PICS: TV3 have revealed the identity of two more Irish Gogglebox families

You’re about to get to know these people a whole lot better.

The big day has arrived for Irish fans of Gogglebox as a brand new 12-week Irish version of the series gets underway at 9.30pm on TV3 on Thursday night. Having already introduced Irish audiences to some of the people they’ll be watching watching telly (no really, that sentence does make sense), TV3 this morning introduced some new Gogglebox stars into the mix.

Fergal and Neal Tully, Cavan

First up are identical twins, Fergal and Neal Tully, who grew up on a farm in rural Cavan along with their three other brothers. They live within a stone’s throw of one another and claim to chat with each other more than to their own wives. Although they rarely see eye to eye, the pair have never had an argument in their entire lives. Neal is envious of Fergal’s Sky Sports package as a lot of viewing in his house revolves around Dance Moms and Don’t Tell The Bride.

Angela and Eileen from Castleknock

Angela and Eileen from Castleknock met at the local retirement club in the area. Eileen spotted newcomer Angela, offered her a seat beside her and the rest is history. Dubliner Angela moved back from Wexford a few years ago and enrolled as a mature student, studying Retail in Pearse College and winning two awards for public speaking. Eileen is originally from Kilkenny and spent most of her life as a Children’s and Psychiatric nurse. Angela’s favourite TV programmes are Midsomer Murders, Come Dine With Me and Miss Marple but she hates Big Brother and The X Factor.  Eileen loves to watch Ear to the Ground and The Chase. Gogglebox Ireland airs every Thursday night on TV3 at 9.30pm.
