Rugby legend Peter Stringer tells Angela how he was bullied about his height as a kid and refused to take growth hormones; how he eats lots of fibre to “stay regular” and his awkward encounter with Lady Gaga and his wife.

Food writer and cook Donal Skehan lifts the lid on dying his hair since he was 23; how he manged to offend the entire Italian population; his friendship with Brian Dowling since their Peter Pan panto days and his favourite Swedish chocolate Plopp.

Bafta-winning comedy writer Aisling Bea chats to Angela about Twitter’s reaction to her English accent in Home Sweet Home Alone; why women wonder about being held back and why men are paid more than them and if she was a superhero she’d be “Horse Woman”. Neigh!

Comedian and actor PJ Gallagher rides in on his Penny Farthing to tell Angela why he thinks Amy Huberman is like a ham sandwich; how he’s a “cranky old hoor” now that he’s 46; why he believes he and Louis Walsh were separated at birth and his belief that if he eats too many chips he will in fact go bald!

Former rugby player, chart topper and award-winning author Niall Breslin chats to Angela about creating an “arse halo” whilst mooning on the bus; his love of all things DIY; his mum’s cringe inducing nickname for him – “Pet Lamb” and why he thinks the world is moving too fast for all of us.

Red headed warrior queen and singer Mary Coughlan catches up with her former stylist Angela and regales her with stories of her nude modelling career in Limerick; teaching Julia Roberts how to sing; her interest in Celtic spirituality and Shamanism and who’s in her Whatsapp group “Three Hairy Bitches.”

Proud Kerryman Dáithí Ó Sé talks man spanx; smoking withdrawal symptoms; his feral upbringing; accidentally setting his mother’s clothesline on fire and his rose-tinted memories of laying eyes on his now wife for the first time.

TV personality and self-proclaimed diva Gemma Collins chats to Angela about spending £2,000 on a steak dinner; how she hated every claustrophobic minute of Big Brother; evil ice rink spirits and how she’d love to marry Liam Neeson but simply doesn’t have a clue who Daniel O’Donnell is.

Actress Charlene McKenna spills the beans on her new boss Graham Norton; how she was Paul Mescal’s first Daisy in The Great Gatsby; how wearing period costume is not conducive to eating pasta and how her brother wanted her help with a septic tank pipe during a wedding dress fitting!
