He reflected on his path to fame on the app, being an ambassador for Ireland online, and shared his opinion on the flip-flopping TikTok ban earlier this week. He also spoke with host Patrick Kielty about how much his life has changed, having suffered with agoraphobia.
“I used to suffer from agoraphobia. I started having panic attacks at about 16; one of my friends had died and that sort of started them and they got worse over and over time, over a few years. Eventually got to the point where I couldn't leave the house without having a panic attack. I spent about five years completely housebound, having panic attacks every day.”
He said he was unable to go to the shops and “have panic attacks at work” during his job in a phone shop.
Noone highlighted the importance of discussing anxiety.
