TV presenter and fashion guru Brendan Courtney reveals that he would "faint and scream" if he was to take part in a certain reality TV show... and I think we would be the same!
Brendan Courtney returns to our screens this Sunday night with a brand new series of Keys to my Life, the show where we get to take a trip down memory lane with some of Ireland's best-known faces.
In the first episode, Brendan meets Fr Brian D'Arcy and coaxes memories from him as they travel back to County Fermanagh to where he grew up. He also revisits Ireland's best-known ballroom where he once heard the confessions of showband stars before they went on stage.
But first, Brendan shares his own viewing habits and his love for Jennifer Aniston.
What was the last thing you watched on TV?
Worth on Netflix.
What TV shows would you recommend to a friend?
I love First Dates, and I love The Undateables, I think they are super feel good and socially responsible.
If you could play any TV character in any TV show who would it be?
I would play Jennifer Aniston's character in The Morning Show, 'cause she’s sassy and smart and I LOVE her!
What TV shows would you watch on repeat?
Saturday Night Live is my late-night YouTube addiction. I also love Will and Grace and I actually have Julia Davis' Nighty Night full series on my iPhone!
Is there any TV show you wish they would reboot?
I would love Julia Davis to do Nighty Night 3 and also MORE FLEABAG, please.
What were your favourite TV shows to watch growing up?
The Muppet Show, then Top of the Pops and The Clothes Show.
What reality TV show would you take part in?
I adored Big Brother and possibly would have done it when I was younger. Now? None! Oh, wait I would totally do Ultimate Hell Week and just scream and faint constantly!
What can you tell us about the new series of Keys to my Life?
It's brilliant! I love our show so much, it's so respectful yet super emotionally charged. We pay homage to national treasures and get to know a different side to them.
What has been the most memorable home you have visited and why?
Spookily, whilst filming with Aine Lawlor, on my way to shoot at her childhood home, my sat nav took me right to the door of MY childhood home, in Coolock. And super weirdly the house has not changed a bit since I left there when I was 8, 40 years ago, Same doors and windows - I got a real chill!
Where and when can people watch Keys to My Life?
Sundays, 8:30pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.
