Been watching these ads for "Celebrity Home of the Year" in disbelief. Kind of an obnoxious idea for a programme given the current situation in Ireland or am I overreacting? Who watches this stuff? @rte
There are some who love nothing more than a sneak peek inside the homes of high-profile individuals, and there are others who consider it a distasteful display in the face of a homelessness crisis.
Tonight, RTÉ will be airing its 2018 version, with author John Boyne, singer Eleanor McEvoy, meteorologist Jean Byrne, entrepreneur Ramona Nicholas and artist Robert Ballagh inviting a trio of judges beyond their hall door.
After sharing the story of their home and giving an insight into how and why they chose to design it as they did, Hugh Wallace, Deirdre Whelan and Peter Crowley will then be tasked with appraising each celebrity home from various perspectives including architectural, design and individuality.
One of tonight’s five celebrities will join the previous years’ winners, and will ultimately be awarded a donation for a chosen charity.
But where do you stand on it? Will you be tuning in?
Poll Results:
Of course, it's a bit of light entertainment! (1231)
I won't be watching and I find it pretty distasteful. (334)
