Ryan reveals why he’s finally said yes to Celebrity Gogglebox Ireland, who’ll be joining him on the sofa, and why he’s already cleaning the house like a lunatic. Plus, a rummage through his personal archive turns up letters from Maeve Binchy and photographs with Bono, Queen Elizabeth II, and plenty more familiar faces. There are new book recommendations, autumn enthusiasm, memories of the Orient Express, and the one person Ryan would still love to interview.
