Current job: Co-presenter of the breakfast show, Orla and Trev @ Breakfast, on southeast radio station Beat 102-103.

What schools did you go to? St Anthony's Boys NS in Kilcoole, Co Wicklow and Presentation College, Bray.

Best subject? It's a toss-up between English, history and French.

Worst subject? Anything to do with theorems, maths logbooks or reproductive organs and I switched off!

Who was your favourite teacher and why? When I repeated my Leaving Certificate my English and geography teacher and my French teacher were my favourites because they had a real passion for what they taught.

Who was the object of your first crush? I already reveal far too much on the radio show, but this is one fact that you will never get out of me - too scared of the possible legal outcome.

What was your earliest career ambition? I wanted to be a train driver, then a teacher and then a newsreader.

Were you cool or nerdy at school? Somewhere in the middle ground, but I was never friends with the really in-gang.

Did you go to college? I went to college, but left in second year when I got a job presenting AA Roadwatch. It was too good an opportunity to pass up.

What song most reminds you of your school days? Us and Them from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

What would you look for when choosing a school for your own children? I would love to be a fluent Irish speaker, so that would be an important factor. I also think that mixed schools are a better grounding for children.

Were your schooldays the best days of your life? No way! The last year has been one of the best years of my life, for both personal and professional reasons.
