We all have a preference when it comes to how we like our tea - but it seems that one Ireland AM presenter has very specific taste when it comes to making her a cuppa.
Muireann O'Connell was outed by her two co-hosts on the breakfast show on Monday morning about the bizarre way she takes her tea.
It turns out that the TV presenter expects her teabag to be dunked into the hot water a specific number of times before she will drink it.

Speaking about doing romantic gestures for your partner ahead of Valentine's Day, Tommy Bowe teased her, saying: "Muireann, what about you? The housemate, does he know to do 21 dunks?"
Fellow presenter Alan Hughes added: "So Muireann likes 21 dunks of her teabag - we're not joking. You have to stand there and dunk the teabag 21 times."
Muireann defended herself saying that she can make a cup of tea much quicker but other people don't make it properly.
She said: "It's actually 14 times when I'm doing it but it's 21 for other people because they don't know how to do it right."
Alan jokingly called her a "diva" while Tommy said: "If you don't do 21 it gets thrown in your face." However, Muireann then claimed that she's always grateful to anyone who makes her a cup of tea.
This comes as last week, Muireann opened up about a grim job she had during college before she was launched into the public eye on Irish television.
Posting a clip on Instagram of the latest “And Another Thing” podcast episode, Muireann revealed that she used to work in a nightclub toilet, where she would have to deal with drunk antics on a nightly basis.
Delving into the gory details she said: “I do think everyone should have to work in a nightclub at one stage in their lives because there is no such thing as manners when it’s 1:50 am in the morning, and people are just fighting for survival”.
She said: “So there was a group of us, we all worked in the nightclub called Trinity Rooms. I’m in the toilets, that was my job… the toilets.
“And to say I have seen liquids of all colours coming out of every orifice of people’s bodies.. and that I have had to climb over stall doors to break into other stalls as girls have their tops over their heads, their pants on the ground, there’s nothing going on in between, and they’ve somehow fit themselves behind the cistern in the loo”.
