00:13:10I
00:13:12I
00:13:14He
00:13:16I
00:13:18I
00:13:20태
00:13:24I
00:13:26I
00:13:27I
00:13:28I
00:13:30crime fiction that's why I write that so I just I wanted to write the best book I could and for as
00:13:34many people as possible to like it and then it turns out you know that is 15 million people
00:13:39which is great but it's lovely but the thing I love is writing it the thing I love is having
00:13:43those characters putting them out in the world meeting readers and this is you know writing as
00:13:48I started out as a writer I had this weird sort of coldly sack of becoming a television presenter
00:13:52which don't tell anyone but is the easiest job in the world and with respect to be fair and and now
00:14:01now I get to do a proper job again which is lovely no which is good we love a mommy story as you can
00:14:07tell on this show we love a mommy story in Ireland your mommy had something to do with this she was
00:14:11a bit of an inspiration for the first book yeah well she lives in a retirement village and I would
00:14:16go down there all the time and everyone there's over 70 I'd go down there and these people had
00:14:20such incredible stories and done these amazing things and yet they were all drinking red wine
00:14:26at 11 30 in the morning and I thought this is a good gang of people isn't it and where she lives
00:14:31is you know sort of you know sort of green hills and you can hear the birdsong and I thought this
00:14:34would be an amazing place for a murder and rather than commit one rather than commit one I just thought
00:14:41well if there was a murder here then this lot would solve it and it gave me the idea for the Thursday
00:14:46murder club four people in their late 70s early 80s look over old cold cases and suddenly there's
00:14:51a real murder on their doorstep and yeah I just had that inspiration and and and off I went I'm glad
00:14:56I did and when your mum read the first book she was reading it quite intently but not in a kind of
00:15:01follow in the plot way yeah well because because I said oh I you know when I came here I had this idea
00:15:06so she thought I was she writing about all her friends she was reading it for legal reasons she's
00:15:10reading the whole thing just to make sure I hadn't kind of you know said anything about any of her
00:15:14neighbours I had to say afterwards you know I made this up you know this is like just fiction
00:15:18people from my head but the people in that village now when I first did it they said don't tell people
00:15:22where the village is because what if we get tourists we don't want tourists we're very private people
00:15:27and I firstly I said look it won't be a hit don't worry about that but now when it did sell all those
00:15:31copies now they're like they're selling t-shirts and mugs now there's now I go down there and they
00:15:36pitch me murders I go down there say here's an idea if I'd kill someone Richard you'll like this one
00:15:41all of them all good all good so the mum was the inspiration I believe that the mother of Ireland
00:15:46Marion Keyes also offered you some inspirational advice for writing I mean the nicest woman in the
00:15:51whole world I'm trying to persuade the BBC to put Marion on celebrity traitors okay don't you think
00:15:58she would have to be a faithful I would have thought no but imagine yes exactly the woman who said no is
00:16:03exactly right imagine Marion as a traitor she'd be the greatest traitor of all time yes no one would
00:16:09believe it of her no so so she said ages ago we're talking about how hard it is to the only
00:16:14thing about writing if you're writing is you've got to sit down and do it that's the only rule
00:16:17you've got to sort of put your backside in the chair and actually start and she said which is
00:16:21harder than yeah well it's like going to the gym you've got to put your trainers on right and that's
00:16:26the worst bit of it and once you're done they think oh now I'm going to have to do it and she said
00:16:29well I always light a candle so before I start writing I light a candle so before the candle is lit I'm not
00:16:34writing is that for holy inspiration or is that I mean you know what you never know with
00:16:38Marion okay yeah and she says before it's lit I'm not writing when it's lit I am writing I said
00:16:43that's a it's a really lovely idea and then two days later I get a thing in the post and it's a
00:16:47candle from Marion saying happy writing that's nice I cannot believe she's a traitor I can't
00:16:53believe it and that is why she wrote me that's why she'd be amazing yeah we got to talk about the
00:17:00book we made into a movie that was just crazy stuff an amazing cast Netflix biggest movie last year
00:17:06Helen Mirren uh the world's sexiest man Pierce Brosnan yeah I thought you can say Ben Kingsley
00:17:11Ben Kingsley Ben Kingsley this is the line up here and uh you've got a gentleman there uh just Steven
00:17:18Spielberg just beside you hanging out right I look like a competition winner it's it's uh I had to say
00:17:24Pierce Brosnan who is he's the most handsome man I've ever met in my entire life until I saw Troy
00:17:29Parrott uh and they all had books because they were all reading my book I thought oh isn't that
00:17:35amazing Helen Mirren and they were all reading my book and then he thought well of course they have
00:17:37to contractually they have to read the book because they're in it uh but so I was signing the books
00:17:41for all of them and when you sign books though the thing you mustn't do is sign people's name wrong
00:17:46so you get one chance to do it and I spelt Pierce's name wrong no well he was so handsome and I was so
00:17:52distracted that I just I spelt his name wrong and I realized as I was doing it I realized I was doing it
00:17:57but I thought I can't even admit to it now so I had to go to my local bookshop the next day
00:18:02buy a copy of my own book and sign it again for Pierce with the right name and say I'm so sorry you
00:18:07are so you're so handsome I got distracted I I love the fact that the local bookshop charged you
00:18:12for your own books that's that's good they were like this is how he's selling 15 million books he
00:18:16keeps buying himself he's buying himself uh I mean Pierce of course uh very famously played James Bond
00:18:22did I read somewhere that you potentially could have been a spy at one point
00:18:26yeah well I mean I I was uh after university though I was I was tapped up by uh by uh MI6
00:18:34I think I'm I'm too tall to be a spy is the truth I can't I can't lie or hide so I'd be the worst spy
00:18:41in the world but yeah they they sort of tapped me up in in quite a quite a boring way but yeah I could
00:18:46have been I could have been a spy I'm not saying I'm not perhaps I am okay today it's good cover if
00:18:50I'm a spy I mean do you imagine that if that comes out in 20 years time you've done this interview
00:18:53you didn't get it out of me it's it's true and you know I mean MI6 spies would would get such a
00:18:58such a warm welcome in Ireland it um I mean I would suggest staying undercover for for this interview
00:19:05yeah just for the record I'm I'm not you're not a spy or or am I or am I there's a theme there's a theme
00:19:12um so in terms of uh you know the writing all of these things it kind of came later in life there
00:19:22was pointless there was house of games I mean you didn't really want to be in front of the camera
00:19:26no it was it was it was a complete accident really I was uh I was a writer then I was a tv producer for
00:19:31many many many years um which is another job that's harder than being a tv presenter and then when we
00:19:37pitched pointless to the bbc sometimes when you pitch game shows and you've done this yeah you
00:19:42get presenters to play the uh you get producers rather to play the presenters and we pitched
00:19:47pointless to the bbc and they liked it and that you know I played the Richard Osman role uh in this
00:19:53run-through and they said oh we really need someone like Richard to do the Richard Osman role and then
00:20:00someone on the team said well why don't you ask Richard he's really like Richard and they were like
00:20:05and because they had a big name because Alexander Armstrong was hosting it yeah they could I think
00:20:08they could go with someone who was unknown so they said would you like to do it I thought I mean what's
00:20:12the worst that can happen we'll do 20 episodes of this something to tell the grandkids I was on tv
00:20:16once and then 2,000 episodes later 2,000 so I was still there yeah but at that point you were so
00:20:23nervous about going out in front of an audience that you actually had a fake name on the on the dressing
00:20:28room door well we would always have fake names we had fake names me and Xander on our dressing
00:20:31room doors because on the very first show a contestant knocked on Alexander Armstrong's door
00:20:36and invited himself into his dressing room and started eating his biscuits with him and just
00:20:40said oh I'm looking forward to the show and Alexander Armstrong who's the most well-bought up
00:20:44man in the world has to go oh can I make you a cup of tea so from that day onwards his the name
00:20:49on his dressing room door was Sir Peter Morehouse and the name on my dressing room door was the
00:20:53Reverend Wendy Benson so I was I was for 12 years I was the Reverend Wendy Benson until you until you
00:21:00moved on and now a lot of people on on House of Games win I mean the prizes are okay on House of
00:21:06Games yes oh no they're tat okay they're tat they're tat they're deliberate tat you you want something
00:21:12a lot more significant on House of Games the the love of your life I did yes yes I met my wife on on
00:21:19House of Games the the actress Ingrid Oliver and I saw her name on a list of people who are going to come
00:21:24on the show and there she is cute uh and yeah I said they said how who would you like on this list
00:21:31and I said well yeah I quite like Ingrid Oliver I secretly said to that my producer I said I've got
00:21:36a bit of a crush on Ingrid and yeah we literally started dating the following week so our entire
00:21:42first date is on camera this this kind of five days worth of uh of House of Games I said in my speech
00:21:49I said I still it's very rare you remember the very first thing you said to your soulmate right the
00:21:53very very first time you met the person you spent your life with it who remembers what they said
00:21:57and I remember exactly what I said to Ingrid first thing I ever said was uh I'm looking for two
00:22:01answers and they rhyme with each other uh a musical instrument played by shaking and the capital of
00:22:07Venezuela and I remember the first thing she said to me which was caracas and maracas and she had you
00:22:13at caracas she had me at caracas she absolutely did and and and the maracas were just a bonus
00:22:18um what a lovely story what a lovely story
00:22:23before
00:22:24uh before we wrap up here uh as you can tell we've got a bit of world cup fever uh here

00:22:43raise money for charity by doing world cup of chocolate world cup of crisps and all sorts of
00:22:46things like that so this was a world cup where you put different flavors of crisps together there

00:30:03the carpets on the floor even in the bathroom real real bartender irish pub oh yeah irish pub and so
00:30:11that was kind of the training for the stand-up then absolutely yeah yeah because sometimes as
00:30:15well we're in the pub where i worked it was like it wasn't very trendy so there'd be no music gone
00:30:20it'd be raining outside you'd have people from all walks of life and you just have to chat you know how
00:30:24we do it in ireland yeah no we know exactly how we do it and so richard richard's mom was kind of

00:31:25hey mom's no genuinely mom's no they kind of do know because she saw something in you and then we saw
00:31:30something in you when you well there's one particular video yeah that we all just loved
00:31:35richard this is uh this is uh kyla uh on instagram i mean how many million views does this have now i
00:31:41mean i don't know like like how many books did you sell 15 million about that 15 million yeah yeah

00:31:55our boyfriend ah yeah he's unbelievable crack i know yeah i gotta rest his soul so he was a good man
00:32:17very good though very good you know what it is as well like you spend so much time trying to like
00:32:21think of funny ideas and funny videos and i was on my break at work and a guy walked in that you
00:32:27know just someone walks towards when you're at work and you're like oh here we go and he's like how
00:32:31are you and i was like grant how are you we were all chatting my boss like do you know him and i was
00:32:34like oh he's a nightmare i was like but he's a lovely guy it just came from that but then if you look
00:32:39in the video i went downstairs to get takeaway cops and it's all fireproofed so it looks like i've got
00:32:43loads of dandruff in my hair in the video and i meant bloody viral this is good though it's all good it works
00:32:49uh you uh well i mean there's quite a lot of i'm sure you've met quite a lot of winkers uh in in
00:32:54british tv and british tv oh yeah i can't i can't wink can you not wait no i can't do it that's a lack of
00:33:00crack that's it yeah i wondered what it was
00:33:08so richard richard met his wife at work you met i met my almost husband am i allowed to say fiance i hate
00:33:16the word fiance i'm far too irish to say the word almost husband almost husband i'm betrothed to him
00:33:23who's south african so tomorrow it might be the end of the relationship let's see
00:33:29or we're gonna have a great night i don't know let's see it's gonna be very exciting
00:33:33he's in there he is so handsome he's a he's handsome he's pretty isn't he it's very annoying
00:33:38because every time people meet him they're like oh my god he's so handsome i'm like what am i the ugly
00:33:41twin in the attic why is everyone so surprised that i've got a handsome husband yeah he's right
00:33:46of course he is fiance fiance yeah yeah personality as well and uh and so he popped the question where
00:33:55it was he popped the question so we're in south africa driving around on a road trip and i had a
00:34:00broken leg and i was wearing a fisherman's hat and he walked up and he had he actually had a black
00:34:06plastic bag and i don't know why but i looked and i was like did you in that bag and he was like
00:34:12i know that's your first thought i don't know what and he's never ever done anything of like that and
00:34:17i was just like oh my god and then he was like no and then he did the whole beautiful he didn't get
00:34:22down one knee because i'd be absolutely mortified as a true irish woman would uh and then i said yeah
00:34:27and now here we are we're almost married but it's taken ages it's very hard to get married in ireland
00:34:32what is that i don't know oh look at that look at that so cute yeah i don't know what it is
00:34:39because he's got all different documentation and we live in spain so there's different i swear
00:34:44like i when they robbed the lure if i was like they did that faster than we i must get married
00:34:48like come on like yeah
00:34:52so well at least richard and i know what to get you as a wedding present it's a black bag with that
00:34:57yeah thank you sorry have you yeah are you going to go full bridezilla on this or you're not you're
00:35:06not a fan of fashion i'm not a big fan of the beauty industry and what they do to women it's not really
00:35:10my vibe all this sculpting and changing and all that comes with it squeezing in and pretending and yeah
00:35:20now did i spend two hours getting my makeup done yes i did but that's a different ball game yeah you're not
00:35:26a fan of the active wear absolutely no the active wear the sculpting and shaping i mean i find that
00:35:30ridiculous when i go to buy active wear to work out and they're like this will make you tighter and
00:35:34sculptor and skinnier and upper and i'm like the whole point of exercising is that i'm gonna take
00:35:38i'm gonna get there do you know what i mean but they're forcing you into one of these so i won't
00:35:42take it i absolutely won't take it i like my little belly i like my stew you know what i mean
00:35:46he loves my belly as well
00:36:01you two guys took your little bellies around a marathon course last year yes we did and it was
00:36:08the worst experience of my life anybody that runs a marathon you need to do go home and repair the
00:36:14relationship with your family stop running marathons it is so awful and everyone kept
00:36:19saying to me if you run half you can run a full one and that is not true and people kept saying
00:36:26as well it's a mental game it's not it's very physical it's extremely physical i remember running
00:36:31the london marathon once i got halfway around and just it's awful isn't it yeah it's so bad do you
00:36:35ever want a marathon of course not i haven't lost my mind they should just all agree that marathon

00:39:50and i i think i'm quite competitive and it's a quiz show and i like a quiz and i like a pub quiz and there's
00:39:59monday to friday five episodes and i've learned since from the fans on twitter you're not supposed
00:40:05to win all five days okay yes i think i took it a bit seriously yes and and and tried a bit hard at
00:40:12the trivia but but that's how you win the the big prize that's how you win all the tat padding yes
00:40:17i see what you're saying uh i mean you're a busy man you're gigging lots of venues uh belfast boy not
00:40:23a belfast name uh can you tell us the where the the angelones came from yes grew up in belfast half
00:40:31italian so i come from an immigrant background and that sometimes gets an applause but don't worry about
00:40:40you can feel how the voting trends are shifting in ireland um and listen you get the government you
00:40:46deserve and i know i grew up grew up in belfast half italian my family had to move away from italy
00:40:52during world war ii to get away from all the bombs and violence
00:40:59so the move to belfast um good work team uh out of the frying pan into the raw
00:41:10you're saying you're competitive uh you were you watching the football then uh this week i know
00:41:14you're a funny fan i had a bit of a nightmare so i was in new york last week and i got back the day
00:41:20before the match and i was new york luggage truly did you take that to new york i've taken this to
00:41:26australia i've taken it to new york and every so often and i was like it's a pre-record so we recorded
00:41:32it months ago and it only came out last week and i was sort of wheeling this around going i am slightly
00:41:37wheeling around a spoiler yeah for richard osmond's house of games and occasionally i'd be putting it on
00:41:42the security tray and they go how'd you get that and i go oh well i couldn't possibly say oh i got
00:41:46that actually and it was very belfast protocol of sort of saying nothing about the suitcase
00:41:56would you remember enough to leave it there yes then don't leave it unattended yes i've learned
00:42:00that that's how i imagine that if that had been blown up i don't think any of them have been blown up
00:42:05don't don't dare me richard i will i will blow up your suitcase honestly collaborate with me on
00:42:13instagram we'll do we'll we'll do that that's now that'll go viral and we'll both wink after
00:42:19that's like my only thing
00:42:23so you so so i was so i was all said i've got okay i'm gonna watch the match when i get back from new
00:42:28york it's gonna be great and i sat down had it on the tv and uh jet lag is a cruel mistress and i
00:42:34fell asleep just before kickoff and woke up and saw the final score during the reaction from the
00:42:39pundits so i've uh but i think it's good i don't think irish people are very like we're not used to
00:42:47this no winning very true well i mean england fans are but irish fans not so much well this because
00:42:52england fans they go to these tournaments and they get filled with expectation and i'm worried that we're
00:42:57getting filled with expectation because england fans like i live in london and it's very funny
00:43:02in the build-up to a tournament they're all like oh it's coming home and it never is
00:43:17right richard applauding and that's the clip we'll use
00:43:23but i'm much more of a fan of like you know ireland like i i somehow like it when they don't make the
00:43:29tournament and we just have to support you know whoever england are against you know
00:43:35i've always been a huge fan of the former yukoslav republic of macedonia that's my boyhood team
00:43:42and they're a good bunch but you know i i do get in trouble for being a bit antagonistic to the english
00:43:46sometimes no i can see the competitive nature coming out here we actually have a little uh clip
00:43:50because you've played a bit yourself played a little bit of football and i'm hoping for a call-up
00:43:56for the game i mean to be to be honest i mean we got a clip here richard have a little look at this
00:44:00this is uh this is you with a charity game you're playing against dimitar berbatov yes one of the
00:44:05greatest bulgarians to ever kick a football that is correct and i i i just i'm not very good at
00:44:12football but i am what people would refer to as a cheeky bastard so i just took a notion to do something a
00:44:20bit mad okay here we go we've got a clip talk us through what's happening here so this is the ball
00:44:25a brilliant interception and i just not megged him oh wow because fuck bulgaria look at that
00:44:34look at the celebration i played very cool i played very good i did patty i just kicked the ball away
00:44:46i kicked the ball away to somebody they might have been in the other team i did a lap of the pitch
00:44:50and got a high five from jason mcateer and i will take that to my grave thank you good
00:44:55you're uh you're saying there so you're living in england now you've got uh the girlfriend's english
00:45:05as well yeah no she's she's a good friend and uh we hang out me and my girlfriend she's she's lovely
00:45:16i think look all couples no matter nationality they all have little arguments and a classic little
00:45:21argument is like you know you took up more than half the bed that's a classic couple argument i don't
00:45:24know if you and simon have had that you took up more than half the bed i certainly do we have
00:45:32not married ireland not married but i just i feel like an english-irish relationship is the only one
00:45:38where she takes up more than half the bed and i call her a colonial bastard she'll move back but she
00:45:45will take six pillows maybe just a joke for the nordys in the room and now you're going to sing four green
00:45:54duvets is that right all right good you you said somewhere that uh that you thought you i have a
00:46:02toxic trait with simon because yeah we have a very calm and loving relationship but when i have a few
00:46:06drinks i don't know is it just me but i look at him and i genuinely think i'm like i could definitely
00:46:11take him no i really as a woman i'm like i could like you're bigger and stronger but i'm scrappier like
00:46:16i could definitely take you down and tomorrow we're going to find out simon so let's see
00:46:23i'm so sorry richard this is
00:46:27this is taken taken a very antagonistic turn i'm i'm so sorry where this has gone for our visitors
00:46:32from overseas oh i love it i'm very i'm very comfortable you're fine with this yeah uh you
00:46:37saw this man in edinburgh uh back in the day you realized four or five years ago yeah i went to see
00:46:43him and uh he was so funny he was just terrific you could you could tell right away and i've you know
00:46:47i've worked in comedy for years and years and years and you can be like watching kyda now you can see
00:46:51when someone's got it uh and you've definitely got it and when i saw vittoria i thought i can't wait to
00:46:56see where he's going in the next few years so lovely to have him now have a piece of luggage with my face
00:47:01on it which is that's essentially how i like to uh how i like to roll you'll have one you'll have one
00:47:06i don't want one you'll have one i'll take a five news i'll take about this yeah yeah for sure um
00:47:15you know one of the brilliant things like i i love watching your stand-up because it's like it's funny
00:47:19but it's open you'll just you're an open book you'll you know on stage you've talked about uh this kind
00:47:25of you know possibly being autistic where are you with all of that at the moment it's it's an interesting
00:47:31process trying trying to be autistic or trying to get autism i just got all the vaccines i'm hoping
00:47:40for the best um but it's funny because normally when you're not well you know you've you phone the
00:47:47doctor but when you think you have autism you still have to phone the doctor but normally you have
00:47:51symptoms you got a blocked nose you got a sore head you got all this stuff going on when you think you
00:47:54have autism you kind of have to phone the doctor and go hello i'm weird and he goes
00:48:00how weird clinically weird i believe and there's sort of a whole back and forward they send you
00:48:06out like a they chat to you and ask if you're the only person that thinks you have autism and i said
00:48:11no it's it's everyone on the internet my instagram messages are just people with autism telling me
00:48:16that i have autism and the messages don't start oh vittoria have you considered that you might
00:48:22the messages start thank you for representing our community
00:48:25um and uh but so you go through this and i'm currently the second round they send you a sort
00:48:31of application form for autism i don't think that's the the word that they use yes it felt like an
00:48:36application form i wrote a cover letter just in case and now i'm through to the third round this is
00:48:41where i currently am i'm through to the third i'm through the judges houses of autism and so fingers
00:48:46crossed i feel like it'll be sort of a simon cowell moment at the end where they go i'm really sorry to
00:48:50say you're riddled with it now so so this is a real a real diagnosis a real process and it's been
00:48:58like there's really difficult parts to it and sort of looking back i mean we're building up to the
00:49:02toy show like you sort of look back at moments in your life where you go oh yeah that was probably
00:49:06a dead giveaway really and there's a story that my mom tells of when i was three years old uh sort of
00:49:12around this time of year the um mom came in and said like oh vittoria are you excited for santa
00:49:19and i turned around as a three-year-old and said i don't know why adults insist on lying to children
00:49:26okay so there's your diagnosis there i reckon yes and but these sort of you look back in these
00:49:31moments and you have difficult social interactions and there's a worry that i don't want to be defined
00:49:37by it i think some people grab a hold of these diagnoses and go well this is my whole personality
00:49:42my whole identity and i'm very averse to that you know i'm very proud to be irish but it's not
00:49:46the only thing about me i'm very proud to be italian and part of that heritage but that's not
00:49:50the only thing about me either and i don't want this diagnosis to be sort of a coverall for the
00:49:54reasons i do everything i think i want to be my own person aside from that but that's just an element
00:50:00of who i am i think is the hope uh the new show is called you can't say anything anymore you can't
00:50:07say nothing can't say nothing very west belfast title yes yeah yeah yeah it sort of plays on this
00:50:13idea of i get very frustrated and bored with comedians who say everybody's too woke nowadays
00:50:18and you can't say anything anymore because i just think it's complete nonsense i've performed all
00:50:22around the country all around the world and i find audiences are very receptive to material that can
00:50:27be controversial or difficult as long as you're quite skilled and caring with how you approach those
00:50:32topics and then there's the element of talking about the say nothing side of things because belfast is
00:50:37really on the global map at the minute and the global consciousness and just talking about this
00:50:43feeling of a younger generation in northern ireland having to redefine our identity because the defining
00:50:48characteristic for lots of people about northern ireland is the troubles but i didn't live through
00:50:52that i was born in 1996 so i think we've given a blank canvas to sort of decide what that means to us
00:50:59and whether that's me doing stand-up about it or kneecap rapping about it or all these different
00:51:04people who are dairy girls and you've had anto boil all these people and i just think it's exciting
00:51:10it's daunting but i think we have a real opportunity to write our own story on our own terms and that's
00:51:16part of what i'm trying to do with the show brilliant absolutely brilliant
00:51:25vittorio is taking his new show you can't say nothing anymore around ireland and britain
00:51:31from january next year you can see vittorioangelone.com for more and you can listen to his podcast

00:56:49say 15 years and i was welcomed with open arms back then and i really do i call this my home now i really
00:56:57love it uh so ireland's your home and when it comes to your life it is just music and family
00:57:02and those are the two things which you just love more than anything else but at the start of this
00:57:08year something happened uh which life took an unexpected turn can you tell us what happened in
00:57:14january yeah um well for those of you that don't know i have two children milo will be four now in
00:57:21january and i have hallie who is just over one and a half and when hallie was born um she went through
00:57:29quite a rough time we were in nicu for 10 days and then she got rsv last november and she got it four
00:57:37times after that so we were in and out of hospital all the time and it was very stressful and in january
00:57:45of this year i was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia which is a severe facial pain i didn't
00:57:53know what it was at the time i just knew that it was so sore so i went to the doctor and she said yeah
00:57:58your symptoms sound like you've got trigeminal neuralgia and she gave me medication and it managed
00:58:05to keep it at bay but from then on we were still very stressed with hallie because she was she had acid
00:58:12reflux she had lots of allergies she was still getting lots of illnesses in and out of hospital
00:58:18trying to go back to work do my singing be a mum be a wife be a daughter and i essentially burnt myself
00:58:26out completely and in june of this year i felt very unwell got another flare-up of trigeminal neuralgia
00:58:34and one saturday evening after a week of feeling really not well i was sitting on the sofa
00:58:41mum and dad were minding the kids they were making dinner for them and i just felt my left leg was
00:58:48just so heavy all of a sudden and i tried to lift my left leg and it wouldn't go anywhere but i could
00:58:55see my muscles tensing but it still wouldn't move and then i tried to lift the right one and it went up
00:59:02and i tried again and it wouldn't go anywhere and i says mum i i can't i can't move my leg and she says
00:59:08what do you mean you can't move your leg and she asked me to show her and she was like right straight
00:59:12in the car and up to the doctors straight into A&E and they'd done tests for stroke and they were
00:59:22they done all the cts the bloods the mris everything but everything came back normal we actually have you
00:59:28you had uh you took a few pictures and posted some of this uh on on your phone here so this is
00:59:35this is you in the summer so this is uh that's that night yeah so that's that one so you can
00:59:41lift one but then it got worse yeah so within a space of a few hours after in being in A&E the doctor
00:59:48was examining me and she asked me to lift my left leg it wouldn't go anywhere and then she asked me to
00:59:53lift my right leg and it wouldn't go anywhere either so both of them were gone within the space
00:59:58of two or three hours and the face the facial pain and the pain in my head was excruciating so they were
01:00:05giving me morphine um diazepam oxygen tramadol everything to try and get on top of the pain
01:00:12and to try and find out what was the reason that my symptoms were escalating so quickly but they just
01:00:18they couldn't get to the bottom of it because the results were coming back normal
01:00:22i mean that must have just been the most frightening thing
01:00:27it was scary it was scary but i think i was in so much pain at that time that i didn't really
01:00:32properly think about what was going on i would just wanted them to get on top of the pain
01:00:37but the longer it went on the longer i was in hospital i was in for 10 days
01:00:41and you know the realization of i can't get out of bed i need nurses to physically lift my legs off
01:00:49the bed into a wheelchair to go to the bathroom to shower i couldn't physically do anything for
01:00:55myself anymore and the longer that went on that was then when it started to set and i was thinking to
01:01:02myself okay how what we're going to do here to get back on our feet and so the diagnosis was
01:01:08functional neurological disorder okay basically means that there's a nervous system problem and
01:01:17your brain is not sending the signals properly to your limbs or to your body it's essentially they
01:01:23call it a software problem in your brain and not a hardware problem and but it's when you know they do
01:01:30all the examinations they do the bloods they do the cts and your the results come back normal but your
01:01:37symptoms are very real you know people have seizures they have speech problems they have tremors they have
01:01:43weakness which is what i have and i had never heard of it before when i was diagnosed i've never heard of
01:01:50at all but since i have shared my story the thousands of messages that i have had from people to say
01:01:58that they're going through something similar and they've been sent home and they've no help
01:02:03they don't know where to turn or what to do and they're really really struggling it's it's mind
01:02:09blowing that the amount of people that are so ill and have you any idea what what brought it on
01:02:14purely stress yeah stress and burnout you know and you know i'm doing what i am doing and i love to
01:02:21do is touring as you well know touring around the country and you you know you you're eating at the
01:02:26wrong times you're eating the wrong food you're not getting enough sleep and you're going home then
01:02:31late at night and you're getting up first thing in the morning with the kids being mum again and then
01:02:37you're going to do the shop and in the local the shop you're trying to squeeze in everything and wear
01:02:43every hat you can and in that time i just completely forgot about looking after myself so it was a huge
01:02:52wake-up call i mean seeing you walk out here tonight i mean after seeing that that you just you know
01:02:58couldn't move at all i mean that that's amazing like what was the what was the moment when was the
01:03:03moment that that you felt you turned the corner uh one singular moment for me was when i was introduced
01:03:12to a man called um michael d'ohorte and i was at home i was off my feet for a month at this stage
01:03:21and you know when you're at night and you're thinking how am i going to get better because
01:03:28you're sent home and it's there's no recovery plan there's no strategy there's no one saying
01:03:32you're going to go here and this is what's going to happen it's a case of this is what you've got
01:03:37go home and try and recover you probably have relapses but it's just a case of you know kind
01:03:42of just getting on with it and i really wasn't willing to accept that as an answer and i was
01:03:48introduced to michael o'doherty who basically put the the team the medical team around me from the
01:03:56beginning he asked what my symptoms were he asked the medication i was on he asked what tests were done
01:04:02and you know simple things like could there be something in your mouth to do with your teeth
01:04:08that are this contributing so he basically started again and asked all the questions and and built you
01:04:15up a treatment program yeah he tried to get to the root of the problem and this was you know you're
01:04:19also getting occupational therapy and yes yeah he put the the team around me with occupational therapy
01:04:24with physio and it's purely an integrated you know strategy including all the the medics and
01:04:31the professionals and michael and i 100 percent know that without his help i i wouldn't be where
01:04:40i am today i definitely know that so i i have so much to thank him for and this team and kira our
01:04:46occupational therapist as well and everyone who's been amazing uh you shared your story online
01:04:52um i know you're saying that that got quite the reaction it's been unbelievable you know from the
01:04:59very first video i shared the amount of flowers and messages and cards and mass cards and prayers
01:05:07and phone calls and emails honestly and it's still still happening to this day you know i have always
01:05:14said i have the best fans in the world and you know you can say oh that's really cliche to say that but
01:05:19i genuinely i couldn't have got through the last few months without you know all the support all the
01:05:25prayers all the you know messages and they really have kept me going i mean it's good to see you
01:05:33you know back is good to see uh uh you know you've you've got that you know bit of a twinkle uh back in
01:05:39your eye you're ready to to get back out there and perform again i'm getting there i'm getting there
01:05:44i don't want to give anyone the impression that i've waved a magic wand and you know everything is 100
01:05:50again because i'm definitely still on the recovery journey um still get tired i'm still you know
01:05:55doing small bits and then rest and i have to manage my energy and i have to completely change the way
01:06:02my life is and it has and the way it will be going forward and yeah i enjoy you know singing as i always
01:06:09have done and i want to do more of that um but i really have to ease myself in gently and look after
01:06:15myself okay uh would you mind if we ask you to ease yourself into tonight and give us a wee tune
01:06:22yeah there's nothing like pressure from the late late show no there's not like pressure
01:06:31yeah okay here we go uh we're going to get uh as ty uh ty's coming in here uh your guitarist and
01:06:38you're going to give us a wee tune here what is this given the given the fact that we're all in

01:06:53of mine katrina burgoyne it's a christmas song and we released a few years ago it's called home with a
01:06:58heartbeat
01:07:08i used to be those little feet the hands tugging at the bed sheets the voice the banks come on see
01:07:21the gifts that he left by the tree but now the season means so much more i can see what christmas is for
01:07:35not tinsel the bells or a wreath on the door or mistletoe hung in the hall
01:07:45it's that time of year when you bring family near and when hope is a gift guaranteed
01:07:54when it's more than the fire that warms you inside is the love and the comfort it brings
