The Traitors Ireland star Paudie Moloney has responded to BBC viewers in the UK complaining the Irish version of the show has “too much cursing”.
The inaugural season of the hit reality show aired in Ireland back in August and has recently started airing on BBC One in the UK, opening up Paudie and his fellow cast members to a whole new host of viewers.
However, some people have taken to social media to point out and complain that there is much more cursing in comparison to its UK counterpart.
Paudie has met many fans from the show in Ireland and says this has never been brought up to him.
He told RSVP Live: “You are in that castle, and you do forget the cameras are there.
“I know the odd f word and I’m well able to use it.
“To be honest, I haven’t heard one person ever [complain about it]. And I’ve met a lot of fans here in Ireland.
“Every person has said to me, ‘I really enjoyed Traitors’, and how it has brought younger and older people together – parents sitting down with their adult children to watch it.
“Never once did they ever mention there was a lot of cursing in it.”
When asked if it’s because people in the UK don’t curse on television as much, Paudie responded: “I don’t know, to be honest, because I don’t live over there.
“What I do know is that in this country, it’s probably part of our culture maybe? I don’t know.”
Paudie is aware he is currently on TV in the UK but hasn’t paid too much attention to people’s reactions as he is busy with Dancing With The Stars rehearsals.
“There is some bit of a difference in the Instagram,” he admitted.
“But am I looking to see? I’m not. I’ve a very hectic schedule with the dancing.”
However, he made time to watch the most recent UK series, which finished on BBC earlier this month and saw Co. Down woman Rachel Duffy win as a Traitor with Stephen Libby.
“I absolutely did see the series, I was thrilled with the finish,” Paudie said.
“I thought it was excellent.
“I have to say I admire Stephen and Rachel because they didn’t turn on each other.
“It was a really brilliant finish to an absolutely excellent series.”
Paudie has been supported by his Traitors castmates during his Dancing With The Stars journey.
He said: “Absolutely, I’ve had great contact with a lot of them through WhatsApp and Instagram.
“One man sent me a bill for all of the votes he gave me, so yes, they have been voting for me.”
Tonight on Dancing With The Stars it’s Dedicated Dance Week.
The remaining nine celebrities will dedicate their performances to a special person, or people, in their lives.
No one will be eliminated and the contestant who tops the public vote combined with the judges scores will gain immunity from the first dance-off the following week.
There will also be a special tribute paid to former judge Julian Benson, who passed away last April.
Paudie will dedicate his dance to his ten grandchildren, and dance a jive to Jailhouse Rock as a nod to his former career as a prison officer.
When asked what it means to be in Dedicated Dance Week, Paudie said: “It’s massive, to be honest.
“When I came into this show I had no expectations of myself, so I’m thrilled to have stayed as long as I have.
“Hopefully I can stay a bit longer, but obviously that is up to the public.
“I’m really looking forward to dedicating a dance to my grandkids.
“The oldest is 26 this year, so they have been a part of my life for a long, long time.
“I’m looking forward to doing this dance for them.”
Dancing With The Stars: Dedicated Dance Week airs tonight at 6.30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
