Radio star Ray D’Arcy wonders where his life went wrong – after starting to learn how to unicycle.
The Today FM presenter took up the mad-cap hobby while he was off on a week of holiday’s from his radio show last week.
And Ray – who turns 50 in September – doesn’t plan on giving up on the uncycling yet after finding it a great workout.
“It’s difficult. I’d say it’s easier to learn how to unicycle than it is how to swim. So I’ve done two sessions,” he explained.

“I got to two revolutions without holding on. You would be surprised how much of a workout it is.
“I was sweating yesterday. I didn’t take any lessons – and if I manage to do it, I’ll be a self-taught unicyclist.
“I was in the middle of it yesterday, I’m doing it at the side of the house because there’s a fence at the right height that I can hold on to.

“And I was falling off, and looking a bit stupid. But the next door neighbour, his son is 13 and he is an amazing pianist. So he was playing this amazing classical piece on the piano, at the age of 13.
“And I’m a man – just hitting 50 – learning to ride a unicycle. And I’m wondering, ‘Where did it all go wrong?’ It’s ongoing, the unicycle training is ongoing, I’m confident I’ll be able to do something.”
It came after Ray revealed that he wanted to get a vasectomy live on air.
