We have all been curious to see if TV3 can pull off the Irish version of Gogglebox.
It premieres this Thursday night but we have a sneak peek of some of the households that will be taking part.
First up meet Cabra pals, Jamie Lindsay, Ashley and Grainne.
All four 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 second household is Szymon and Aga, , originally from Poland but now living in Tallaght.
The pair have been best friends since they met in college 16 years ago. Aga moved to Ireland from Poland in 2004, having completed her Masters Degree in Environmental Protection Science and went on to receive her PHD at UCD, while Simon arrived in 2007 to celebrate Halloween. He fell in love with the country and never left.
Last but not least, we have The Gruffertys from County Kildare.
Mam, 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.
You can meet the rest of the households taking part this Thursday at 9:30pm on TV3.
