Pat said: 'People think I was there for 11 years of my life doing that show, but I actually only made Fun House for 11 weeks of my life'.
'I did one week a year, I took a week off Capital Radio, went to Glasgow for ITV and we made the whole series in seven days.
Adding: 'So I have only ever made 10 weeks of my life making Fun House'.
Pat also recalled how his memorable mullet was often be the butt of the young contestants' jokes, but said when the cameras began rolling they were quick to change their tunes.
'The kids were quite mouthy in rehearsals and were quite good at going "ugh look at your hair, you look silly"'.
'But when it came to filming they were really quiet and waiting for instructions because they were on TV and it was a different ball game'.
Pat also revealed that he's still close with Fun House's resident cheerleading twins Melanie and Martina Grant.
