All-Ireland spoofer Pat plays the game
HE is an experienced sports commentator but Pat Spillane is also a proficient spoofer. While holidaying with model daughter Cara, pictured, in Dubai, Pat deftly swatted off a determined pap keen to take a picture of the pair together. While the snapper was undeterred by polite refusal, Pat decided a little white lie would keep the pap from getting a snap.
Cara detailed the exchange on Instagram: ‘Sitting with my Dad at a tourist safari in Dubai. Photographer: Can I take some pics of you? Me: No, we are fine thank you. Photographer: Oh do I’ll give you good price. My Dad (gesturing at me): No we can’t, look I’m gonna tell you, this isn’t actually my wife.’
