Paul O’Grady’s home invaded by bats

Paul O’Grady’s countryside home has been invaded by pipistrelle bats.

The 64-year-old presenter has found a colony of wild bats in the roof of his home in Aldington, Kent, and Paul has therefore dubbed his residence "The Addams Family mansion".

Appearing on Gaby Roslin’s Let’s Gab online talk show, he revealed: "It’s like the Addams Family at twilight. They all come flying out, all the bats.

"I’m standing there going, ‘Fly! Fly! Fly!’"

Paul has also found slugs and rats in his home, but he doesn’t mind the bats and lets them get up close to him despite their foul smell.

He explained: "They smell. That’s the only thing. They don’t bother me. We don’t really have much to do with each other. I go up once a week and get the rent, and that’s it.

"They’re sweet little things. When I was writing books, I would have my window open at night and a couple of them would fly in and land on the curtain. I would take them off and put them on my jumper."

However, the ‘Blind Date’ presenter was terrified to find rats had eaten through his wardrobe and waited with a baseball bat until pest control arrived.

He said: "It was like a horror film. I thought we were going to be eaten alive by killer slugs."

Meanwhile, Paul previously revealed he and his husband live with a ghost that leaves behind a scent of her favourite perfume to spook the household.

He said: "We’ve got one in our house because you smell her. You get this waft of perfume."

To make matter worse, Paul added: "I went to dinner with somebody and one of the people at the dinner, they said to me, ‘My friend is the granddaughter of the lady that used to live in your house’ and she said, ‘Can you smell the perfume?”

"And I said ‘yeah’ but we’ve all smelt it. It’s called Joy by Jean Pato and it’s very heavy but no, it’s not scary.

"Another thing you get a whiff of is home perm solution.

You get this whiff of that ammonia. It takes me back to me mother years ago, sat there with a plastic cape on having her hair done."
