It's Giving Adare Manor Energy

Shane is back in the studio and catching you up on everything he has been up to over the past week. He dives straight into the chaos and the craic as he fills you in on life lately. One of the big highlights was his Come Dine With Us special in aid of breast cancer at the stunning Adare Manor. He talks through the night, the people he met, the vibe, and the whole experience from his side of the table. After spending the day recording with professionals he says he left feeling like he could walk straight onto the set of the extenders and claim his big TV moment.

He also opens up about how busy life has been and how he is trying to keep some kind of balance while being away so much. He talks about missing home and his friends, the guilt that comes with that, and the reminder he gives himself daily that these are the things he once prayed for.

He chats about the importance of not comparing yourself to how other people handle things because everyone moves through life differently. Then he goes off on a gas tangent about Christmas, joking about wanting to put up the tree already and putting out a plea for anyone willing to donate one after discovering his mother threw theirs out.

He gives a sweet update on how things are going with his new boyfriend before diving into a bigger conversation around food and comfort. He talks about why people feel awkward eating in front of someone new and opens up about his own past, from being really overweight to going too skinny, and the long road to finding a healthy and happy middle ground. He reminds everyone that food is fuel and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

And of course he is buzzing for D Block Europe with his bestie, already imagining the night and the madness ahead.
