Everyone’s talking about… The Late Late Show

Not only did The Late Late Show feature Marty Morrissey dressed as a 1916 volunteer, but it also featured a flagrant disregard for the Unofficial Rules of Good Friday.

You see, Roz Purcell prepared a lamb dish during her cooking segment and Ryan Tubridy then served it to members of the audience. Meat on Good Friday!

The nation was scandalised.

God bless us and save us.
