Paddy McGuinness leaves fans divided with 'abomination' tea snap as he reunites with ex-Christine

Paddy McGuinness certainly knows how to divide the internet when it comes to food as it's not the first time his opinions on certain meals have got people talking. This time, it was the Top Gear host's chippy tea order that got a pride of place on his Instagram grid.

Bolton-born Paddy kicked off his weekend in classic takeaway style by ordering pie and chips from his local chip shop. And while that all sounds fine, it was his choice of accompaniments that rattled some while others were left in pure envy.

"Send it! Chips, pudding, beans and gravy with a buttered barm and a tub of curry sauce. Full s**g," Paddy captioned the photo of his meal of champions which he shared with his two million followers.

Fellow northerner Gemma Atkinson was among the first to respond. The pregnant Hits Radio host, from Bury, wrote: "Buttered barm and curry alone would suit me! Slab it on!" Meanwhile Liverpudlian hockey player and Question of Sport co-star Sam Quek replied: "Get out with those beans! Time and a place mate. Replaced with peas and your laughing!"

And when it came to his fans and followers, there were many elements to his meal that got them sharing their responses in the comments section. However, there was one thing in particular that people seemed universally against and that was the beans.
