Get ready for more tears on tonight’s ‘Gogglebox Ireland’

Thu, 13 October 2016

In tonight’s episode the show opens on ‘Winning Steak’. Host Sinead Kennedy sparks controversy in the households with her choice of clothing, wearing a two piece tartan suit. The Gruffertys from Kildare weren’t impressed with her style, with mum Laura saying: “It’s a little bit OTT for Winning Streak, she must be going to Coppers”.

More controversy follows when the households watch a BBC documentary on parenting style, Britain's Secrets with Anne Robinson. The documentary features a forty-two year-old mother who still breastfeeds her three year old son. The Cabra girls, minus Lindsay, who is away in Rome on holidays, were disgusted: “Oh my god, Stop it. He’s too big for that. He’s only short of collecting the labour”.

Up next, another BBC documentary, ‘True North: My Wig & Me’, on the impact of hair loss on cancer patients has our households emotionally drained. There are no dry eyes in the houses, as the documentary shows a brave young girl called Emily who has leukaemia. “That’s after tearing lumps out of me”, said Tracie, from the Liberties in Dublin, with tears running down her face.

Other Programmes that feature in tonight’s episode of the new TV3 series were; ‘Angela's Ashes’, ‘Catchphrase’, ‘The Ray D'Arcy Show’, ‘Kevin McGahern's America’ , ‘The Lie Detective’ and ‘The Fall’.
