I really liked it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must admit, I find presenting \u2013 I find it very funny because I don\u2019t know how or why I\u2019m doing it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the only negative I\u2019d say about presenting is that I have no role to hide behind, so I feel very sort of vulnerable around it because it\u2019s just me. So that\u2019s weird. I\u2019m not used to be me.<\/p> <p>\u201cBut I love chatting to people and I love all the adventures we got up to, so more of that please. Why not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On what the Derry Girls star would like to explore in another series, she revealed there were a number of places that didn\u2019t make it into the first series that she\u2019d like to showcase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had about, on average, three experiences a day for seven days and we spent a week in each area, we weren\u2019t able to fit everything in. So it wasn\u2019t even a question of places that we missed out on. It\u2019s places and experiences and people and insights that we, for various practical reasons, will not be able to show in this series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m already brokenhearted over the things that we missed in this show that we saw, let alone the places that we didn\u2019t see. I think it\u2019s a testament to how much there is to do in Northern Ireland, I think it\u2019s a testament to the fantastic people and the chats and experiences you can have there.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"&quot;template-article__editor-content\"><strong>Exploring Northern Ireland with Siobhan McSweeney airs Thursday 12th August at 9pm on More4.
