GOGGLEBOX IRELAND STARTED on TV 3 last night and safe to say, it went down well with viewers.

Gogglebox Ireland Angela & Eileen from Castleknock

Cavan brothers Fergal and Neal were an early favourite, with Castleknock pals Angela and Eileen also winning over viewers from the get-go.

They watched the Angelus, the All Ireland final, and the Six One news to name a few.

But the star attraction of the show was BY FAR, the Michael D Higgins tea cosy belonging to Angela and Eileen

Well, you’re in luck.

The tea cosy was made by Eileen’s daughter, Hand Knit by Yvonne, find her here on Facebook.

There’s also another version, from Etsy seller rosiecosie, and can be bought online.

They’re predictably all sold out at the moment, but keep an eye for a restock
