The shock-jock who became the housewives’ champion

HIS most recent Ryan Confidential show aired just two nights ago and featured a raucous interview with the controversial ex-wife of Paul McCartney, Heather Mills.

The interview, though at times painful to watch, was characteristic of Ryan’s style – forthright, jovial and utterly honest.

Ryan – though gaffe prone – was a truly natural broadcaster who didn’t shy away from the truth, and while the content of his 2fm show was often of the less serious nature, he was not afraid to take on serious issues and often campaigned on health and social matters.
