This much I know: Darren Frehill

Growing up, Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh and Jimmy Magee were the voices in my head. I pretended to be them. Now I feel honoured to be following in their footsteps.

My shift on Morning Ireland starts at 5am and there is not one morning that I don’t wake up and jump out of bed, excited to start the day. And Sunday Sport is one of the longest-running sports shows in the world.

Growing up in Galway, I was obsessed with sport. My mum and dad split up when I was 10. I was the eldest of four and had a lot of responsibility placed on my shoulders at a young age. It affected me and I was quite angry growing up. I developed some behavioural issues and got into a little trouble. Sport became an escape for me.
