These Hollywood Stars Were Engrossed In ‘Fair City’ Last Night And People Couldn’t Get Over It

Last night's episode of 'Gogglebox Ireland' featured some familiar faces as the stars of Daddy's Home 2 curled up to watch 'Fair City' and 'Ireland's Fittest Family'. 

Will Ferrell, Mel Gibson, John Lithgow and Mark Wahlberg followed the seedy exploits of Mondo and Kerri-Ann very closely and despite their vast Hollywood experience, events in Carrigstown had them on the edge of their sofa. 

The cast of #DaddysHome2 filmed their own episode of #GoggleboxIRL

Lithgow in particular was heard repeating how "very exciting" it all was...

The only thing I hate about #GoggleboxIRL is that it's over. Should be running all year. Brilliant. In #Faircity nothing is fair ????????

#GoggleboxIRL can't believe it's over for this season. First time I watched it tonight. Laughed so much I was crying. 'Can't work Wednesday's I've sore knees'. Best line ever.

#GoggleboxIRL as much as I enjoy the the UK version, Gogglebox Ireland is head and shoulders above it. Its a pity this run is over but roll on season 4! Well done everyone involved, absolute class!!:)

A great night had by all. Roll on series four.
