A mildly angry Daniel O’Donnell just broke a new record for Room To Improve

This great ball of fury in a checkered shirt just made history.

The much anticipated return of Dermot Bannon's home improvement show, Room to Improve has become the most viewed programme of the year so far with 722,000 viewers tuning in. And it's all because of Daniel O'Donnell. The country star and his wife Majella were featured on the show, which had a 51% share of the audience, making it the show's most watched episode to date. What's more, the Sunday night programme outperformed the likes of The Late Late Show which had an audience of 510,000 and the Ray D'Arcy Show with 355,000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyqqTtYEb8k Clip via - RTÉ It seems people were more interested in the lovely Daniel's moderately combative manner, which was a beast unleashed once the initial estimates of €200,000 rocketed to somewhere in the region of €400,000. https://twitter.com/lennygood76/status/965341583565565952 https://twitter.com/myshellybelle/status/965341569493684224 https://twitter.com/t0mm13b/status/965341517710839809 https://twitter.com/IBBR2/status/965341517442404352 https://twitter.com/IrPsych/status/965341504490409985 https://twitter.com/carmelnolan2000/status/965341491584520192 https://twitter.com/anne_amfitz10/status/965341466171265024 https://twitter.com/RoisinTheGinger/status/965341614351798272 Anyone else already looking forward to next week's episode?
