RTE Tommy Tiernan Show viewers were left in awe after the latest episode of the Meath comedian and actor's chat show. The show is revered for its format which sees Tommy left in the dark as to who his guests are until they emerge on stage.

In Saturday night's episode, Tommy welcomed Charlotte Church, Davy Russell and Oein DeBhairduin to the hot seat.

One viewer said: "Loved Charlotte."

Another viewer said: "Top man Davy he was fearless on the racecourse and a funny gent off it."

Fans were stunned by Tommy's interview with Welsh singer-songwriter, actress, and television presenter Charlotte Church.

Another viewer said: "I love that she's taken the time to learn this and bring some Irish lore to the interview."

Another viewer said: "Beautiful and so well spoken great interview well done to Tommy letting her speak."

Davy said: "I love dancing and I love the craic and I love when everybody is just going and you can kind of slip in and out of it. I love that and the sweat dripping off you."
