This is one of the most incredible stories we've heard yet, and the first time we have taken a deep dive into the world of problem gambling.

Tony stole €1.75m from his employer to fund a gambling habit that got so out of control he lost of €10m in total, including almost half a million in just 12 hours.

This is a great insight into the grip gambling can take on people and how addicts can live a double life with what can be a totally secret addiction.

From panicking in the shower to swearing by LL Cool J’s “iconic” Deep Blue Sea, Terence is thriving in the water this week. A film recommendation from Calvin sees Terence insisting he can be a world beating free-diver, but not without warning of the dangers of panicking in the shower. And some education on record breaking films leads to him swearing off all fish cinema – except one. There’s a debate on movie soundtracks, a reflection on awkward fan interactions, colonies on the moon, and a passionate endorsement of a local delicacy.

PJ Gallagher has been one of Ireland's most famous faces for the past two decades, and has lived his life in the public eye in that time - but he is only now telling the full story. He spoke to us about growing up in a house with alcoholic parents and 5 men with schizophrenia; how he got into comedy; the birth of Naked Camera and the inspiration behind Jake Stevens; how he found out he was adopted and contacted his birth parents, and how his struggle with depression very nearly saw him take his own life, but through the help of friends and the proper car he was able to come out the far side. We also hear about the time a young Calvin and his mates jumped PJ, during a recording of Naked Camera.
