TV3 has revealed some of the families who will be starring in Gogglebox Ireland.
The franchise will hit our screens this Thursday night at 9.30 for a 12 week run.
Not all the sofa surfing families have been unveiled, but three of the households have been "unboxed" by the channel.
Cabra girls and best pals Jamie, Lindsay, Ashley and Grainne are reality TV addicts and their ideal Friday night involves the sofa, the telly, a gossip session and copious amounts of white wine. Sisters Lindsay and Ashley spent childhood holidays with Jamie as their mums were best friends and, after Grainne joined the gang, aged 12, they were inseparable.
The Gruffertys from County Kildare. Mum Laura and dad Des met 14 years ago when Des walked into Laura’s hairdressers for a trim and came out with her phone number! A house, wedding and four kids later, they’re happily settled in their hometown of Athy. Laura owns a hair and beauty salon in the town and won Best Salon in Ireland at the recent Irish Hair and Beauty Awards. A businesswoman with a strong work ethic, she has been able to pursue her dream while Des (or ‘Scruff’ as Laura affectionately calls him) takes care of the kids and their two Jack Russell dogs. Laura and Des are joined on the couch by their 12-year-old daughter, Danielle.
