Shape I’m In: Alan Shatter, TD

AS GUEST chef, TD Alan Shatter worked 12 hours straight on the day The Restaurant was filmed. But this was small fry for the former Justice Minister.

“Compared to my normal working day and the engagements I had in past years, 12 hours to me is easy,” he says.

“My day would start between 5am and 5.30am and regularly finish between 10pm and 11pm at night. There was the odd mad day when we went on to one o’clock in the morning.”
