5 brand new households joining Gogglebox Ireland

The second season of Gogglebox Ireland gets underway this week on TV3, with five more households joining the show.

The new homes will be in Cork, Portlaoise, Clare, Mayo and Wicklow and are set to be revealed over the coming weeks.

The new recruits were selected after an exhaustive search that kicked off with over three thousand applications. Simon Proctor, Series Producer of Gogglebox Ireland said: "We're thrilled to welcome our five new households to join our expanded Gogglebox Ireland family!

"Representing a great geographical and social mix, our new Goggleboxers will bring us even more unique insights into the week's telly along with many of our original cast - they let us into their homes, switch on their kettles and pick up their remote controls".

Here's hoping for more like these two legends!

Series 2 of Gogglebox Ireland kicks off on TV3 this Wednesday 8th February at 9 pm.
