Sleeping in caves was 'surprisingly nice' - Leo Varadkar on his 'gap year' and new RTE series
Briefly

In the inaugural episode of Uncharted, Leo Varadkar journeys through South Africa's Drakensberg mountains with singer Lyra and host Ray Goggins. Initially hesitant about stepping outside his comfort zone during a 'gap year', Varadkar completed numerous challenges, including climbing mountains with ropes and living outdoors. Despite the tough conditions, he embraced the experience and ultimately overcame fears, leading to personal growth. Goggins emphasizes the show's goal of pushing celebrities to experience life without modern conveniences, revealing insights into their resilience and adaptability.
"I have to confess I haven't actually seen the finished product yet, so I hope I don't look too vulnerable, but it was challenging."
"The physical challenges were genuinely really hard. I've never climbed a mountain with ropes or harnesses or things like that before."
