Terrible Twosome Podge and Rodge have revealed their “maddest” stories from their show - a superfan who bought Joe Dolan’s hip.
Cork native Maggie Keating paid the small sum of E690 for the late singer’s hip after he underwent hip replacement surgery, which he signed on their RTE show back in 2004.
Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, producers of the gruesome twosome still couldn’t believe what was happening on their show as Joe signed his old hip in front of a studio audience.
They revealed: “One of the maddest things we did on the Podge and Rodge show was selling Joe Dolans autographed hip bone for charity.

“We now know who bought it in 2004. Fair play Maggie Keating who forked out E690.”
In 2015, Maggie, from Mitchelstown in Cork, told Neil Prenderville on Cork’s Red FM that she has always been a huge fan of the Make Me An Island singer.
She said today: “My mother followed him from her dancing days so his music would have always been on in the house when I was growing up.
“I went to my first concert of his when I was 17 and from around 1995 we would have been very friendly, I met him loads.
“He was very down to earth and would have always come over to chat.”
Maggie built up a huge memorabilia collection, including one of his iconic white suits.
And when she bought his hip in 2004, she said at the time it brought her happiness after his death in 2007.
She explained: “He was on the Podge and Rodge show and they had it after his hip replacement.
“So the two puppets signed it and Joe signed it: “Mind my hip.”
“Joe was asked would he sell for Irish Autism Action and a friend said I should go for it.
“I bid on eBay for five days and by the end I got it for €690.”
She said at the time: “It was always nice to look up and see it, it was on display in my house but then some people would pretend to bite it as a joke or throw it to the dog so I wrapped it up and put it away in case it would break.”
