Ant McPartlin has revealed an embarrassing moment when a masseuse walked in on him naked while he was getting changed before a Thai massage on holiday. The 50-year-old I'm a Celebrity host shared the story on the latest episode of the Belta Box podcast he hosts with Declan Donnelly.
McPartlin, who was on holiday with his wife Ann-Marie Corbett, explained that a friend had recommended a Thai massage parlour near where they were staying, but warned him that the staff come in quickly.
Awkward Massage Encounter
“But a friend of ours said, ‘Be careful, when you go there, they come in really quickly’. So I go in and I’m getting changed. The middle door slides open. My wife’s in this one, I’m in this one. She quickly whips the dress off, pops the paper knickers on, jumps on the bed,” McPartlin said.
He continued: “I take my clothes off, I struggle to kind of get all the buttons done on my shirt.” After several attempts, he became frustrated and pulled his top over his head. He then took off his trousers and underwear.
“So I’m leaning over the bed to get the paper knickers and inadvertently flick the paper knickers off the bed to the other side of the bed. And I’m naked and everything’s hanging out.”
Still naked, he tried to put on the paper knickers but ran out of time. “They land on the ground. I’m standing like this to put my leg in, my leg’s up. As I’m doing that, the door opens and [the masseuse] comes in. She can see everything and we just stare at each other for a bit too long. I went ‘not yet!'”
Golf Ball Incident
The anecdote came after Donnelly revealed that he accidentally hit McPartlin's stepdaughter's boyfriend with a golf ball. Donnelly explained that he hit a shot from 75 to 80 yards and misjudged it, hitting the boyfriend on the back of the head.
McPartlin said he heard about it when the boyfriend came home rubbing his head. “I heard about this when he got in last night with rubbing the back of his head in a lot of pain. Bless him. In a lot of pain. He said, 'It's all right. You hit the soft bit.'”
Donnelly admitted: “It didn't make the noise of the soft bit. It didn't. I felt and still feel so bad. I've never done that before.” McPartlin joked: “Should I go and check just to make sure, just 'Are you alive? Hello. Are you alive? Are you alive?'”
