Tim Healy offered a blunt response to a troll who commented on his son's alleged romance with pop superstar Taylor Swift.
Benidorm star Tim has broken his silence on the rumoured relationship between the two hitmakers, although neither have yet to confirm the news.
Matt, who is the lead singer of pop rock band The 1975, and Taylor have been friends for a number of years after a brief relationship more than a decade ago.

With the rumours swirling round, fans have been taking to social media to voice their views on the new dalliance.
One person wrote: "The thought of Denise Welch and Tim Healy being in-laws to Taylor Swift is very, very funny." Tim brutally hit back: "Why?"
It is believed that the couple will go public with their romance this weekend when the Shake It Off singer performs in Nashville, Tennessee.
Last month, it was announced that Taylor had split with actor Joe Alwyn, 32, after six years of dating. She had been linked with Formula One driver Fernando Alonso as recently as last weekend.
Fans have been scrambling to the pair's social media channels for further clues to confirm they are an item, which has led to a number of comments after an image shared by Matt's mum, Loose Women panellist Denise Welch.
The Geordie was seen to be beaming as she hugged the American singer backstage at a The 1975 gig at a sold-out O2 Arena in January.
