‘You leave calm as a breeze’
However, the RTE presenter (49) said he will celebrate his 50th birthday by sitting in silence in the west of Ireland for 10 days. The performer will head to a Buddhist centre in Clare for his birthday on June 16 as he adopts a Zen-like approach to entering a new decade. He said his birthday would be spent not talking but meditating for nine hours a day and eating nothing after lunchtime. None of his pals took up the invitation to join him. "It takes three days for the scales of culture to fall off you," Tiernan said. "We're all so busy and we're all flying around. It takes three days of sitting still looking at a spot on the floor for your body to kind of come back to itself." He said the following three days were spent in "moral and psychic panic" but that the end result was more than worth it. "The final four days, you're kind of coming to some sense of yourself. You leave calm as a breeze," he said. Tiernan spent 10 years as a strict teetotaller after giving up his hell-raising … [Read more...] about ‘You leave calm as a breeze’

‘I can’t ever unsee that’
In Saturday's episode of the programme, yoga teacher Kath Thompson mocks the outgoing Prime Minister's dodgy dance moves with a routine that has the judges and the audience in stitches. Opening the show, Thompson is filmed leaving 10 Downing Street in leopard print heels before arriving at the London Palladium. Wearing a grey wig, she bursts onto the stage wearing a red jacket - similar to Mrs May's recognisable garment - to Abba's Dancing Queen. The performer mimics Mrs May's dance moves, failing to move in time to the music, before whipping her trousers off, leaving her legs bare. Throughout the fun-filled routine, she continues to remove items of clothing to reveal a skimpy cut-out leotard as Simon Cowell and his fellow judges watch on in shock. Thompson, 56, ends the routine by waving the Union flag and the European Union flag in the air. Host Declan Donnelly jokes that he "can't ever unsee that". Following a standing ovation, Cowell tells Thompson: "That was unbelievable. The fact … [Read more...] about ‘I can’t ever unsee that’
