About: Now, here's the kind of guy that likes to blame everything on his sleepwalking habit. Shane is adamant that a mistaken tumble into the bed of his ex-girlfriend's mother-in-law was in no way a fault of his own. "An experience that neither I nor her mother will ever forget," he jokes. Shane's account of a post-midnight wander gone awry might seem more believable if he weren't such a fan of the ladies. Indeed, the Donegal native reckons that a good woman would be his only requirement if left stranded on a desert island.
