The Reaction To Last Night's Special Gogglebox Ireland Was Something Else
Especially these famous faces reacting to the classic soap opera Fair City...
The final episode of Gogglebox Ireland season three was a special treat for fans of the series. Hollywood heavyweights Will Ferrell, John Lithgow, Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg sat back and took in the great channels of Ireland alongside the regular Goggleboxers. The foursome appeared on the show to do a bit of promoting for their new movie Daddy's Home 2:
Will Ferrel quickly caught on to the concept of RTÉs Fair City:

Famous Irish faces weren't impressed that they lost out on a decent booking fee to "yanks":
I can’t believe @TV3Ireland have imported some yanks in to slag off Fair City on #GoggleboxIRL. Coming over here, taking our (my) jobs.....with their good teeth, clear skin and sunny optimism. pic.twitter.com/ApeMTrhl7J

"Look at the colour of that car, what sort of a wanker would ye need to be?" . . . . "Love that car" best editing award goes to #GoggleboxIRL ??

and her cat who has a tendency of randomly opening the fridge - leaving Tracey living on her nerves:
