Phillip went on to reveal Pat’s reaction to the news: “And she went, ‘Oh thank god, I thought you were going blind’!”
Confused by her response, the presenter recalled: “I said ‘What the hell do you mean? Why do you think I’m going blind?’
“She said, ‘Those things you’ve got in your eyes and I know you’ve been very sad recently’ and I said ‘No mum, no. No I’m not going blind’.”
In response to him coming out as gay, Phillip previously said his mum replied: “‘Oh ok, well I don’t care’.”
