For those who listen to George Hook's daily show on Newstalk, you'll know that he often refers to his wife as "The Lovely Ingrid."
We love that after so many years of marriage, Hook still does this and, of course, it's become a sort of running joke for both guests, contributors and even listeners alike.
However, not that many people have even heard or seen Ingrid - until Saturday night, that is. Ray D'Arcy had Hook and his wife on the show to discuss, well, their courtship and how they got together.
Take a look.
Of course, Twitter responded to the Lovely Ingrid's droll sense of humour and the fact that she has to put up with George Hook on a daily basis.
Ok so I'm only a minute into #thelovelyingrid but WHY does ingrid not have her own show?! #raydarcyshow

My verdict on George and Ingrid on #raydarcyshow = a patient, strong woman who married a chancer.

Some, however, thought Ingrid was just a little too cold.
#raydarcyshow Ingrid Hook did herself no favours tonight. Much more warmth in George

Car crash tv! My god that Ingrid is an aul wagon! To say she hates him is an understatement! #raydarcyshow

I imagin George Hook lives in a little bunker outside his house and Ingrid occasionally allows him food + water #awkward #raydarcyshow

Whatever you think, one thing's certain - that woman needs her own show because last night's interview was one of the most entertaining Ray D'Arcy's done since the show started.
