It's sofa so good for the Grufferty family as they prepare for a return to their telly-watching antics for a new run of Gogglebox Ireland.
The Kildare telly trio will become a foursome this time around, as daughter Georgina will join sibling Danielle and parents Des and Laura when the show returns to Virgin Media One next Wednesday, September 1.
This will be a seventh season for the Gruffertys, who have been on the show since its inception. Clearly, they're enjoying it all and viewers have taken the family to their hearts.
According to dad Des, as the family spoke at the Virgin Media new season launch, the secret is that they play it for real, admitting that "you can't force it or fake it.
"The family chats that we have on Gogglebox would be more or less exactly the same as the ones we would have normally," he insists. "It's totally and utterly unedited.
"People will come up to us, and we love it and we get to hear who they love on the show. It’s positive stuff that they’re coming up saying to us. People love engaging with the show because it’s real."
"That’s what the show is all about," says Laura, when asked about the new addition to their TV family, Georgina. "Be you, be yourself, and say how you see it, really.
"I think Georgina’s going to be good on the show for us as a family because I think she’s able to draw us all out individually."
Georgina freely admits that she’s got a touch of the nerves ahead of her debut on the show - but she’s on a buzz too.
"Yeah I’m excited because now I get to see and experience what they did before," she says.
"Of course, I’m going to be nervous and I’m chuffed to actually be able to get the opportunity to experience it."
Sister Danielle had the last word though, joking: "She always told us we were crap on the telly so we’ll have to see how well she does now."
