Leo Varadkar was torn asunder for his pitiful Pancake Tuesday offering

There’s more eating in a cloud than there is in that.

We all know Taoiseach Leo Varadkar likes to keep in shape.

He turns up to important meetings still wearing his gym gear, goes running with fellow world leaders in the Phoenix Park and he even has ‘fitness fan’ as part of his Twitter bio.

Message received.

Even the most ardent fitness fanatics like to relax and let their hair down every now and again, however, with Pancake Tuesday providing the ideal opportunity to pig out, even just a little.

Not in chez Leo, however, judging by the picture of a rather pitiful pancake he posted on Twitter on Tuesday evening as he spoke of his ‘last treat’ before ‘looking forward to an uber healthy 40 days’ of Lent.

Sure, there was some Nutella in there amongst all the fruit, but such was the lack of density in the pancake on the plate that the addition of a mere tablespoon would likely have led to immediate collapse and disintegration.

Not surprisingly, Leo’s tweet was ripe for extracting the urine, which people were only keen to do in the replies…

Hopefully Leo treats himself come Easter Sunday, he’ll deserve it.
