Communion Deliveroo.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Kevin joked that despite the brilliance of a drive by communion, he reckons that PJ\u2019s mum\u2019s friends might be raging over her  special treatment from the priest, while Kevin had the stroke of genius when he thought that if the body of Christ can be served at home, why not the blood.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I love if he\u2019d do the blood,\u2019 PJ said. \u2018Because if it was past 10 o\u2019clock [when off licences close], I\u2019d be like \u201corder the blood of Christ.\u201d\u2018<\/p>\n<p>People loved the duo on the Late Late, with Kayleigh Trappe commenting: \u2018AMEN,\u2019 while another added: \u2018These guys are absolute STARS.
