Prepare for some serious cuteness, ladies.

Last night 116 little puppies were seized at Dublin Port, and while that news won't be welcome for animal lovers, you'll be pleased to know they are all in safe hands now.

The cuties were seized when it was discovered they had been smuggled into the country without any animal passports.

RTÉ News tweeted this picture which made the entirely of Ireland collectively say "aaaaaw":

Just look at them!

The DSPCA rounded up the puppies last night with the help of customs officers, and they are being cared for today. It's said they are all relatively healthy, except for some who have stomach bugs.

Can we mind them? PLEASE?

RTÉ broadcaster Marian Finucane looked brilliant in black as she married her partner, John Clarke, at Dublin’s registry office earlier today.

Marian wore a gorgeous black coat with a fedora-style hat while John’s suit was set off with a single red rose in his breast pocket.

The radio presenter and her partner of thirty years have two children together, a son named Jack and a daughter, Sinéad. Sinéad sadly passed away in 1990 when she was only eight years old.

Marian has been a broadcaster with RTÉ since 1976 and currently presents The Marian Finucane Show at weekends. 

Congratulations to the happy couple and we hope they enjoy their special day!

Stephanie Roche might not have won the FIFA Puskas Award in Zurich last night, but this Irish reporter gave us something to smile about at least!

The presenter was stationed at Stephanie's hometown in Shankill, Dublin to give some reaction from the footballer's family and friends.

However when newscaster Eamon Horan introduced the live link-up, the poor reporter was nowhere to be seen. After a few confused seconds she popped up from under the camera looking totally flustered.

We have to ask… what on earth was she doing down there?! Actually… maybe we'd rather not know!

Over the years at RTÉ there have been many instances of hecklers and protestors making their voice heard at shows such as The Late Late Show – and now The Saturday Night Show is a victim!

As the credits rolled and Brendan O’Connor began to call a competition winner, a man began to heckle: “Kenny Kenny out out” – but don’t worry, it wasn’t poor Pat Kenny being attacked again, but Enda Kenny. Or at least we assume so…

However, kudos have to go Brendan O’Connor’s way as he shouted at the heckler: “Will ya sit down ya clown!” who had now moved on to shouting about RTÉ propaganda. 

Never a dull moment on Irish TV – that’s for sure!

To be fair to him…he handled it a lot better than Pat Kenny did back in the day, which oddly enough Brendan O'Connor was on stage for…

Those of you who tuned into Choose or Lose on RTÉ2 last night possibly went through a range of emotions. Mostly disbelief, embarrassment, anger, embarrassment (yes, again), shock and bemusement. 

The game features two teams, including the hilarious Hilary Rose that battle it out over a series of 'would you rather' questions – potential we thought. 

But, as these tweets prove, execution was, well butchered. 

1. People across the country were learning things they never knew last night

2. Some people got a little sensitive about the whole debacle

3. We think he may be right there

4. This tweet may have been when one of the quiz topics was 'Cunning Linguist'…d'ya geddit?

5. Drastic times call for *very* drastic measures

6. Bet he's glad he didn't turn down the UPC gig now

7. Another mortified viewer

8. Some people were willing to give the benefit of the doubt but an hour just wasn't long enough

9. Once again, drastic calls and all that

10. Ah now…that is HIGH bar to set. Yet…

Get ready to be disappointed as it has been confirmed that Love/Hate will NOT be returning next year!

That’s right we won’t be finding out the fate of some of our favourite characters any time soon – but that doens’t mean never!

RTÉ's Head of Drama, Jane Gogan, confirmed the news that Ireland’s favourite crime drama (or TV show ever for that matter) won’t be on the schedule for next year, but did add: “A sixth series is currently in development with the writer and creator Stuart Carolan and Octagon Films." 

"It’s just a week since the series finale aired and RTÉ, the producers and Stuart feel it’s important to take time and reflect before going to production with a sixth season"

"As a public service broadcaster RTÉ’s principal concern is always the audience and the creative dynamic of a drama and we all want to ensure the writing, preparation and production of a subsequent series mirrors the high standards Love/Hate viewers have come to expect overt the past five seasons."

While we may be bitterly disappointed we’ll have to wait until 2016 (we hope!) to see what happens next after THAT last episode, it sounds like Stuart and the producers have decided against making a series for the sake of popularity – which we love!

Roll on 2016!

If you haven't watched last night's season finale of Love/Hate then what are you doing here?! You're about to read the entire episode in GIF's which, trust us, does it no justice!

If you did watch it, then like us, you may have had an emotionally turbulent time between 10.15-10.30pm last night…

We're still recovering.

Here are the reactions we experienced during last night's episode of Love/Hate:

1. When we were waiting for the action to happen for like, 45 minutes…

2. When poor Janeh got tortured with a saw and we realised Aardn would never get that ‘word’ from Nidge he’d been promised for about six months

3. When we realised Fran wasn’t going to get to kill Nidge after all…

4. When Noely said he was going to ‘smash’ Fran’s back door in…

5. When we realised what he actually meant by that and the pool cue was snapped in half…

6. Everything that happened in that scene after that…

7. When Nadine said she wasn't a prostitute and Ado thoroughly disagreed

8. When Donna called Siobhán ‘chicken’ for the ten millionth time…

9. When Detective Moynihan ate Nidge's tax disc…

10. When we realised we haven't heard Tommy talk in about a year…

11. When Siobhán started shouting at Nidge and wouldn’t stop and Warren wouldn’t go inside

12. When Patrick arrived on the scene and all hell broke loose…

13. When Siobhán lay bleeding (but STILL breathing people!)

14. When Patrick shot Nidge twice (but not once in the head, people!) and Warren was watching, rather calmly we might add

15. When it ended and we realised it would be another year before we find out if King Nidge has lived, if Donna would ever see her chicken alive again, if Fran will ever play a round of pool again and if Leighton would ever get out of that feckin’ apartment and into some fresh air

16. When we decided it was the best episode yet and how much we cannot wait for season six…

Una Foden was announced as a judge for season four of The Voice of Ireland just last week and now the last judge has been announced as Rachel Stevens!

Rachel, who was once part of S Club 7, will join veteran judges, Kian Egan and Bressie and new judge Una on the talent show which airs on RTÉ on the 4th January next year.

Rachel spoke of her delight at the announcement, saying: “I’m a big fan of The Voice so I can’t wait to join the team of coaches on the Voice of Ireland this year. I’m sure it will be great fun, but most of all I’m looking forward to listening to the great vocal talent that Ireland has to offer each week and to securing a team of people who have excited me enough to make me push that button for them. When I turn my chair, it will be for someone really special who gets under my skin and I truly believe has what it takes to make it to the final.”

We wonder which of the ladies Kian will take on, having come face to face with Dolores and Jamelia in past times – we can't wait to see!

Season 3 of the epic TV series The Fear is returning to RTÉ 2 on the 29th September and to celebrate they have released a hilarious prank. 

Two people are left baffled (and mad too) when the guards turn up on their doorsteps and tell them their son, who has been in Mountjoy Prison, can now be put under house arrest. 

Except he's not their son…

Hilarious – we don't think they'll ever answer the door again though!

RTÉ's new show Drunk is a bit on the controversial side, as it offers free alcohol to contestants so that they can then be put through different tests to see the effects of the drug on our ability to function.

The results? Well, apparently scientists were amazed at how little twelve or thirteen standard units of alcohol affected contestants, causing concern at how tolerant we are becoming due to over indulgence.

Bill Malone, RTE Two Channel Controller said that "The first night we went filming, we supplied the alcohol. The Irish young people, all over 18 of course, drank 12 to 13 vodkas each and the majority of them were functioning completely normal on the tests.

"The medical professionals were astounded by the level of capacity in the young Irish people who were able to drink."

We're all for tolerance here at SHEmazing!, but not like this! If you're going out tonight, maybe set yourself a healthy limit of alcohol, you'll be glad of it in the morning!

It has been revealed that Bressie will star in an upcoming RTE TV show.

The singer, who has previously been a judge on The Voice, will feature in a show called Teenage Kicks which focuses on scouting new musical talent in Limerick.

Bressie opened up about Teenage Kicks, saying: “There’s a big rap scene down in Limerick, that’s how it ended up. It is myself, one of the lads from Fight Like Apes and a member of The Rubberbandits, so it’s following us and our work with musicians to put a band together, it was amazing.!

The show’s episodes are set to be 40 minutes long and see the The Voice judge choosing band members from over 250 auditions – phew that sounds like work!

 No doubt the addition of The Rubberbandits member will make for a few giggles!

We wonder what the show will be like – will you be tuning in? It is due to hit our TV screens this autumn. 

Meanwhile, it has also been confirmed that Bressie will be returning to our screens on The Voice. We can't wait to see who replaces Dolores O'Riordan and how they get on with our opinionated Bressie!
