Jesse MetcalfeJesse Metcalfe was worried he messed up the first time he met girlfriend Nadine Coyle’s parents because he had had “a few” drinks to settle his nerves.

The Desperate Housewives star told OK magazine: “The first time I met Nadine’s mum and dad, I was very drunk! But it seems they warmed to me. I don’t think the Irish frown upon having a drink!”

“I woke up in the morning really worried because you want to make a good impression, especially when you really like somebody.”

“They teased me a little about it because I was hungover. Nadine’s family are really cool people.”

Girls Aloud’s Nadine has yet to meet Jesse’s mum but is already getting worried about it: “I’ll meet his mum when I go over to LA [later this year]. I’m really nervous because he’s the only son. I might be in for a rough ride.”

Jesse also admitted that he was seeing someone else when he first met Nadine: “I was seeing someone but when we got serious, everyone else fell away. I want to get married and have kids.”

Nadine, on the other hand, is slightly more cautious: “He’s sweet but I don’t like thinking about the future.”
