Monica Leech

On Wednesday, Monica Leech walked away from the high court having been awarded over one point eight million euro, the highest payout to date in the history of the state. Utter vindication is how she described it but others have called the amount she received as absurd. It has taken four and half years for her to clear her name and she joins Miriam to talk all about it.

Keith Duffy approached the artist Rasher to paint a Harley to be auctioned off in aid of Autism Ireland. This charity is close to Keith's heart, as his daughter Mia is autistic. They are on the show, with the Harley in question, to discuss the project plus lots more.

Up and coming Irish band, The Gandhis, from Lucan Co. Dublin perform their new song, Guy Like Me.

Former pop princess, judge on You're a Star and a housemate in Celebrity Big Brother, Michelle Heaton is rarely out of the tabloids, she was seen most recently comforting her friend Jordan after her marriage break up from Peter Andre. She is here to join Miriam on the sofa to discuss life in the spotlight, her new love interest and making Dublin her home.

Over 2000 people are reported missing in Ireland each year. Most are thankfully found relatively quickly but for some families the wait never ends. For a five year period in the 90s six women vanished without a trace in the Leinster region. One of those women was 19 year old Deirdre Jacob and her parents Michael and Bernie Jacob join Miriam in studio. With them to talk about other missing persons cases is author of the book, Searching, Valerie Cox.
