Jennifer Zamparelli: 'I had a very close friend who went through heroin addiction and sought recovery when they were in their early 20s'

Jennifer Zamparelli, host of Dancing With The Stars Ireland, speaks openly about her past abusive relationship and her journey to personal happiness. As an ambassador for the Coolmine drug and alcohol treatment centre, she aims to raise awareness about addiction, drawing from her own experiences. The conversation shifts to the recent shake-up at 2FM, where several stars, including Zamparelli, departed the station, sparking discussions about the culture within radio and the importance of prioritizing mental health and personal well-being in professional choices.

"I want to use my platform to raise awareness about the struggles many face with addiction, especially after my own experiences of overcoming the dark times in life."

"Leaving 2FM felt like a huge step, but it was necessary for my personal growth and happiness. Sometimes you have to make difficult choices for your well-being."
