Kate is a content creator and has been with Paul for over 11 years.
They welcomed their son Charlie in April 2022, and in April 2024, Paul recalled a cruel comment a midwife said at Charlie’s birth.
Paul, who took part in the second season of The Traitors in January, spoke about the incident in Lorraine.
He said: ‘When my wife gave birth it was very traumatic and we were in hospital for a week.
“One of the first things a nurse said to me was, ‘I bet you’re glad your son doesn’t have red hair,’ and it was the first time that really offended me.”
Paul also spoke about how being a redhead affected his childhood, saying: ‘From a very young age, I received constant insults.
‘Then there were the physical things like punches and kicks. The ginger thing isn’t taken seriously, it’s still considered fun.’
Paul became famous on the BBC show for his “Oscar-worthy” acting skills and for not being afraid to criticize his fellow contestants.
His actions during the show divided viewers, many of whom were desperate to see him discovered by the Faithful and banished, while others praised him for providing entertainment.
However, Paul almost failed to appear on the BBC show after suffering a life-threatening injury just weeks before the show began.

He explained to OK! magazine: ‘My lung collapsed. I was outside the ER, screaming and crying, and they were giving me morphine and CT scans and all that kind of stuff.
“I almost had an emergency operation to re-inflate my lung because it had become so depressed, and yeah, it was chaos.”
Paul then explained that there were complications regarding the painkillers he was taking due to his body’s reaction, so recovery wasn’t easy, but deep down he knew he had to get better before filming on The Traitors began. .
Paul admitted that it was difficult not to help out as much at home, especially with his son, and that the timing couldn’t have been worse as he was also starting a new job.
“All kinds of things happened, but I would have regretted it if I had retired (from Los Traidores).”
