Broadcaster, podcaster and presenter Louise Cantillon admits she's worried about what the neighbours in her hometown will think when they see her performing as a burlesque dancer in her new TV show.
The radio and podcast host is one of three presenters - four including new sub Laura Ní Aoidhne - on the TG4 travel series Téacs Taistil, which returns for a fourth season this week.
The show pitches the young Gaeilgeoirí against each other across different challenges in a new location each week.
One challenge sees Cantillon take part in a burlesque show in Chicago, which she named as her standout memory from the shoot.
But Cantillon, who is married to All-Ireland winning Limerick hurler Declan Hannon, admits she is 'really nervous about seeing the edit'.
She told the Mail: 'Now, I'm a confident woman, [but] I was absolutely tested. It is probably the most nervous I've ever felt about something coming to the television.'
'I mean, I may be 32 but I still have parents and grandparents who are going to tune in and see me prancing around in the sparkly knickers and bra, burlesque dancing in Chicago.'
Cantillon admitted with a laugh: 'I'm actually least worried about what my husband is going to think. It's more the neighbours that you grew up with at home being like, "What's she at now?"
'So that really pushed me out of my comfort zone.'

Less scandalising were her trips to Toronto and Derry for the other two episodes she's involved in - while Ros na Rún actress Ní Aoidhne takes her place for the other episodes due to Cantillon's radio commitments.
The Adare, Co. Limerick woman said the Irish language is 'thriving' in the Canadian city, which is full of 'Gaels and Gaeltachtaí and Irish speakers'.
The trip to Derry also gave her a new-found appreciation for the walled city.
'As someone from the South, I'm embarrassed to admit this: it was my first time spending time in Derry,' she said.
'I’d never been out in Derry; I’d never gone to the museums in Derry, and sat and thought about the history of Derry, and it completely opened my eyes.
'It is a light entertainment programme at the end of the day, but there’s some really beautiful moments in that episode.'
The Today FM lunchtime presenter also co-hosts the How to Gael podcast, along with fellow broadcasters Doireann Ní Ghlacáin and Síomha Ní Ruairc.
Last week saw their biggest guest yet join them on the bilingual show, when Taoiseach Micheál Martin came on for the first episode of their new miniseries on the united Ireland question.
Cantillon revealed there had been 'a lot of interest from politicians across the board' after the trio interviewed President Catherine Connolly - the only candidate to accept their invitation - during last year's presidential election.
'I suppose, as the Taoiseach of the country, this is something he wanted to talk about, and we reached out,' the co-host explained. 'And it was actually not as hard as you might imagine. He was very generous with his time, and he sat with us for over an hour.'
Ní Ghlacáin was the 'main driving force' behind the new series, which calls on people in the South to 'seriously engage' with the unity question across six episodes.
Cantillon said: 'A lot of our friends live and work in the North, in Belfast, and these are the conversations that young people are having.'
'So I suppose we didn't see the conversation being had anywhere else, on any other platform similar to ours.'
'There's obviously some really brilliant books and articles and studies currently happening and published already, but I guess what we were hoping to do was let the conversation live on a platform that is accessible - and also, to start the conversation in the south.'
'I would say that perhaps I'm part of the majority who needs to educate myself more on the topic.'
Over four years on Téacs Taistil, Cantillon said she has noticed an 'unbelievable thing' about filming in Irish.
'When you're in any country outside of Ireland, would you believe, no-one bats an eyelid at you making a program in your native language. It's funny, it'd almost be people in Ireland that would say, "Oh, are you making a program as Gaeilge?"'
'It's so normal in European countries to be multilingual, to have lots of languages on the go, and it's absolutely not a surprise that people would be filming a program in their native language.'
'So [speaking Irish] is never something that is commented on really. I think it's just accepted - we're Irish, making an Irish programme.'
■ Season four of Téacs Taistil begins on Thursday, April 2 at 9.30pm on TG4
