The Shape I'm In: Aidan Power makes it look easy

WHEN Aidan Power stands in front of the cameras — all smiles and bullet-speed delivery — at the O2 Arena to present The Hit, it looks as if he hasn’t a care in the world.

“You just get used to it,” he says of the phenomenal pressure. “It’s that well-worn cliche about the swan — you’ve got to look graceful but underneath the feet are paddling like mad. But you’re on your game and make it look very relaxed.”

Power co-presents the show with former Westlife star Nicky Byrne. It’s a tight operation. “You can’t be making it up as you go along. It’s a huge production and to get a show like that on air takes a lot of work and a fair bit of rehearsal.”
