Finding a name to go with Bowe is difficult - Harry Bowe, Dickie Bowe, or Wayne Bowe just don't sound right.

Off the back of his stint as the Anchorman of Eir Sport for the Rugby World Cup, Tommy Bowe dropped by the studio to tell Mairead all about his musical ventures when he was in school.

What started as a clever ploy to get out of class, Tommy took up the saxophone but ended up having to do weekly performances of the Pink Panther in front of the whole school!

Tommy and Mairead also gave some us some behind the scenes insight on their time filming 'Getaways' - can you guess who got to stay in a luxury campervan while the other had to camp in a tent?
