There was huge reaction to an interview Stephen did last year on Nolan Live with BBC NI’s Stephen Watson.

Stephen revealed his need for a new kidney and that he was on dialysis four times a week back in February. He discovered he needed to replace the kidney his dad gave him in a lifesaving transplant operation while making the TV programme 'Life On the List' last year, about the pioneering work undertaken at Belfast City Hospital's renal unit.

Stephen explained at the time why he wanted to talk about organ donation on Nolan Live

The interview got a lot of you talking about organ donation.

One of those was John – he’s got in touch with the show to tell us what’s happened since he watched that interview.
