Episode 3 of my catch-ups with former podcast guests is with the wonderful Kerry, who found fame on Big Brother UK.

Since then, she has been an ambassador for people with disabilities, in particular MS.

She tells me all about how one show changed her life, how she thinks her season was the best, and why she is glad no-one has topped her Halloween exit from the house.

We also talk about her weight loss journey and how that has affected her health and why she is not picking sides in a break up.

And she looks back at her time in the NHS, and her time in the House and how they have made her who she is today.

In the second episode of my catch-up mini series, I chatted to Sarah Jayne about life has been since we last spoke on the podcast, almost FOUR years ago!!

I would not have said it would be that long!

In this, we talk about being lucky, pole dancing, empowerment, being a role model and being a literal model, and why there is a lack of them over 40.

As part of this week's celebration of my 100th episode, we are chatting to some former guests about how life has changed since we last spoke.

When I spoke to Billy back in June 2022, the pandemic was coming to an end, and life was good.

Just under a year later, Aslan lost Christy Dignam after a long cancer battle.

Now with a new singer two years later, Billy talks about the toll Christy's death had, losing a friend, and not knowing what to do in grief.

We also talk about playing Crazy World with Coldplay and so much more.

A great laugh as always! If you missed our first chat, make sure to check that out too!

IT'S MY 100TH EPISODE!!!! Whhhoooppppp!!

And the teenage Nicola who grew up with Now That's What I Call Music CDs, the posters of Ronan Keating with spiky hair in Father and Son and every issue of Smash Hits can't believe I am celebrating it with 90s popstar Kavana!!

We talk about his career, his new book Pop Scars and the stories we never knew- like how he was battling addiction and hiding his sexuality.

He's so open and honest, I think you'll agree.

Niamh has an incredible story.

You may know her as an All Ireland winner with Dublin, but did you know she had a rare disease growing up that caused her to have to learn how to speak all over again when she was just 10?

She tells me all, and how sport helped her when she couldn't express how she felt.

I am so blessed to have this gorgeous chat with Jack, about sport, Dancing with the Stars, mental health and finding love.

We look at his taekwondo journey, the Olympics and how it affected him outside of sport.

he told me why Dancing with the Stars was one of the best things he did, and how it made him new friendships.

There's so much in this episode, and thanks to VHI who set up the chat, as he is an ambassador for their Health and Wellbeing Fund.

My first ever cricketer and it is the Irish women's captain, Gaby Lewis.

Hear how she got into the game, what the cricketing world is like in Ireland, how beating England boosted their profile and so much more.

As the spotlight on female sports continues to shine, and our Irish females especially, let's give this chat a push and maybe a future cricketer will hear it!

The refffferreeee's a legend!

You don't tend to hear nice things about referees but I for one will only have good things to say about my guest today!

David has been a ref for years and is one of the most respected in GAA.

And he won the respect of the LGBTQ+ community when he publicly came out in 2015 in the campaigning for the Marriage Equality Referendum.

Since then, he has been fighting for Pride in the GAA and in sports. This week a documentary aired on TG4 with David at the helm, called Misneach: Bród sa Spórt, which looks at our sports and if they are a safe place for gay players.

You can watch it back on the TG4 player.

In this chat we discuss everything from doorknocking for permission to get married, to why it's harder to ref a small club game than a full house at Croker.

I hope you enjoy.

Sorry for the delay between episodes but I am so excited to bring you this chat with Ali!

As many of you might know, she recently discovered she had breast cancer and has gone through treatment, with her husband, family, neighbours and loved ones providing endless love and support.

In this chat, we discuss her cancer journey, how she found out she had it just weeks after moving to Ireland, and how the people she least expected turned up for her.

We also talk TV, being a star in the era of the lads mags and the naughties, that teacher-student affair storyline and why we are both aiming for the small wins from now on.

Ali is the loveliest guest you could hope for, so open, honest and goddamn hilarious!

I hope you enjoy. If you are worried about yourself and anything we discussed, please seek medical help. The Irish Cancer Society have loads of info on cancer.ie, in the UK, try breastcanceruk.org or the helpline closest to you.

And as always, please share with friends and family, leave me a comment on Spotify, rate and review and be kind.
