“Dermot O’Leary is a big fan, I wear my suits out when I’m in London and they get commented on a lot.
“Graham Norton has said he absolutely wants one because he said last time and then we never did it,” he told Goss.ie.
“I met up with him a few weeks ago and he said ‘Yeah, I’m up for it if you organise it’ and I said ‘I will if you bloody ring me’.”

While he has many famous men dying to get their hands on his suits, the Dubliner admitted he’s selective about who wears them – as they have to be”the right fit” with the range.
“A few requests have come in from the UK and we’ve turned them down because they weren’t the right fit,” he explained.
“There’s was a few people that would of got us some coverage but they weren’t the right fit in terms of the brand.
