Pope Francis confessed Wednesday he had "lost patience" with an exuberant admirer who had grabbed his hand on Saint Peter's Square, prompting a swift pair of slaps.

"We lose patience many times. It happens to me too. I apologise for the bad example given yesterday," the head of the Catholic church said before celebrating Mass at the Vatican.
