Wife put washing-up liquid in my noodles, gardaí told

Gardaí were called to a house in Cork by a man who claimed that his wife doused his noodles in washing-up liquid.

But Lucky Hope was the one who ended up as the defendant in court.

“I cooked the noodles and I had chicken in the oven. I was waiting to put the chicken on the noodles. I went to the sitting room. I was watching telly. I went back into the kitchen to take my chicken out of the oven. I put my food on the table. I put the noodles in my mouth. The whole thing was liquid, it was soap,” Mr Hope said.
