that has come my way, there is definitely no other show in the world like it in terms of the relationship that you and your audience have with each other.
