SHANE LYNCH

The former Boyzone star, Shane Lynch has now become more famous for his trials and tribulations on reality TV shows. The bookies favourite to win Celebrity Love Island, Shane walked out of the show and left behind a chance to win the stg£100,000 prize money. He told Pat Kenny why he left, addressed the rumours of his impending marriage and spoke of his new-found devotion to Christianity.

Tonight Richard Corrigan returned to face his detractors in a major debate on Irish food featuring Mairead McGuinness MEP, Derek Davis and Dr John O'Brien of the Food Safety Authority. Audience contributions came from Vincent Carton, Irish Poultry Association; Bill Patterson, Food Quality Manager, Tesco; Joseph Finke, an organic farmer and Grainne Murphy, Douglas Food Company.
