Gogglebox Ireland gets new cast members as familiar face and family join show

Gogglebox Ireland bosses have confirmed that two new cast members have joined in the shape of the Purcell family and the Reilly's.

The show returned to our screens two weeks ago to great applause from the public, with Virgin Media viewers once again tuning in to watch the likes of the Cabra Girls, the Grufferty's and the Tully Twins give their thoughts on the week's telly.

Last week, we saw a new house and a new family on the show when the Purcell clan made their debut.

The family of four, based in Ashbourne, County Meath, consists of Lila, Laura, John and Emma.

John was a FIFA referee for 20 years and is now retired. He travelled the world, officiating at matches at the highest level.

Lila works as an SNA in a local school while Emma works in finance and Laura works in real estate.

The Purcell’s love rescuing animals - with two cats (Binx and Bree) and two dogs (Holly and Paco)

This Wednesday's episode will also see a familiar face return in the form of David Reilly.

Fans of the show will recognise David from his time sitting between his two fellow Louth lads in seasons past - but this time around he's joined by partner Sarah from their home in Dundalk alongside their two French bull-dogs, Tammy and Swanson.

Sarah loves true-crime and drama series’ while David is still obsessed with David Attenborough, but also a fan of the Office and Parks and Recreation.

Watch Gogglebox Ireland every Wednesday at 9pm on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player.
