Tommy joined the breakfast show team in 2020.
Former rugby star Tommy Bowe has told how he was “slagged” when he landed the role as presenter on Ireland AM “because he never read a newspaper before”.
“They couldn’t believe it. They would have seen me in the changing room and known I had never read a newspaper before, so they would have asked what the hell I was going to talk about. I had to be a quick learner, and that is the beauty of Ireland AM. “There was some slagging alright, they couldn’t believe it when I started the clothes and shoes. But once they got a few pairs they were very happy.”“I get up at 4.05am and I am generally in studio for 5.45am. I don’t sleep very well, and I have kids who are up through the night, they are aged seven and four.
“It is a long way, but I can get all of the prep work done in the car by listening to the news and to podcasts. I generally call into the warehouse for the clothes and shoes for an hour on the way back up the road. I make phone calls too.Tommy also opened up about pursuing Meta after the social media giant allowed scam ads using his face to be posted on their websites.“We contacted Meta through a lawyer, and it was very difficult to get a hold of them.
