TG4 has announced that it will launch a new programme titled Daniel sa Bhaile, that will see us join beloved Irish singer Daniel O’Donnell as he hosts from his living room.

Starting from Sunday week (7 June), we will be treated to Daniel chatting with other musicians, singers and Irish people whose lives have been affected by the Covid-19 crisis.

Guests will include Moya Brennan, Philomena Begley, Derek Ryan and others. Judging by the press release, it seems he will also be joined by wife Majella for some fitness segments.

For example: “Majella will be popping in to the show each week and for the first episode she will join Daniel as they get their hips moving in an online Hula Hooping class.”

Or, for Episode 2: “Majella joins Daniel as they decide to take part in an online Zumba workout.”

In these dark times, Daniel O’Donnell doing hula-hooping sounds like a pretty huge moment for Ireland, if you ask us.

And hopefully, he’ll be wearing this exact shirt:
