Presenter, rugby player and Love Island winner, Greg O'Shea is my guest on today's show.

Trigger warning: I am so grateful to Greg for his honesty in our chat. I truly believe what he has to say about asking for help when he encountered his own mental health struggles will be massively helpful to many people, particularly men, but it is important to note this conversation involves discussion about suicidal feelings. Greg's story is his own...

I was delighted to welcome onto the show a journalist I've admired for a long time, not just for her amazing work on the GolfGate scoop, but also for her no bullshit approach to social media.

Claire Byrne is RTÉ's current affairs presenting queen. She's another guest who I have been dying to have in for ages and I was chuffed when she told me a couple of weeks ago that was available to come in.

Louis Walsh and I met at a Junk Kouture event and we just *clicked*. He gave me his number at the time and he promised he'd do the podcast. Well, lo and behold, Louis is a man of his word!

We chatted about the X-Factor gossip we never knew we needed, his first memory of a young Stephen Gately, and the daily craic he still has with Simon Cowell...
