Although he presents the property design programme, he does not consider himself an architect.
Speaking to the Irish Times, McCloud explained: "The only thing I haven't done is practice as an architect and I don't think I could do either. There's a large set of skills and aptitudes required and I don't think that I have those.
"I probably could have been an architect but I think to be a successful and very good one requires a very specific and large range of skills. Those who do it all brilliantly are scary."
