Gogglebox is back.
TV3 have confirmed five new homes for the new series of Gogglebox Ireland that gets underway this week, but they are keeping the details tightly under wraps until the first episode airs on Wednesday night.
All the station are prepared to reveal so far is that the new homes are located in the counties of Cork, Clare, Mayo, Wicklow and Laois, where they’ve been more specific and identified the county town of Portlaoise as the location of one of the homes in the new series.
The new homes, which were selected after an exhaustive search that kicked off with over 3,000 applications, will be revealed over the course of the next few weeks, starting with the first one on Wednesday night.
They’ll do well to make as much of an impression as the Tully twins from Cavan last time out…
