Hector Ó'Heochagáin has probably worked abroad more than any other guest on An Irishman Abroad with his multi award-winning TV shows taking him to almost 100 countries. This week he uses his incredible ability to tell a good story to explain the journey that has taken him to where he is today. Hector speaks about the moment he realised live on air that the Irish public finally 'got' him, hanging with Bertie Ahern for a week, following his first love and eventual wife to Spain, being in the classroom when Navan's most legendary English teacher helped to discover the talents of Tommy Tiernan and Dylan Moran, as well as revealing when he will return to the airwaves.
Hector also discusses that hand-written letter from Daniel Day Lewis that he kept hidden from RTÉ, living in isolation on Inis Mór, accidentally ending up in Lourdes, his most bizarre day behind the bars of a Bolivian high security prison, the unbelievable highs and the devastating lows of getting inside horse racing.
