PADDY McGuinness has slammed a group of “cowboy” builders, calling their work on his artificial garden a “job gone wrong”.
The TV star has called out the company who fitted the lawn after it slowly became overgrown with weeds.

Despite it having been “brilliant” for the past “year or two”, the 52-year-old said it had now been taken over by weeds which have crept through the surface.
Filming his own furious rant, Paddy showcased the extent of the weed growth, with more than 20 separate weeds visible in the clip.
He said the weeds had begun to creep through around five months ago but had spread to almost all stretches of the artificial garden.
A large number of the weeds shown in the clip appear to have grown in the space at the edge of the artificial turf and the tiling slabs that surround it.

The star also slammed various discoloured patches and hollow bits around the edge, saying: “Job’s gone wrong.”
Paddy said he attempted to get back in touch with the company but claimed they did not respond to phone calls or emails he sent.
The infuriated TV star even labelled the workers as “f***ing cowboys” in the clip from yesterday.
A frustrated Paddy said in the video: “Why’s everyone out to shaft you.
“Can no one just offer a service and it be right?
“Listen, if you’ve used a company who lay these kind of lawns and you’re happy with it, let me know.
“I don’t want to put it down again if it’s going to be screwed in another year or two and changing colour and weeds everywhere and dips in it and all that pony.”
He added: “Please someone, I don’t want it for nothing, do not want it for nothing, no tagging in, get in touch.
“I’ll pay you, do a fantastic job and be gone and let me know how to do the upkeep.”
This comes after the show Paddy and Chris: Road Trippin’ – starring the TV icon and his former Top Gear co-host Chris Harris – was confirmed to be axed.
The series has been cut after just one season, despite enjoying decent viewing figures when it aired on Sunday nights on BBC One last year.
Despite attracting a reasonable 3.2 million viewers for its opener, the show will not be renewed for any more episodes.
A TV insider said: “It certainly wouldn’t have helped that just a few weeks before the show began on the Beeb, host Chris was slating the corporation following Freddie Flintoff’s horror crash while they were filming Top Gear.
“He said that he’d warned show bosses that someone could be killed or seriously injured on the show claiming producers were devising increasingly ‘stupid and dangerous’ stunts.
“The timing was not great, but by that stage Road Trippin’, which saw Chris reunited with Paddy without Freddie, had already been made and was ready to go out on air.”
