Paddy O'Connell.

Film, television and radio
Radio broadcaster and reporter

Paddy’s hit Sunday show Broadcasting House is the breakfast staple for two million listeners to Radio Four.  His career, like the Queen Mary 2 herself, spans both the USA and the UK.   Reporting for years from Wall Street in 2001, he overslept on 9/11 for a meeting at the Twin Towers.  Returning to London, he founded a Royal Marine charity for D Day Veterans with whom he travels to the Normandy beaches each year.  Paddy is the director of an historic pub in Suffolk and can be found most days walking Bob, his Border Terrier.
