<p>In this special Christmas episode, we take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has listened, shared and supported the podcast in 2025, before revisiting one of the conversations that means the most to Nicky. Recorded during the early days of the show, this classic chat with Tony Mortimer is honest, funny and deeply moving. Tony reflects on his life and career with East 17, and opens up about the true story behind <em>Stay Another Day</em>, a song that became a Christmas number one and went on to mean far more than chart success.</p><br><p><em>Nicky Byrne HQ is produced by Studz Entertainments in association with SwanMcG Productions.</em></p><br><p>Nicky Byrne HQ is out every Thursday.
