Current position:
Cillian is fluent in French, but when it comes to English, we're still figuring that out. While presenting, he occasionally switches between an Irish accent and a French one, keeping everyone on their toes.
Oh, and he swears by the west coast of Ireland as a must-visit destination—though, funnily enough, he's never actually left Dublin himself.
