Kevin McGahern Cannot Wait To Unleash The Traitors Ireland New Season

Weekend Breakfast with Alison Curtis

Show Notes

Comedian Kevin McGaughan joins Weekend Breakfast as the cloaked chaos returns, hosting The Traitors Ireland: Uncloaked alongside the brand-new season kicking off tomorrow on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

Anna Daly in for Alison chats to Kevin about last year’s brutal banishments, the intensity of life inside the castle, and why the show’s “herd mentality” can lead to savage group decisions. They also celebrate the uniquely Irish touches—from Siobhán McSweeney’s iconic looks and the Irish language, to Slane Castle and those unforgettable wolfhounds. (Siobhán 4 President!)

Plus: what Kevin loves most on the after-show, the celebrity guests coming up, and whether he’d rather play faithful… or traitor!
