"Having Gordon on board brought a buzz of excitement for us all. He was incredibly personable, chatting with the crew and posing for photographs. He even took the wheel of the ferry for a moment, fully immersed in the experience."

"We're eagerly awaiting his upcoming cookery show, knowing that it will captivate audiences, not only for Gordon's delicious culinary creations but also for showcasing the stunning landscape of the west coast of Ireland," Liam continued.
