                                         Welcome to My Therapist Ghosted Me, our bonus episode, and it's a special one this week.
                                         
                                         It's a very special one.
                                         
                                         It's a special one. We've decided we're going to start having guests on.

                                         I feel very special.
                                         
    
                                         I've always wanted to be you
                                         
                                         because obviously I've tried my hardest
                                         
                                         to be in a girl band all my life.
                                         
                                         She has.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Never made it.
                                         
                                         I lived the dream.
                                         
                                         I know.
                                         
    
                                         Were you...
                                         
                                         So come here.
                                         
                                         When did they start the Saturdays
                                         
                                         and when did they finish?
                                         
                                         Well, it started in...
                                         
                                         I auditioned in 2007.
                                         
                                         That long ago.
                                         
                                         Oh my God, yeah.
                                         
    
                                         And then we did our first single the summer of 2008.
                                         
                                         What was the first single?
                                         
                                         It was If This Is Love.
                                         
                                         The one that sticks in my head is...
                                         
                                         Superstar.
                                         
                                         Oh, Ego.
                                         
                                         Ego.
                                         
                                         Yeah, Ego.
                                         
    
                                         I'm surprised you actually got that
                                         
                                         from that singing
                                         
                                         she can hang the song
                                         
                                         if she can't get it
                                         
                                         who can
                                         
                                         and you can actually sing
                                         
                                         which I'm not being bad
                                         
                                         but that's not that common
                                         
    
                                         in bands
                                         
                                         I mean that's why I thought
                                         
                                         I could get into a band
                                         
                                         I can't sing
                                         
                                         I can't really dance
                                         
                                         but you're hot
                                         
                                         but Una can sing
                                         
                                         and she's hot
                                         
    
                                         yeah
                                         
                                         can you dance
                                         
                                         you can dance well I didn't do much
                                         
                                         dancing before the Saturdays
                                         
                                         I'll be honest
                                         
                                         I was gigging
                                         
                                         and with the guitar
                                         
                                         literally in the corner
                                         
    
                                         like doing gigs
                                         
                                         with the guitar
                                         
                                         so when I had to actually
                                         
                                         perform and dance
                                         
                                         at the audition
                                         
                                         I thought
                                         
                                         this is my weakness now
                                         
                                         I might not get in
                                         
    
                                         because of this
                                         
                                         because some girls
                                         
                                         like flat out
                                         
                                         like you don't know
                                         
                                         how to train
                                         
                                         but luckily
                                         
                                         the dance moves
                                         
                                         were not that hard
                                         
    
                                         in the Saturdays
                                         
                                         they were quite simple I don't know what it was trained but luckily the dance moves were not that hard in the Saturdays they were quite simple
                                         
                                         I don't know what it was but I remember
                                         
                                         you girls on Saturdays being like god
                                         
                                         why not me but I don't even like dancing
                                         
                                         or singing well in fairness to Vogue that's not true
                                         
                                         we have seen some footage that
                                         
                                         we haven't shown anyone yet of Vogue
                                         
    
                                         hip hop dancing at 14 practicing
                                         
                                         and she was recording herself in her sitting room
                                         
                                         we all did street dancing
                                         
                                         in school yeah that was it was street dance so I wasn't you know like we all did street dancing in school yeah that was

                                         so I wasn't that bad at it
                                         
                                         we did line dancing in school
                                         
    
                                         there was the line dance craze
                                         
                                         yeah

                                         I never did Irish dancing
                                         
                                         I never did Irish dancing

                                         this is what I was going to say
                                         
                                         years ago
                                         
    
                                         like when everyone was young
                                         
                                         it was like what do you want to be
                                         
                                         when you grow up
                                         
                                         a pop star
                                         
                                         you know
                                         
                                         but like now
                                         
                                         I'm telling you now
                                         
                                         little girls now
                                         
    
                                         are watching the 2v
                                         
                                         going I want to be them
                                         
                                         that's kind of how it's shifted you know it's changed you know it's like I still want to be a pop star, you know? But like now, I'm telling you now, little girls now are watching the 2B going, I want to be them.
                                         
                                         That's kind of how it's shifted.
                                         
                                         You know, it's changed.
                                         
                                         You know, it's like... I still want to be a pop star.
                                         
                                         They're definitely not saying
                                         
                                         they want to be me.
                                         
    
                                         But I do think there is,
                                         
                                         like when Vogue was talking

                                         if they were like Joanne McNally's in a cult and I look like that in the photo I was in some sort of harem or cult if they were like

                                         but no one else

                                         because I don't
                                         
                                         and I think it's nice
                                         
                                         for people to know
                                         
    
                                         the actual truth of it
                                         
                                         you've always been
                                         
                                         quite discreet
                                         
                                         because when your husband
                                         
                                         was acting the maggot,
                                         
                                         you never said it.
                                         
                                         You never said a thing.
                                         
                                         Never said a word.
                                         
    
                                         And I was like, look at Anna Healy.
                                         
                                         She's like a diplomat.
                                         
                                         She never said a thing.
                                         
                                         I think a lot of people just knew,
                                         
                                         so I didn't need to say anything.
                                         
                                         You didn't need to say it.
                                         
                                         I didn't have to say anything.

                                         Because I did a Google and I was like, well, I'm probably going from the frying pan into the fire with this fella because he did exactly to his wife what my ex-husband did to me.
                                         
                                         Oh, okay.

                                         he was seeing.
                                         
                                         He was like,
                                         
                                         I was very aware
                                         
                                         that he was seeing other people.
                                         
                                         But I feel like that's kind of like the start of relationships but at least I knew he was honest
                                         
    
                                         and that's the thing so it's not like I was being cheated on and I was like well you know it's like
                                         
                                         I know he's not husband material so this is just a bit of fun yeah and I was enjoying it yeah and
                                         
                                         then as time went on just from conversations and little things and when the phone would ring and
                                         
                                         I'd see her name light up the ex-girlfriend was back on the scene
                                         
                                         Is that Sian?

                                         and I was like
                                         
                                         so what's going on there
                                         
    
                                         and he was like
                                         
                                         well she's very involved
                                         
                                         in my life
                                         
                                         she knows a lot of the stuff
                                         
                                         what I'm working on
                                         
                                         she's kind of involved in that
                                         
                                         and yeah she is around
                                         
                                         so he said
                                         
    
                                         because you're very special to me
                                         
                                         and she's very special to me
                                         
                                         I think it's important
                                         
                                         that she meet each other
                                         
                                         at some point
                                         
                                         and I wasn't fond of the idea
                                         
                                         I was like
                                         
                                         no I'm happy just seeing you when I see you.
                                         
    
                                         She doesn't need to be around.
                                         
                                         She gets enough time with you.
                                         
                                         Can I just have you on my own when I get to see you?
                                         
                                         And then he was like, no, I think it's really important that you do meet her.
                                         
                                         And I think he kept saying, she really wants to meet you too.
                                         
                                         And then I was thinking, oh, do you know what?
                                         
                                         Because they've been pictures in the past.
                                         
                                         And as his girlfriend, I was thinking, well, if we're ever pap sometime
                                         
    
                                         and I'm with him
                                         
                                         or no,
                                         
                                         it's just me and him,
                                         
                                         it could come out
                                         
                                         that he's cheating
                                         
                                         on her with me.
                                         
                                         That was my first instinct
                                         
                                         to go,
                                         
    
                                         well, maybe I should meet her
                                         
                                         and then at least
                                         
                                         if we're all pictured together,
                                         
                                         we're all a happy family.
                                         
                                         Do you know what I mean?
                                         
                                         It's like there's nothing
                                         
                                         sinister going on.
                                         
                                         And they weren't
                                         
    
                                         going out at this time.

                                         he never really

                                         you weren't romantic with her
                                         
                                         I wasn't romantic with her
                                         
                                         I don't really know her
                                         
                                         you know

                                         that they were
                                         
                                         kind of seeing each other as well?
                                         
                                         I knew she was
                                         
                                         very involved in his life
                                         
                                         but like as I said
                                         
    
                                         he's
                                         
                                         very open in relationship
                                         
                                         anyway
                                         
                                         At least he's being honest
                                         
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         this is the thing
                                         
                                         there's the honesty there
                                         
                                         I think that's what
                                         
    
                                         I found attractive too
                                         
                                         but I did get on
                                         
                                         really well with him
                                         
                                         and I remember like
                                         
                                         sitting on the plane
                                         
                                         on the way over
                                         
                                         to Morocco
                                         
                                         literally
                                         
    
                                         I got the window seat

                                         I said to him

                                         and he said don't worry so am I doing? And he goes, you're having a midlife crisis.
                                         
    
                                         And he said, don't worry, so am I.
                                         
                                         I was like, well, she's not because she's 10 years younger.

                                         But I can totally understand the, especially, you're in something new.

                                         He's very charismatic.
                                         
    
                                         He's offering us a kind of a modern way of looking at relationships.
                                         
                                         Oh, he's very modern with it.

                                         for months
                                         
                                         and literally in the paper
                                         
                                         nearly every single day
                                         
                                         used as clickbait
                                         
    
                                         as being in this throuple
                                         
                                         that was existing

                                         but in principle
                                         
                                         and in reality
                                         
                                         I'm actually at home in Thurles looking after and in reality I'm actually
                                         
                                         at home
                                         
                                         in Thurles
                                         
    
                                         looking after my kids
                                         
                                         when I'm
                                         
                                         I tell you
                                         
                                         I got trolled to death
                                         
                                         did you?
                                         
                                         I got absolutely
                                         
                                         trolled to death
                                         
                                         I would have thought that
                                         
    
                                         I know but
                                         
                                         I think it's
                                         
                                         in this day and age
                                         
                                         people are just
                                         
                                         throwing shade at you
                                         
                                         because they just
                                         
                                         they see you as someone
                                         
                                         who's just in this
                                         
    
                                         modern relationship
                                         
                                         he's allowed to have it
                                         
                                         as a modern relationship
                                         
                                         where you're seen as somebody who's like
                                         
                                         not supposed to be doing
                                         
                                         something like that. Yeah but it wasn't what they labelled me you know it just wasn't
                                         
                                         because if you google that word
                                         
                                         because I actually can't even bring myself
                                         
    
                                         to say it it's a romantic relationship
                                         
                                         between three people and there was
                                         
                                         troubles coming forward like going

                                         we had a trouble but they were really proud of it and they should be that's
                                         
                                         what they're in and they're happy in
                                         
                                         but I was labelled the wrong
                                         
                                         that wasn't what it was

                                         of lifestyle
                                         
                                         so I think people
                                         
                                         project their shame
                                         
                                         I really do
                                         
                                         and I think that's a lot
                                         
                                         of what it was
                                         
                                         there's that and there's judgment as well.
                                         
    
                                         There's judgment.
                                         
                                         Or just society and everything else.
                                         
                                         But they're projecting.
                                         
                                         It's judgment on themselves.
                                         
                                         Because they're like, hold on, if I have to abide by these rules of monogamy and all that shit, why doesn't Una Healey?
                                         
                                         But I also think that people just are very opinionated on things that they just don't know anything about.
                                         
                                         And I think, I look at you and I'm like, fair play.
                                         
                                         You're down in Thurlis and you want to go and have fun.
                                         
    
                                         You're back and forth to London
                                         
                                         and you're seeing a guy that is seeing other people,
                                         
                                         but you don't mind because you're not into a full-time relationship.
                                         
                                         So you went home.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I came home in January.
                                         
                                         So the last I've seen of David,
                                         
                                         and we've only been in touch here and there,
                                         
                                         I said, he calls it unsubscribing from the team.
                                         
    
                                         So I had to tell him. Because you have a spreadsheet. I got back and I was like, I've unsubscribing from the team. So I had to tell him.
                                         
                                         Does he have a spreadsheet?
                                         
                                         I got back and I was like, I've unsubscribed.
                                         
                                         And he was like, OK, fair enough.
                                         
                                         He goes, you do you.
                                         
                                         Do what makes you happy.
                                         
                                         And he always says that.
                                         
                                         He says, I'm just living my truth.
                                         
    
                                         I'm my authentic self, he said.
                                         
                                         And this is who he is.
                                         
                                         And so I unsubscribed, came back to Ireland in January.
                                         
                                         But as I said
                                         
                                         like yeah

                                         so I got back

                                         you're not with him anymore
                                         
                                         why are you doing that
                                         
                                         I was like I don't, I don't know.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         And then I did another one.
                                         
                                         Like, you know when you do a post
                                         
    
                                         but delete it afterward?
                                         
                                         It's actually like the picture.
                                         
                                         It's like, I thought it was cute.
                                         
                                         Might delete later.
                                         
                                         Well, there was a lot of that going on, you know?
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         So I put one up of just me and him
                                         
                                         and it was like really philosophical.
                                         
    
                                         I was like, it was only him, you know?
                                         
                                         But I deleted it again.
                                         
                                         Oh, but they'd already
                                         
                                         seen it
                                         
                                         oh of course
                                         
                                         the
                                         
                                         the press had already
                                         
                                         seen it
                                         
    
                                         screen grabbed it
                                         
                                         oh because you were
                                         
                                         trying to say
                                         
                                         it was only him
                                         
                                         you were only with him
                                         
                                         yeah I was trying
                                         
                                         to explain that
                                         
                                         but I didn't do
                                         
    
                                         a great job
                                         
                                         I think that's
                                         
                                         I think that kind of
                                         
                                         says it all
                                         
                                         it was only him
                                         
                                         yeah so I said that
                                         
                                         and then
                                         
                                         oh sure just
                                         
    
                                         that was back in February
                                         
                                         and look where we are now
                                         
                                         they still haven't
                                         
                                         anything like literally
                                         
                                         if I made a fart
                                         
                                         they'd link it back to him
                                         
                                         yeah
                                         
                                         I think the worst for me
                                         
    
                                         was some people
                                         
                                         were there
                                         
                                         with the judgment
                                         
                                         where they're kind of like going
                                         
                                         the poor kids the poor kids the poor kids, the poor kids, the poor kids.
                                         
                                         Like that's just so nasty because.
                                         
                                         And I'm just standing up for myself here because I look after and love my children so well.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         So I'm so proud to be their mother and they're proud that I'm their mother.
                                         
                                         So I just felt that that was that was really horrible.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I think that that it was the media that kind of pushed them to say those things. Because it's how they headline things.
                                         
                                         I don't think it's fair the way they did that.
                                         
                                         If I'm being honest, I actually have not, I've really hated the first half of this year.
                                         
                                         And I haven't been able to enjoy it.
                                         
                                         I've been really upset about it.
                                         
    
                                         But luckily, back in my hometown, nobody looked at me differently.
                                         
                                         Nobody gave me weird remarks or any of that.
                                         
                                         There was these sources coming forward then
                                         
                                         and saying things that weren't true.
                                         
                                         And that's where I had to draw the line.
                                         
                                         I was like, if anything more is said here,
                                         
                                         I'm going to have to take some sort of legal action
                                         
                                         because I can't have my name trashed about the place.
                                         
    
                                         Well, then he did.
                                         
                                         But then he did that post.
                                         
                                         So he did a post, Joanne,
                                         
                                         where he like basically put up a picture
                                         
                                         and said, we're looking for a new team.
                                         
                                         Yeah, he said there's an opening in the team
                                         
                                         because I let it slip. I was at a library event for team member of our team there's an opening in the team because I let it slip
                                         
                                         I was at a library event
                                         
    
                                         for International Women's Day
                                         
                                         and there was a journalist
                                         
                                         in the audience
                                         
                                         that I wasn't aware of
                                         
                                         and then I was just asked
                                         
                                         about being a single parent

                                         and they did a two page spread
                                         
    
                                         on that little one thing
                                         
                                         that I said

                                         and ready to mingle
                                         
                                         I'm putting it out there
                                         
    
                                         that I'm doing the same
                                         
                                         so he did
                                         
                                         and then it kind of
                                         
                                         brought the whole thing
                                         
                                         back around again
                                         
                                         so I think
                                         
                                         like you're living
                                         
                                         your best life
                                         
    
                                         you haven't done anything wrong
                                         
                                         anyone can be
                                         
                                         whoever they want to be
                                         
                                         or be in the kind of relationship
                                         
                                         they want to be in
                                         
                                         but like your thing is
                                         
                                         you were with one person
                                         
                                         you weren't in a relationship
                                         
    
                                         with three people.
                                         
                                         No, I wasn't.
                                         
                                         Two other people.
                                         
                                         And I really enjoyed
                                         
                                         my relationship with him
                                         
                                         and he is actually
                                         
                                         a really nice guy.
                                         
                                         He was very kind to me,
                                         
    
                                         very honest,
                                         
                                         but it ran its course.
                                         
                                         And I've been single ever since.
                                         
                                         I haven't been on a date.
                                         
                                         I went back on the app
                                         
                                         for a while and had,
                                         
                                         oh Jesus.
                                         
                                         We were talking about
                                         
    
                                         the fish in the sea.
                                         
                                         The swamp.
                                         
                                         It is tough when you get
                                         
                                         to my age
                                         
                                         in the dating world. It's not like when you're younger and it's like, there's loads of fish in the sea because that it is tough when you get to my age in the dating world
                                         
                                         it's not like when you're younger
                                         
                                         and it's like
                                         
                                         there's loads of fish in the sea
                                         
    
                                         because that's an expression isn't it
                                         
                                         but there actually isn't
                                         
                                         because a lot of the good ones
                                         
                                         are caught
                                         
                                         and taken
                                         
                                         now I've always said though
                                         
                                         I would never have swiped on Spenny
                                         
                                         like not in any bad way
                                         
    
                                         he just wouldn't have been my type
                                         
                                         had I not met him in real life
                                         
                                         I don't think I would have met him online
                                         
                                         and been like
                                         
                                         I want to be with you
                                         
                                         so I think
                                         
                                         that's the tough thing about online dating I've only ever have met him online and been like I want to be with you so I think that's a tough thing
                                         
                                         about online dating
                                         
    
                                         I've only ever fallen
                                         
                                         for people I've been
                                         
                                         kind of forced
                                         
                                         to spend time with
                                         
                                         and that's the truth
                                         
                                         that's the God's honest truth
                                         
                                         that I was kind of
                                         
                                         forced to spend time with
                                         
    
                                         that's so true actually
                                         
                                         yeah
                                         
                                         yeah well I think
                                         
                                         that the dating apps
                                         
                                         are like
                                         
                                         if you go into a restaurant
                                         
                                         and it's always a bad sign
                                         
                                         when the menu
                                         
    
                                         there's like
                                         
                                         nearly every single
                                         
                                         option on there that you can imagine they've got it all that's not a bad sign when the menu there's like nearly every single option on
                                         
                                         there that you can imagine they've got they've got it all that's not a good sign there's too much
                                         
                                         and then they show when they show the pictures as well it's even worse because you know the food's

                                         my friend who passed away last year,
                                         
                                         she always said to me, Una, stop looking.
                                         
                                         You're looking and looking and you're finding the wrong ones
                                         
                                         and you're attracting, you know, because you're looking,
                                         
                                         all the wrong ones are like literally like a beacon.
                                         
                                         I think being set up by somebody is nice.
                                         
                                         Let's think about that.
                                         
                                         I think that's actually a really good way to do it.
                                         
    
                                         I want to meet someone naturally.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I'm going to have a little think about that.
                                         
                                         The triple thing.
                                         
                                         It sounds to me like you were just involved
                                         
                                         in a casual relationship
                                         
                                         with the guy you met on radio
                                         
                                         yeah
                                         
                                         who was also in a
                                         
    
                                         that's it
                                         
                                         this sound to me
                                         
                                         sounds very much like
                                         
                                         this was his narrative to push
                                         
                                         that he wanted people thinking
                                         
                                         that this is what it was
                                         
                                         yeah
                                         
                                         and he's kind of
                                         
    
                                         I think he's very happy about it
                                         
                                         of course he is
                                         
                                         he looks like
                                         
                                         whereas I was in bits about it
                                         
                                         it's only different for men and women.
                                         
                                         He looks like a hero
                                         
                                         and then people pile on the two women.
                                         
                                         And he didn't get it.
                                         
    
                                         Like he was like,
                                         
                                         oh, he was always really trying to coach me
                                         
                                         and trying to not get upset.
                                         
                                         And he was like,
                                         
                                         why do you worry so much
                                         
                                         about what people think?
                                         
                                         And I said, it's not really that.
                                         
                                         It's more what they're actually saying to me.
                                         
    
                                         I've never had to hit the block button so much.
                                         
                                         I was literally like,
                                         
                                         block, block, block, block.
                                         
                                         That's horrible.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And I had to like,
                                         
                                         you know, in Instagram,
                                         
                                         I didn't even know you could do this,
                                         
    
                                         but you can actually make a list of words that you don't want.
                                         
                                         So say people comment and they're calling you certain names.
                                         
                                         So the reason then there wasn't as many nasty comments written was because I have my list of words blocked.
                                         
                                         I didn't think you could, but that's how much I've learned.
                                         
                                         But I don't know, I'm glad to know what it's like out there and what it feels like to be.
                                         
                                         And you know what, they wouldn't come up to your face
                                         
                                         and say it
                                         
                                         they just wouldn't
                                         
    
                                         because not one person
                                         
                                         not one person said a word to me
                                         
                                         well I'm so glad
                                         
                                         that you've come on now
                                         
                                         and you've had
                                         
                                         like it was like
                                         
                                         again because you were so good
                                         
                                         with your marriage breakup
                                         
    
                                         and everything like that
                                         
                                         you just kept silent about it
                                         
                                         and then you kind of did it with this
                                         
                                         but it's nice to just get across
                                         
                                         your own side of the story
                                         
                                         and that's kind of it
                                         
                                         because to clear that up
                                         
                                         as well that there was
                                         
    
                                         the report that they
                                         
                                         concocted was that
