On tomorrow night’s episode of TV3’s smash hit show Gogglebox Ireland, the final new home will be revealed.

Over the last four weeks we’ve seen four new homes join the Gogglebox family and tomorrow night we’ll meet the fifth and final home – The Morans from Portlaoise.

The Morans are a GAA and soccer mad family, who enjoy watching TV together and having a laugh.

Dad Denis is originally from Kilkenny and is devoted to Manchester United and Brian Cody’s Kilkenny Hurlers.

Anne-Marie and Denis met through mutual friends at a party in Dublin and have been married for 30 years.

Miniature Yorkshire terriers Bella and Scooby join them on the sofa and Chloe says her Mum treats them nearly better than her own kids.

Oasis fan Chloe recently got a Champagne Supernova tattoo on the back of her neck and started a new job in Dublin city this year.

Younger sister and football star Gráinne is doing her Leaving Cert and is captain of the Scoil Chríost Rí football team who lost the All-Ireland semi-final today.

Gráinne scored 1-1 but it wasn’t enough as her side went down by 1-11 to 5-4 in the end to St Ciaran’s Ballygawley, the Ulster champions from Tyrone.

As a family, they often sit down to watch The Graham Norton Show together on Friday nights.

Chloe enjoys ‘car-crash reality’ TV like Ex on the Beach but also loves 24hrs in A&E. Gráinne is more into Pretty Little Liars and Suits and other American shows.

Clint Eastwood fan Denis likes The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.

Anne-Marie’s favourite programme is The Big Bang Theory. She also has a soft spot for George Clooney and will fight with Chloe over who has first dibs on him.

Gogglebox Ireland airs on TV3 and 3player tomorrow night at 9pm.
