In this brilliant episode Ariana chats to the indomitable reality star, disability rights activist and BBC documentary maker Paddy Smyth. We talk about Paddys challenge throughout life, finding love and acceptance for himself as a gay disabled man living with cerebral palsy. Overcoming adversity and grief through the loss of his parents, his desire to be famous, his foray into reality tv as a contestant on First Dates Ireland in 2017 before going onto win Channel 4's 'The Circle' in the UK in 2019. Paddy recently released an incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking BBC documentary called 'Should I be fixed' about medical advancements for disabled people and the identity that is often wrapped up in their disability, begging the question 'should you fix your disability if you could?'. Paddy proves that being disabled can be empowering and encourages listeners to go out and live your dreams on your own terms. #disability #disabilityrights #diversityandinclusion#gayanddisabled#realitystar#empowering #loveyourself#lovewhatyoudo.

Oh I so loved this conversation, even though I discovered in researching for this interview that I lived 10 minutes away from my next guest for most of our childhoods and teenage years and we went to the same college I only know of Paddy Smyth from what I have seen of him on TV. His biggest gig to date was winning Channel 4's The Circle, based around catfishing and social media the reality show saw him win 70 thousand pounds and a legion of fans but also brought with it a lot of criticism that Paddy had used cerebal palsy to win. Today we talk about how he dealt with this, how it's not the first time he's had to dig deep and push back against bullies and why he's determined to show that having a disability is not something you should have to hide and ultimately you have the same hopes and wishes as anyone else. Why shouldn't we see someone in a disability in a beauty ad or having fun at a festival advertising a beer - Paddy has set himself these goals and smashed these barriers.Prepare to fall in love with him, I did.
