This is a simply fascinating story. Diarmuid talks to Mary McAleese and Mary Kennedy about:
- His absolute misery in and hatred for school,
- Being told he was a dunce and would never amount to anything,
- Being painfully shy until he was 40,
- Dealing with the loss of his little brother Conor in an accident when he was just 5 and his parents being misinformed that it was him,
- Having items repossessed and having to leave his apartment because he was broke,
- Building a garden at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show but having no money to eat,
- The moment that changed everything and his big television break with Alan Titchmarch,
- His adoration for his mother in law Terry Keane and how he feels that her story hasn't been told properly,
- The Strictly Come Dancing experience,
- Presenting Top Of The Pops,
- The public controversy over his "Sky Garden",
- Opening his house to Ukrainian guests.
