Tralee is gearing up for the 58th year of hosting all those beautiful ladies, as The Rose Of Tralee International Festival 2017 kicks off in the kingdom tomorrow.
Dáithí Ó Sé's preparation for the role is not exactly what you'd think it would be. The Kerry hunk shuns himself away from the limelight, so much so that he goes off the grid and is extremely difficult to pin down come this time of the year; "Ok...we left him here in May...".
Thankfully, the Gift Grub search and rescue team geared up and braved the elements of Carrauntoohil to help find the renegade, but were they ready for what they were about to witness???
Then, with the transformation complete, was the Superhost ready for the challenges posed in a new era of production??
Have a listen to the journey in full here:
