A spokesperson for the entertainment firm tweeted: "Everyone at Kite and all who’ve worked on Gogglebox Ireland are sadden by the news that original cast member Angela De La Mere has passed away. Sending all our love to her family and her Goggle cohort Eileen. RIP Angela."
Castleknock native Angela quickly became one of the most popular stars of Gogglebox Ireland after it first hit our screens, and viewers loved the Michael D. Higgins tea cosy often seen on screen while the pair discussed the latest goings-on in television.
A notice on RIP.ie confirms that Angela will be reposing at Fanagans Funeral Home in Finglas today, while a removal will take place tomorrow morning, prior to a funeral at Glasnevin Crematorium.
