Back in April last year Mairead spoke to Niamh Sherwin-Barry of the Irish Fairy Door Company and she gave away loads of fairy doors to brighten up people's 2km radius.

Niamh was back on the show today to talk about something very different - she shared her and her husband Oisín's story about having their family home re-possessed back in 2014.

In the crash of 2008, everything changed for Niamh and Oisín overnight and they were left fighting tooth and nail to keep their home as their mortgage was sold from one vulture fund to another.

After nearly 7 years, they lost their home but they managed to hang on to hope that things would change and there is a happy ending to their story.
