Foxford man steals limelight on Graham Norton Show

IT’S not often you will see a Mayo man and the worldwide best selling book ‘50 Shades of Grey’ in the same sentence.
That all changed last Friday night when Foxford man Daniel Igoe voiced his opinion on the book that has been adapted into what was the most hotly anticipated film so far this year.
An audience member on The Graham Norton Show, Dan outed himself as the only man in the audience to have read the steamy EL James book, referred to by some critics as ‘mummy porn’.
Asked by host Graham Norton if he liked the books, Daniel replied candidly, ‘No, they were sh**e ’. To make matters all the more humorous, star of the film Jamie Dornan was one of the guests on the popular UK chat show.
Dan, who lives in the UK, explained the lead up to events on Today FM’s ‘Anton Savage Show’ yesterday (Monday).
Asked if he had ‘really’ read the books, Daniel admitted that he had only read the first book because his girlfriend had it on holidays in America and he had nothing to do on a bus journey.
Igoe told Anton Savage that he didn’t think he would be spotted when he put his hand up, but actor Stephen Mangan saw him.
Who knows what’s in store for the Foxford man next, perhaps a literary critic role specialising in Mills and Boon!
