Philip Schofield made headlines around the world when he came out as gay on live TV last week.

Philip's story really resonated with one Dermot & Dave listener who had been through a similar situation himself.

Billy, who is from Strabane but now lives in Dundalk, was married for 16 years before he decided to come out as gay to his wife and children.

This was 18 years ago and now, all these years on, he says has a good relationship with his ex-wife and daughters, although at the time there was a lot of pain and anger.

Billy says he always knew he was a gay man but 50 years ago being gay was 'a horrible thing' and he was left with no choice but to try and make a relationship with a woman work.

On coming out Billy says, 'There's a lot of disappointment and guilt and pain and shame. It's not an easy thing to do, there is a way to do it and there is life afterwards.'

You may know Dermot Whelan for his quick wit.

You may know Dermot for his refreshing approach to meditation.

What you don't know about Dermot is that he starts his morning by eating what can only be described as a full dinner at 9am.

Dave is disgusted. His show team are disgusted, but still, Dermot ploughs on.

Dermot is now at the point where he eats a full chicken, A FULL CHICKEN, for breakfast.

It's out of control.

What we also learned is that Dermot's chicken obsession did land him an elusive Nando's Black Card, but it was quickly snatched away from him, which is why the man has been reduced to scouring the aisles of a local supermarket first thing in the morning to buy a full rotisserie chicken.

‘My heart had packed it’s bags and the taxi was outside’

When Today FM's Ed Smith had a heart attack last year his whole world changed.

Ed says looking back he can see he was living a life that put him at risk of having a heart attack but that he hadn't really faced into it.

Ed lost both his parents to heart attacks while they were both quite young, and says that even though he knew he was at risk he continued to smoke socially and wasn't as careful as he could have been when it came to his lifestyle.

Immediately after the heart attack Ed felt the need to speak up about what had happened so that he could help others realise how prevalent heart disease is in Ireland.

80 percent of premature deaths from cardiovascular disease are preventable by addressing risk factors and Ed wants to get the simple message of becoming heart smart out to as many people as possible.

Speaking to Dermot & Dave Ed said, ‘You’ve got to take care of your heart as well as your head’

‘If you smoke – stop, just stop it… Every cigarette you smoke is putting a minuscule layer of death into your arteries.’

Ed is urging people to get their heart checked to, 'give your heart the best possible chance.’

And this February The Irish Heart Foundation are asking you to Go Red For Women on Valentine’s day.

One in four women in Ireland will die of heart disease, and yet women tend to wait longer to get help before experiencing the first symptoms.
