This week on Nicky Byrne HQ, Nicky chats to 1997 World Snooker Champion Ken Doherty about the remarkable journey to winning the title at the Crucible. Ken looks back on the pressure of that run, the mindset needed to stay calm under the spotlight, and the incredible welcome he received when he brought the trophy home to Dublin. He also reflects on discovering snooker as a young kid, the early days practising in local clubs, and the lasting influence of his father and family along the way.

In this special New Year's Day episode, Nicky takes a moment to thank everyone who has listened, shared and supported the podcast in 2025, looks ahead to the Westlife tour in 2026, and revisits one of our favourite conversations of the year. Recorded earlier in 2025, this classic chat with Coleen Rooney is warm, honest and full of laughs. Coleen reflects on her life and career, from her childhood in Liverpool to navigating fame alongside football legend Wayne Rooney, and opens up about her time in the I'm a Celebrity jungle, her new wellness collaboration, and the realities of raising four boys in the public eye.

This episode includes a lighthearted chat about health and wellness products. While this is not a paid promotion, our guest, Coleen, is sharing her personal experiences and opinions. Any claims made about health benefits are based on her views and should not be taken as medical advice. If you're considering supplements or lifestyle changes, it's always best to do your own research and consult with a qualified healthcare professional.
