While Gogglebox Ireland may be responsible for making stars of a number of Irish families this year, two of its cast members are responsible for creating a trend which viewers have latched onto with gusto in recent weeks.

So, as we all know, best friends, Angela and Eileen from Castleknock, are generally joined by a tiny guest each week, and it looks like the Irish public are only dying to host him themselves.

Michael Tea Higgins is as big a star as the Tully twins from Cavan and the ladies from The Liberties, and a Dublin craft shop is currently inundated with orders from people who want a miniature version of the Irish President to keep their tea warm.

Taking to Facebook to highlight the popularity of the tea cosy in the run-up to Christmas, Not Just Hats wrote: "Our President wasn't around for long today! He was sold out in record time! But don't worry we have a back up stock!"

Responding to public demand today, they added: "Thanks a million for all your requests! We are getting through them today and we will be in touch with you all in regards to your questions and orders."

We didn't know how much we wanted one until now.

It's no secret that 2016 has been an absolute disaster of a year.

From Trump and Brexit to the passing of some of the world's best-known stars, 2016 was the year that just kept on giving… but not in a good way.

Drawing on everyone's mutual distaste for the last 12 months, Friend Dog Studios have created a movie trailer which accurately sums up the year that brought us endless upset.

And if possible, it's actually scarier than the year we've just lived through.

*Watches from behind couch*

Unless you're an absolute pro in the kitchen, it can be pretty daunting having to share the fruits of your labour with your workmates.

And it's even worse when you have to do it on live TV, and know, deep-down, that you've made an absolute b*lls of it.

So props to Global News' Leslie Horton who surged ahead and doled out hearty helpings of artichoke dip to a trio of colleagues who looked far from impressed with Leslie's contribution to the office Christmas task.

After squirming and questioning the smell and consistency of the gooey mess, Leslie's workmates eventually tucked in… and we've been laughing ever since.

We'll let them take it from here.

We'll be honest, it would take a serious talent to get us to stop in the middle of a crowded train station.

But if we had been present for Tymara Walker's rendition of Oh Holy Night in recent weeks, there's a good chance we'd still be standing there reeling.

Tymara was waiting in a Washington DC metro station when she decided to test the acoustics of the station by giving a spine-tingling version of the festive favourite.

And now she's an internet superstar who can add Barack Obama to her list of Twitter followers… no, seriously.

Watch this, and prepare yourself for full-body shivers.

If you're still on the hunt for some Christmas pressies or simply feel like treating yourself this week, the latest announcement from MCD is bound to help.

Taking to Twitter this morning, the promoters announced that uber-popular stand-up comedian, Jon Richardson, is set to take to the stage in Dublin next year.

Touring his new live show, the former 8 Out of 10 Cats team leader will be treating audiences to his latest material in Dublin's Olympia Theatre on October 26.

If you or another comedy buff don't want to miss out, be sure to nab your tickets tomorrow morning at 9am.

Oh, and did we mention they'll only set you back 30 blips?!

Chat show hosts, in recent years, have been knocking it out of the park when it comes to their ability to create hype around particular segments of their programme.

Carpool Karaoke, Celebrities Read Mean Tweets, Drop the Mic and The Big Red Chair have, at times, surpassed the show's main interviews, so it's no real surprise that some of them are set to get their own spin-off series.

And the latest one to do so is Graham Norton's Big Red Chair. (Hurrah!)

Hosted by Graham himself, the much-loved chat show host will recall his favourite stories (there have been more than 500 so far!) before being reintroduced to the people who dared share their most embarrassing stories on national television.

Hitting our screens on Jan 6, we'll definitely be tuning in for this one.

From Drop the Mic to Comedy Central Roast, watching celebrities insult each other has got to be one of our favourite pastimes.

So when we heard Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt had gone head to head on Scott Mill's Playground Insults, we knew we'd be in for a good'un.

And thankfully the stars of Passengers did not disappoint.

From seeing Jennifer call Chris out on his 'strong guy' rep to watching Chris admit he hates Jennifer and Adele in equal measure, they guys didn't disappoint.

But there can only be one winner….

2016 – Where do we start?

While it’s easy (oh-so easy) to dismiss the past 12 months as a sh*tshow from start to finish, it’s important to acknowledge that among Trump’s triumph and the Brexit blow-out, the past year has also given us some pretty amazing events.

From the Irish fans doing us proud at the Euros to Brianna Parkins speaking out at The Rose of Tralee, 2016 gave us A LOT to talk about on Facebook.

And oh, how we talked.

Today, Facebook released the most discussed moments in 2016, and it looks like Ireland was on much the same page as the rest of the world when it came to the moments which stopped us in our tracks.

Ireland:

  1. US Presidential Election
  2. Irish General Election
  3. Brexit
  4. Olympics
  5. UEFA Euro 2016
  6. David Bowie
  7. Easter Rising
  8. GAA All-Ireland Final 2016
  9. Rose of Tralee
  10. Six Nations Championship

Global:

  1. US Elections
  2. Brazilian Politics
  3. Pokemon Go
  4. Black Lives Matter
  5. Rodrigo Duterte
  6. Olympics
  7. Brexit
  8. Super Bowl
  9. David Bowie
  10. Muhammed Ali

"The range of topics in this year’s top ten shows the breadth of subjects discussed on Facebook, from elections to major sporting events and, of course, key moments on the Irish calendar like the All-Ireland finals," Head of Facebook Gareth Lambe said.

“It was a big year for politics and it is no surprise that the top three most talked-about topics were the Irish and US elections and Brexit.”

“During the summer, we had the Euros and Olympics – at which Ireland was well represented by both our athletes and supporters – with many stand-out moments captured on Facebook.”

And when not busy weighing in on global politics, we also found time to make the most of Facebook’s new feature, Facebook Live, which became available to everyone in April of this year.

From the Byrne Brothers dancing in Eyre Square to checking in with Mrs Brown’s Boys, our top four Facebook Live videos have been revealed, and we’re clearly a patriotic bunch.

Here are the top four…

1. The Byrne Brothers, Byrne Brothers Dancing in Eyre Square  

2. TG4, Irish dancers in Inis

3. The Irish Sun, Ronan Keating duets with his daughter Ali
 

4. Mrs. Brown’s Boys TV Series, Mrs. Brown's Boys Live

Ah memories, but we’re looking forward to closing the door on 2016 all the same…

They may have traded a kiss during their time on Beauty School Dropouts, but it seems there's no love lost between Jeremy McConnell and Scarlett Moffatt if the Dubliner's recent comments are anything to go by.

Making his feelings for the Gogglebox star clear while speaking to Heatworld, he admitted that he doesn't share the same love for Scarlett as the rest of us.

"I hate her. I just think she's manipulative," said the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant. "I don't think she's a genuine person."

While Scarlett has been lauded by I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here viewers for her down-to-earth attitude, it sounds like Jeremy was having none of it.

"I think she knows how to play certain situations," he argued. "If you were there for six weeks in the jungle, you'd be found out. But luckily she's playing a very clever game."

Despite Jeremy's critique of her performance in the Aussie jungle, Scarlett went on to be crowned winner – something Jeremy said he couldn't 'give a sh*t' about.

Jeez Jeremy, how dya really feel?

There's one in every family – the sibling who will not shell out for their own Netflix account, and instead makes use of other people's log-in details on the sly.

If you've been inundated with recommendations which bear no resemblance to your own TV preferences, you've likely fallen foul to a sibling who desperately needs a Netflix Gift Card in their Christmas stocking.

Available in three pre-paid amounts – €15, €25, €50 – the Netflix Gift Card can be added to an existing account or used to open a new one, so you can say goodbye to scrounging siblings for good in the new year.

The card, which could herald the dawn of more peaceful family relations, can be used with any viewing plan, so why not treat yourself to a Netflix account exclusive to you… by springing for a gift card exclusive to your sibling?!

Everyone's a winner!
