Paul from Fade Street was the real star of the show - here's what he's up to now
IT’S HARD TO believe that it’s been seven years since RTÉ 2′s iconic reality series Fade Street aired on our screens and propelled Vogue, Louise, Dani and Cici to stardom.

Paul’s antics on the show have ensured that he’s lived long in the memory of Fade Street fans.
Earlier this week, we decided to get in touch with Paul to ask about his experience on the show and what he makes of the reputation he built for himself.
Furlong explained that he was roped into appearing on the show thanks to his then-girlfriend Danielle and said much of what we saw on the show was “exaggerated for entertainment”.
He said that he had “no worries at all” about appearing on the show, stating that it was “all just a laugh, really”.
These days, Paul is still in Wexford (“Here looking for a job at the minute”) and still manages to get stick from pals for appearing on the show.
“Yeah people still say it to me around here,” he explained, before confirming that he had rewatched the show himself a while back.
As for whether he’s still in touch with his co-stars?
There’s still time for RTÉ to give him a spin-off…
