He turned to drugs to self-medicate as a teenager and fell in with the wrong crowd but now wants to follow his heart instead of the crowd. "There’s a lot of ups and downs with Tadgh but behind it all he’s a wonderful soul and has so much potential. He definitely has it and would be a brilliant coach, The last few years took a lot out of him. Tadgh, 19, grew up in one of the most underprivileged areas of Ireland and recently lost his best friend to suicide, which devastated him. I definitely saw a transformation in Brendan and he’s on the right track. Davy says: “Brendan is such a wonderful fella who’s a real giver and would do anything for you and give you the shirt off his back. He blew Davy and the group away when he told his heart-breaking story through rap instead of telling it. "It’s very important to take the time to understand Rob and when he talks about music, he brings his whole life into it. He’s now seven months clean and wants to get to know the man he lost during years of drug abuse. People get into a hole and there’s nothing you can do but figure out things yourself and he took that on.” I can see he is a leader and he showed it.” He’s so much to offer, kept to the fore when we needed him in challenges and nothing fazed him.
