Mayo man walks from red chair on graham norton show

A MAYO man's story in the red chair on The Graham Norton Show on BBC was deemed good enough to allow him walk away rather than get dumped off it backwards - which is what happens to most who sit in it.

James (Jamie) Geraghty, an aeronautical engineer now living in London but originally from Swinford, impressed Norton and his guests with his tale of the surprise that awaited him behind a hotel bedroom door.

Reacting to his popularity on his Facebook page, Jamie said: 'I did it...I'm internet famous now and I didn't even have to take my clothes off!'
