Last Saturday evening Kathleen found out she was going to be on this week’s show while at work in her car, where she does deliveries for as local Chinese takeaway.

The call came through from her mother, but Kathleen thought it was a practical joke.

When she hung up she saw a few missed calls on her phone from other people who were also congratulating her.

The penny dropped for Kathleen that this was no elaborate joke!

Kathleen delivers for the Village Chinese takeaway on Church Street in Tullamore.

Kathleen has been overwhelmed with the good wishes from all her friends and neighbours.

There was a good mix supporters to cheer her on last Saturday including her mother, Betty, her brother, Michael, and her sister, Eileeen, and her niece, Shannon.
