Hold EVERYTHING! Googlebox is legit about to go Emerald Isle-style

If you're fairly certain that your best mate could give Scarlett Moffatt a run for her money in the comedy stakes, then it's time to tell her that stardom is just around the corner.

Oh, that's right ladies, casting for the Irish Gogglebox is finally about to begin, and we are all PUMPED!

According to a report in today's Irish Independent, two years after TV3 announced it was set to air an Irish version of the smash Channel 4 show, it has been established that the homegrown version will hit our television screens this coming August.

With the Irish public falling all over themselves to watch our country's singletons put their first date material to the test this year, we can only imagine how popular our version of Googlebox will be.

Seriously, who wouldn't want a sneak peek into Mick and Mags' Mullingar sitting room?!
