When asked about whether he considered his points haul a greater life achievement than raising five children under the age of 6 with wife Jessica, O'Gara responded: “I wouldn’t be nervous getting up on Jessica but I would be nervous kicking a ball.”

The comment appeared to stun host Tubridy and was instantly picked up on by viewers.

Today, O'Gara took to Twitter from his current base in Paris, saying he had apologised to Jessica and that he was also sorry if he offended anyone else with what he described as a "very poor joke".
