Speaking into the camera, he raged: "Oh my days ... this kind of thing, come on. Be better.
"Two lots of lawyers they contacted, and two lots of lawyers said absolutely categorically this has never been done.
"No NDAs, no nothing. Me and Christine were talking about it this morning.
"It's ridiculous now. It's ruined our Sunday, the sun is shining.

"And then they've gone ahead with this. They said a friend of Christine has told them.
"Well, all Christine's friends have been to this house. I've made them cups of teas. So if you are a friend, if you do want to know anything, ask us direct. We'll tell you.
"You won't get paid for it. I'll tell you the truth. Have a lovely day, and you lot online be better.
"I don't want my kids reading rubbish like this. Have a good'un!"
The article stated Paddy ordered Christine to sign a non-disclosure agreement as a condition of their divorce.

A source said: "Christine will not be told what she can and can't say in the future. He gave an interview about their divorce, so can't she talk about things, too?
"The gloves are off. Catherine doesn't mess about – she has batted off NDA demands in the past. There's no reason she can't do it again."
It comes after Christine opened up to The Sun about her living arrangements with Paddy.
Eighteen months after calling time on their relationship, Paddy still shares a family home with the mother of his three kids.
She told us last month: "Patrick’s diary is busy, as it always is, so he very much dips in and out of the home, because he’s working away a lot.
“The same as when I was his wife, I’m there to support the children when he goes out to work – that’s how it is.
“When he comes back, that’s when I’ll try to put some of my work in."
Paddy expressed the same when discussing their new normal, telling us this week: “I am very protective of Christine and our children.
“The fact that we can still live together, we never argue and there’s no toxicity in the house, says it all really.
“We have separate bedrooms because we respect that we aren’t together any more but, whether we work it through or we don’t, what we do have is a really, really lovely family unit at home."
This follows the model hiring so-called “pitbull” divorce expert Catherine Bedford, the woman who helped Lisa Armstrong and Game Of Thrones star Sophie Turner following their acrimonious splits from Ant McPartlin and Joe Jonas respectively.
“Yep, we’re the Chris and Gwynnie of Cheshire,” he confirmed to The Sun.
“Just not as wealthy, and with fewer hit records and Hollywood films behind us.
“If you can do it like that, it’s the best way, there doesn’t need to be toxicity.
"There is more laughter and love in our house than arguments.

“The only time we have a slight disagreement is when lawyers are involved, when it comes to matters of divorce.
“The reality, though is that I don’t think either of us are in a rush to get a divorce.”
