Kickin' Off with Kevin Egan

Nicky Byrne

Imagine professionally reinventing yourself over and over again, yet consistently being at the top. That's Nicky Byrne! Nicky was a professional footballer with Leeds, before joining one of the most successful boybands ever in Westlife, and now he's an incredible TV and Radio host. Nicky is incredibly humble and sound, and I think you'll love this chat.
