Pat Sharp reveals unlikely hobby that leaves him totally relaxed
Former 'Fun House' presenter Pat Sharp has revealed he is an obsessive car washer and says nothing relaxes him more than cleaning his motor.
Pat Sharp is an obsessive car washer.
The 63-year-old radio DJ feels at his most relaxed when he is cleaning the dirt off his motor, and he has two special mitts that he uses – one to wash the paintwork and another to scrub the dirt from the wheels.
He said: “It's very therapeutic.
“I have a mitt. I got a mitt from Halfords. I bought two, actually, one for the wheels, one for the car so that I don't spread the dirt from the wheels onto the paintwork.
“It's really good fun. And you do feel better after it.”
The former 'Fun House' host – who lives with his wife Monica - says he can clean a car better than any professional car wash, because he takes his time and takes great care with the soap and suds.
Appearing on the 'Celebrity Catch Up' podcast, he said: “I do enjoy it. And if I do do it, I do it really, really well.
“It's way better than you would get at a car wash, where they literally just sort of go over it and then, ‘Oh, sorry, I missed a bit.’
“When winter comes and you keep looking at the weather and it's a bit rainy and then only half a day of sun and then another 10 days of rain, you just think, ‘I'll just leave it and leave it and leave it.’ I quite like it when it's really filthy as well. It looks a bit meaner, looks a bit more like the Batmobile in Gotham City. It's always raining there, isn't it, in the Batman films.”
