Gerry to feature in whacky fridge film

GERRY RYAN is set to be immortalised in film when the movie of the book, Round Ireland With A Fridge, is released later this year.

Best-selling British author Tony Hawks found a champion in the 2FM presenter when he announced his whacky plan to hitch his way around the island with a refrigerator to win a bet in 1997.

Ryan enthusiastically backed the plan, arranging for Hawks to phone in to the radio show every couple of days to update listeners on his progress.
