PADDYWHACKERY IS NOT something many of us handle well.

We struggle enough with the term St. Patty’s Day, so any reference to leprechauns, pots of gold or lucky charms will have most of us stifling screams into our sleeves.

Ellen De Generes unfortunately did not get that memo, and this week hosted a St Patrick’s Day segment so cringeworthy, we’re struggling to get over it here.

Filling viewers in, Ellen revealed exactly what was up for grabs.

St Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and I want to give two people in my audience a trip to Ireland. It’s time to play Dublin Down.

And with that, Ashley and Hannah emerged… dressed as leprechauns.

With fiddly-dee music going 90 in the background, the women shrieked, screamed and waved at Ellen with all the excitement of two hyper leprechauns.

And we… well… we had to watch from between our fingers.
