Donncha O’Callaghan says his children keep him humble: ‘I was last pick for hurling’ [Video]

Donncha O’Callaghan might be rugby legend, a best-selling author, popular broadcaster and beloved TV fitness coach, but those accolades won’t buy him any favours when it comes to his children.

Donnncha and his wife of 15 years, Jenny, share four children together, Sophie, 14, Anna, 12, Robin, 10 and Jake, 9.

The bestselling author released his first children’s book Disaster Dad: Chicken Chaos, last year, but at the book launch his children were eager to get their hands on another novel.

Speaking to RSVP at the launch of Tesco Ireland’s new Stronger Starts Cooks programme, Donncha said; “It’s so funny. We went into the launch of my book and my kids were begging me to get Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the new one had just come out.

“I was like ‘give us a break’. They said, ‘Dad, you’re not competing with him. He’s a superstar’”.
