\n The Flynn Fitzgeralds have joined the popular show.\n <\/p>\n
Gogglebox Ireland is back this week on Virgin Media Play and Virgin Media One, and it\u2019s bringing more laughs, banter, and brilliant TV commentary than ever.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s not all…a brand-new family is joining the lineup, and they\u2019re ready to win over the nation from the comfort of their sofa.<\/p>\n
Say hello to the Flynn Fitzgeralds, a tight-knit Ballymun crew made up of mum Charlene, dad Paul, daughter Kayleigh, and son Rhys.<\/strong><\/p>\n Together, they\u2019re set to serve up the perfect mix of quick wit, heartfelt reflections, and the kind of authentic family dynamic that makes Gogglebox Ireland so addictive.<\/p>\n Charlene is the heart of the family and she\u2019s got stories to tell.<\/p>\n A proud Ballymun native, she once ran away with the carnival and spent nine months travelling across Ireland and the UK. Something tells us that little nugget of family history is bound to come up on the couch sooner rather than later!<\/p>\n Paul, a former stay-at-home dad, is the resident sports guru of the gang. His fondest telly memories go back to the magic of Italia \u201990 and USA \u201994 when the entire nation gathered round their screens for the World Cup. Their daughter Kayleigh, 19, is currently in her second year of Social Studies at TUD.<\/p>\n (Virgin Media Television)<\/p>\n Passionate about social justice and youth policy, she says she gets her smarts from her mam and her music taste from her dad a combo that makes her a sharp and soulful commentator on anything TV throws at her. And then there\u2019s Rhys, 12, the youngest Flynn Fitzgerald.<\/p>\n He\u2019s football-mad like his dad, but also has a flair for science and baking.<\/p>\n Already thinking big, he wants to study Aviation Engineering in the future and has even taken part in engineering and biochemistry courses at DCU\u2019s Centre for Talented Youth.<\/p>\n From soap dramas to edge-of-your-seat matches and everything in between, the Flynn Fitzgeralds will be watching it all together and sharing their honest (and often hilarious) takes along the way.<\/p>\n With families like these keeping it real, it\u2019s no wonder Gogglebox Ireland continues to be one of Virgin Media Television\u2019s most beloved shows.<\/p>\n Season 11 continues Wednesday 1st October at 9pm on Virgin Media Play and Virgin Media One.<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Virgin Media Television) The Flynn Fitzgeralds have joined the popular show.
