KATE Ferdinand has left husband Rio red-faced after revealing she sometimes has to scrub his skid marks from the toilet.
The former Towie star, 35, made the embarrassing confession during a hilarious discussion about living with men on their Blended podcast.
As the conversation turned to the messy habits of husbands, Kate listed the things she had struggled to get used to, including leaving belongings everywhere, eating habits and toilet etiquette.
But former Manchester United footballer Rio, 48, was quick to defend himself, insisting: “My toilet etiquette is impeccable.”
Kate wasn’t having any of it, however, and cheekily replied: “Sorry, we’re not going to get into it.”
When Rio continued to protest, she dropped the bombshell: “I have to scrub your skids sometimes with a brush.”
A horrified Rio immediately hit back: “That’s once in a blue moon. Oh my God. This is a liberty.”
He then insisted: “I do not,” before claiming Kate hadn’t even known when he went to the toilet until around two years ago.
Kate insisted she’d tried to spare Rio’s blushes, but the footie legend had only himself to blame after repeatedly pushing her to spill the dirty details.
The couple also revealed they have strict boundaries when it comes to bathroom privacy, with Rio admitting he panics if Kate tries to enter while he’s on the loo.
He joked: “If I’m on the toilet and she tries to walk in, there’s a big alarm goes off. I start shouting, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa.’”
The hilarious exchange comes after Kate recently admitted she sometimes fears her stepchildren “hate” her when they refuse to listen, while also revealing that she and Rio occasionally clash over how to handle their children’s emotions.
