Emyr Rhys Jones, 41, from Llangefni on Anglesey, won Sunday’s final of Mastermind Cymru 2006.

It was announced earlier this year that a Welsh-language version of the long-running TV quiz was to be made by BBC Wales – although the show’s trademark phrases like “I’ve started so I’ll finish” would not be translated into Welsh.

Flatley was born in Chicago in 1958 after his parents emigrated from Ireland in 1947 and settled in the city. Though he was born and raised in the US, he often visited family in Ireland and his mother and grandmother were both award-winning Irish dancers. He shot to fame in the Irish dance spectacle Riverdance, first performed in the interval of the Eurovision Song Contest, before going on to create his own shows Lord of the Dance, Feet of Flames and Celtic Tiger. He married Ms O’Brien after a whirlwind romance. Ms O’Brien, 32, is a member of Flatley’s Celtic Tiger troupe. The couple first met on the set of Riverdance in 1993, but only became a couple earlier this year. Flatley split with his fiancée, Lisa Murphy, at around the same time after almost six years together.

It was a brilliant marketing concept, as it came at little cost while being extremely attractive to record companies and advertisers.
